Flitting with Mac

My Toshiba dainabook was finally broken.
The keyboard is not working which started the day I brought it work on the rainy day. It was a good PC though, I gave up fixing it from the beginning instead I went shopping at Bic Camera which is one of big electric shop in Japan and bought MAC PC there for the first time.

I buy PC even if I don't have money.
Some of my friends don't own their computers.
They all say that they can't afford for it and are OK with using just cellphone or company PC.
But they spend money on things that I don't.
It is interesting how people make priorities on consuming.

Also I changed my cellphone to i phone at the same day.
I had used my old cell phone since 2002, which is much longer than other people.
Normally Japanese people like to change their phone a lot.

I was impressed by GPS function on i phone at the shop.
How convenient it is!

The old phone was really classic. I never used IR or QR functions.

Anyway, it was difficult to use MAC for the first time, especially when I want to search information about the computer on the Internet in Japanese.
Also to ensure software compatibility between MAC and Windows was pretty hard too!






Some spiritual painter draws on the post card by receiving inspiration from her guardian angel when she faces at the client.
She drew this for me.

i have owned my motorola since 2004. I like it because it is rugged and just a phone. I think I could throw it against a wall and it would still work. and it doesn't take pictures of the inside of my pocket like the stupidly engineered phones of today.
I will use the little thing until it dies.

true love

good luck with mac. I started with them but gave up on it when they went to system "X" --- more trouble and worse than windows---forget it---good luck

Thanks, Mark.

As far as I know, you are the first person who switched Windows from Mac.

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Aomori

The northernmost part of Honshu(Main Land). It's about 700km away from Tokyo. Where The lantern festival take place. Where Tsugaru Shamisen originated. 8 hours driving. Easy driving. Food! Pink flowers and shrine. Pink pink pink. Season goes a little later than Tokyo. Plants took over the house. How pretty you are. This mountain called Osorezan , which is one of spiritual places in Japan.

Oh Japanese..

I've been reading Hard boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami lately. His expressions are soooo good that I can't help making a note while I'm reading. His descriptions are amazing. I read the book on the commuting train and if there's any line that I am impressed, I take out my mobile and text it to my PC e-mail. Thus, I'm busy on the train, especially my commuting hour has been shorted since I moved. I miss long time train trip a bit. My neighbourhood photos. -Japanese- 今村上春樹の『世界の終わりとハードボイルドワンダーランド』を読んでいます。 彼の表現力は素晴らしくてついついメモをとってしまいます。 彼の本は評価が好きな人は大好き、良さが分からない、と分かれますが 私は彼の表現に感動する事が多いです。 通勤電車の中で読んでいて、素敵だ、と思うラインがあると 携帯を取り出し自分のパソコンにメールをしてしまいます。 なので電車でとっても忙しい・・。 引っ越して通勤時間が短くなってしまったので 以前のような長い通勤時間も懐かしい気がします。
