AJAX-based Japanese IME
Not precisely "business" per se, but as I was trolling for information on Japanese morphological analyzers (long story, I am on a project using NLP for Japanese news programs), I found this clever AJAX-based Japanese IME that allows you to enter roomaji to get kana, kanji, etc. without having a full-blown IME installed. Just click on that "IME On" button, and whoa-hey! ... Japanese input!
It is apparently based on ChaSen, a complex Japanese morphological analyzing toolkit.
Man, is this not a pretty sweet piece of AJAX?

Wow - That is very impressive. I wonder if Rikai also uses ChaSen to figure out word boundaries and suggest the right furigana.

Clicked in a link deeper, and found an explanation: rikai uses the kakasi Japanese language processing filter. This Rikai is way cool, too! Man, that looks like a pretty clever use of JavaScript, too!
But more than that: isn't that Zed Shaw in that photograph???

Does this coolness not stop???
I just found the Firefox plugin rikaichan, which is based on Todd David Rudick's Rikai.
What a great Friday this is turning out to be.
