Introducing Dramafever — Dramabeans

Thanks to Korea Beat for the link.

Dramabeans then points to a site (in closed beta) that will stream Korean dramas with English subtitles to American IPs (VPN or proxy needed when outside the states).

Actually, I really don't like Korean dramas (or any dramas for that matter). I watch them with my wife (and my son who loves them like cartoons) and they are simple soap operas. They have similar plots (Koreanized, of course), acting, and staging as American soaps. These are simple trash. HOWEVER......I'd really like to know what's going on without have to get translations from my wife, who would rather not talk (or listen to me) during the soap. Maybe I can get basic back stories here so I can better understand the most recent episodes.

Enjoy (if you can).

JALT Conference 2008

The Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT) contacted me about advertising their conference at the end of the month (OCT 31). I was happy to do so. It's a great organization and I just wish I could go myself. Please see the picture below for more information or go to their website at http://jalt.org/
