Automating the process works well if you use a combination of RSS and a simple blogging engine like tumblr.

Smart.FM allows the use of images also. It all depends on your style of learning, but the most important part is to make something of it. That's where I like the idea of visual scrapbooking or tumble logging. As you collect objects you also annotate so your recollections of them become stronger.

I’ve been using this for a while, and I like it just for the randomness of it.

1. Download John’s Background Switcher. It’s a free program that will set your desktop background to random photos from whatever major online photo service you specify, and whatever feeds you specify. (You can get pretty specific.)

2. Specify backgrounds that have Japanese typography in them. You can find groups in Flickr, etc., that have Japanese signs, etc., in them. Have those rotate as your desktop backgrounds, and use your desktop as reading practice. Good practice for when you get there.

EDIT: There are groups in Flickr called japanesesigns and japanese-typography that I pick photos from for my desktop backgrounds.
