The Blog from Another Dimension might conjure up images of science fiction, but click through to Luis Poza's blog and you'll quickly see that it's about the here and now, cataloging his thoughts about current events, technology and social issues in Japan.

A professor of English and Computer Science at Lakeland College Japan in Tokyo, Poza has lived 18 years in Japan and since August 2003, he has faithfully updated his blog every day. While he does often write about his immediate surroundings (found in the blog's Focus on Japan category), the content of his posts doesn't stop there. For example, in the past he has posted entries related to the war on terror, and recently he's been following the progress of the U.S. presidential primaries.

Unlike many of his blogging peers, Poza doesn't supplement his income with ads. He says that moneymaking was never his goal. The blog began as a medium of self-discipline. Over time, though, he says it's opened doors to new things and people and inspired him to "reach out." Maybe it should be re-titled Blog to Another Dimension.
