Sometimes I get distracted and move around in the lab a little too much. One of the remedies I use on myself to prevent me from leaving the chair is tying myself to it so glue won’t ruin my jeans. ^^.

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Gatsby commercial song
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Ever watched the Gatsby moving rubber commercials with Kimutaku (Kimura Takuya for short) and, like me, wondered, “where did they manage such a cool song and how can I get it?”.
Look no further my friends, it’s out there. At the official Gatsby website. I’ve found my new ringtone. ^^.
♫♬I can give you Gatsby…. Gatsby…. Gatsby♪♬
In case you’re wondering, the original song 「愛がすべて」 is by “The Stylistics”. Also know as “can’t give you anything (but my love). Here’s a video I found on youTube.
Xserve and Xraid

My babies were taken away from me a little over 2 weeks ago… With our lab closing down and all, stuff had to go. The Mac servers which I’ve so painstakingly set up were sent off to another university in Kyushu. I would have loved to bring them home. ^^.
Pentax K-m Olive
Monday, March 30th, 2009
The second limited edition Pentax K-m that I know of. The first one being the white version which was limited to 3000 pieces worldwide. This Pentax K-m olive version is limited to only 1000!
Will probably be released into the wild towards the end of April. Taking orders now. ¥74,800 is not a bad price… considering it’s only 1000 pieces! There’s something wrong with the label too. Can you spot it? ^^.
I was pretty tempted…. but I’m a Nikon guy. Any takers?
The versatility of fuck
Monday, March 30th, 2009Probably the most versatile word in the English language.

Yamanote line watch
Sunday, March 29th, 2009When I get amazed at a device such as this, it usually means that I’ve not been out enough. ^^. If you’re a big fan of the Yamamote loop line (山手線) in Tokyo, you’re not considered a fan until you own this! It gives you the time in exactly the same format as what you would see when you’re at any station along the JR Yamanote line. With the whole “電車がまいります” she bang. Also burns a ¥25,200 hold in your pocket. Not cheap!
Songs about Sakura
Saturday, March 28th, 2009It’s Sakura season again! Was watching a “Good Morning Japan” program on TV the other day and according to them and the nameless people on the street they surveyed, these are the top 3 sakura songs… ever, as of March 2009.
Number 3 is 桜坂 (Sakurazaka) by 福山雅治.
