Weekly Photos from my iPhone 1

Continuing from miscellaneous iphone photos, I’m going to start dumping photos I took with my iPhone here. ^^. Having a wordpress app on the iPhone makes it quite a convenient process.

Here’s a photo I took and added the Helga effect to it with the Camera Bag iPhone app. Pretty impressive app. It has other filters for creating different effects too. I highly recommend it if you’re into taking photos… on your iPhone.

Topology Optimization

I thought I’ll just give you a peak into what I do when I’m in my serious mode. ^^. This is called structural topology optimization. In layman terms, we want a structure with certain mechanical properties and we want to achieve it with a limited amount of material. Can you think of what you would like to do with a tool like this?

Shibuya – the dodgy area and Kendo gear

Tags: ,

If you’ve been to Tokyo, or planning a trip here, Shibuya will probably be on your list… right? hmmm… bright neon lights!

Dodgy Shibuya  001

Have you been to Shibuya’s dodgy area? You know, where there’s lots of pink neon lights and stores which provide free information on where the action is at and what’s hot? Not to mention the … ahem… toy stores. ^^.

Hiromi Nishiuchi

Taken from Japan Today.

Hiromi Nishiuchi, 19, the new image girl for lingerie maker Triumph International Japan in 2009, poses during a press event Wednesday in Tokyo. Nishiuchi, who is the 17th image girl for the company, won the “Miss Air Guitar Japan Contest” in 2007 and also performed in Muscle Musical in 2006 where athletes demonstrate gymnastic stunts on the stage. She will work for the company’s brand promotion from Nov 1 to October 2009.

She’s not even 20! I thought her name sounded familiar and did a google. Figures. I last saw her over at danny’s place. I would like to experience one of those photo shoots too! … Behind the lens, not in front of it. ^^.

ps. anyone seen her air guitar?
