Welcome back to Cirno's Stuff of the day! For all of you who are learning Japanese, here is a great little accessory to help you out:
Here is a mouse pad that will not only serve as a great flat surface for your mouse, it also features Japanese Hiragana and their “translation” into the alphabet used for the English language! It could also serve as a reminder that you need to practice, because if we don't use a language we will easily forget it. It would be the perfect gift to anyone you know who is trying to learn Japanese, and who couldn't use a mouse pad? Even when not for your mouse, it makes a nice, big coaster!

Hanafuda are playing cards of Japanese origin that are used to play a number of games. The name literally translates as "flower cards." Each deck comes with 48 cards and is traditionally printed with scenes of nature and flowers. These cards are decorated with flowers as well, but lets not forget the Star Wars characters! The name also refers to games played with those cards. There are many games you can play with these cards, so you'll never get bored of them!

Answer to yesterday's question: ”George Lucas is a filmmaker, with a film career dominated by writing and production. Aside from the nine short films he made in the 1960s, he also directed six major features. His work from 1971 and 1977 as a writer-director, which established him as a major figure in Hollywood, consists of just three films: [i]THX 1138, American Graffiti
, and Star Wars
. There was a 22-year hiatus between the original Star Wars film and his only other feature-film directing credits, the three Star Wars prequels.
Lucas acted as a writer and executive producer on another successful Hollywood film franchise, the Indiana Jones series. In addition, he established his own effects company, Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), to make the original Star Wars film. The company is now one of the most successful in the industry.“[/i]
Today's question: What connects George Lucas with Pixar?
