One of the best books written about North Korea's recent history is the award-winning "
Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea" by Barbara Demick. In this fast page-turning chronicle, Demick presents a rare up close and personal view into the daily lives of people living within a horrifying and brutal totalitarian nation. Through fifteen years of tyrannical rule and hardship after hardship, the author follows six North Koreans who fall in love, get married, raise families and confide their innermost thoughts and feelings in Demick. As unemployment and famine ravage the land, the six families risk everything to escape.
Now a small award-winning documentary production company named
Mosaic Films is in the early planning stages of the production of an animated feature film based on Demick's book. Led by filmmaker Andy Glynne, Mosaic Films is now running a donation campaign in an effort to secure funding for production costs. Supporters for this film include
Amnesty International,
NK News,
Christian Solidarity Worldwide and others. Below is a trailer and a short message from Glynne:
And here is part of an interview with North Korean defector Kim Jooil. This is part of a testimony initiative within the Nothing to Envy project.
If possible please contribute to the making of the "Nothing To Envy" documentary
here. There are many interesting prizes being given away for donors. For more information please visit the movie's
official website.

In the past two years or so, we have seen some really creative, high-tech Japanese "communication" devices unveiled like Japan's New Communication w/ Yourself Invention, Japanese Cats Ears For "Communication" and Japanese Virtual Web Sex Technology which features the "PenisTron" and a "Communication Hole Rider" that allows users to anonymously experience virtual sex via the internet. It's all somewhat complicated but apparently we humans "can still have sex because it's just data." O.O
Now a company known as Kiluck, which handled the production of the “necomimi” or "cat's ears", brings us the all new excitement communication device known as "Tailly", the tail that wags when you get excited! This has to be seen to be believed:
From Kiluck's official kickstarter page we found the following description: "Tailly is a wearable wagging tail which reacts to the user’s heart rate. When you wear Tailly, you’ll radiate cuteness and happiness!"
Mmmmmkkkaaaayyy, so what about just smiling, laughing and actually saying your true feelings instead?
Nope.
Why?
Because Japan.
We expect this device to become very popular, very quickly in Japan when released. It will be available in various colors:
