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.

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.

Blackout Threatened

It's very cold day. The consumption of electricity has been increasing due to heating. There's rolling blackouts due to electricity shortages caused from Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. TEPCO, Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc., divided Kanto region into five groups and have been carrying out stop electric power for a few hours in order. Plan was not informed in advance, which gave people confusion. During blackout, traffic light is out of service, there was a fatal traffic accident due to that. My friend took a photo of drinking scene under candlelight At the office, there was an emergency company broadcast at 4:30 pm today. They said 'There might be unpredictable huge blackouts tonight due to lack of supply of electricity according to METI. There will be chance of confusion of transportation therefore go home immediately'. Trains in Tokyo running every few minutes so accurately, and if there's any unusual things such as blackout, it will be a serious con...

Lost in Translation

There are frequent questions for foreigners who visit in Japan such as 'Can you use chopsticks?' or 'Do you eat Natto ?'. And relatively one of the latest might be 'Have you ever watched Lost in Translation?'. And interesting thing is that people who are familiar with Japan well or live in this country for a long time didn't really like that movie. (Including me) I was asked by my friend why, I replied that Sofia Coppola emphasized strange things of Japanese a little bit too much. The Japanese hooker didn't have to be that old woman with such degrading English. The director must have intended it to compare to the heroine who was young and a white beautiful girl. By the way, I and my other friend went to the bar at Park Hyatto in Shinjyku to experience Lost In Translation in last January. The hotel was splendid. All these three picture were being taken by her camera.
