The Mysterious Man Behind JapanSoc and Me!
June 15th, 2008 by Mike
Nick after his leg muscles atrophied due to another marathon session of debugging all of the problems with my blog.
Over the past year on this blog, much has been said about my Net Buddy 4 Life, Nick Ramsay. Nick has influenced me greatly and without him MichaelMcKinlay.com, and OmoshiroiEigo.com would not exist!
Nick finally able to support himself on his own two feet again. He’s sticking close to me in case he has another “episode” and needs something to grab on to on his way down to the concrete floor.
Nick is a dot com mogul, family man, and a chocolate fiend. I spent a couple of days at his house when I was in Japan and we had great old time together. Together, (and by “together” I mean mostly Nick) “we” did the following:
1. Updated my blog to the latest version of WordPress
2. Updated my fancy new banner at top of this page.
3. Visited an earthquake simulator. (This will be blogged about soon!)
4. Went shopping with his family and ate sushi!
Nick is a pretty smart guy, especially when it comes to computers. However when the two of us get together I’m usually able to bring him down to my level as evidenced by the following picture.
Another shot of me holding Nick up after he lost all spatial ability and control of muscles. Wait a minute, that’s how Nick usually looks. As for me, well… I’m just trying to blend in…

Oh Net Buddy, you crack me up!
Haha! Look at Rikuto chewing away on the handlebar of his pushchair!
Yeah that’s pretty funny, you can see him going for that handlebar in the first pic and then he’s locked on it in the second! Has he chewed it off yet?
Very amusing Michael!
Glad you liked it Neil!
How you guys managed to avoid jail time, I’ll never know. Or, is that
an upcoming story?
That’s a great idea Billy and I will have to give it some consideration! Nick and I just love tom-foolery!!!
It is great to see you guys having so much fun together. You two are like a pair made in heaven. Nick is a clever guy, yet is very down to earth.
Could not agree with you more on all points Mark!
Haha I like the mirror photo. You guys are funny.
It’s even funnier when I look at those photos in my picture gallery because instead of scrolling down the pictures instantly change… So almost everything else looks the same in these photos and then Nick instantly appears behind me! Oh it’s all good fun!
Love the captions for each picture Net Buddy!
Well thats what they are there for!
Wow! you are both real! up until now I though you are two Japanese robots that are here to advertise Japan!
Really? We thought the exact same thing about you!
I know you are having fun but I think you probably are not a good influence on Nick!!!
Tell me something I don’t know!
The creepy factor of the picture set in front of the mirror was definitely set at 10. I can’t stop laughing though.
Glad you liked it!
