I don’t really celebrate halloween, but it’s an excuse to do something different today. And I like doing something different. ^^. It’s halloween and I’m having Jack O’Carrot visit me in my 鶏鍋 (tori nabe, loosely… chicken hot pot). What are you eating this 2009 Halloween?
Happy Halloween people, treat or twit.
My Magic Mouse arrived in the mail 2 days ago. I was going to write about it straightaway, but decided it best to use the mouse for a few days and let it sink in before reviewing it. So, 2 days later and my thoughts so far? Well, it has replaced my wireless Mighty Mouse. ^^.
Just found out from this flyer that Keio University has student club that takes to the skies every weekends! As a kid, I’ve dreamt of being a pilot after watching…. you’ve guess it, Top Gun. That cool F-14 Tomcat, no longer in active naval service. The US Navy retired it in favor of the F-18 a few years back in 2006. There goes my dream of flying one. Now I can only build models of it. ^^.
Have you ever dreamt of being a pilot? You can probably tell that I like the F-14. There’s just something about that plane. The wings, the twin afterburners… It reminds me of Valkyries! What about you? Have a favorite plane?
Had a chance to try out the famed HTC Hero the other night. Phone belongs to Kyle who bought it in the UK. I couldn’t let a chance like that slip by since the Hero isn’t available in Japan… yet. I don’t even know if it’s going to come to Japan.
Anyway, that aside. Interface looks pretty good. The phone wasn’t very responsive to my touches. I had to apply a little more pressure. But Kyle assured me that it was the protective cover he had on’s fault.
What I do like about Android is the pattern recognition unlock screen.
Took a breather just before 5 today. Stared out a window and saw the sun set in the horizon. As buildings around here are pretty short, sunsets are simply spectacular on a clear day. I’m sure I’ve asked this question a gazillion times, but are you a sunset or sunrise person?
I went and listened in on the Good Ideas Salon panel conversation on “pure living” last night. The 6 panelists included, from technology, Peter Rojas of gdgt and Danny Choo, from architecture, Mark Dytham and Rie Azuma, and green visionaries Marc Alt and Hiromi Matsubara.
What does “pure living” mean to you?
At Tsutaya today, I saw a poster that read "4 CDs for ¥1000". Something snapped inside and I just went.
"Time to work on my lounge collection".
