I’ve been using a Bluetooth keyboard, provided by the Apple, for my iPad. Its been a while since I started typing with it, and I’ve been happy with this device, except one of its aspect : CapsLock.
I don’t quite remember when I started hating the CapsLock key. It must have been ever since [...]
It’s been a while since I got to know about TED, Technology, Entertainment, Design. While I was working in Japan, a friend of mine introduced me one translation project in the TED, called TED Open Translation Project. I started taking part as a translator, and by creating a www-based service for translation.
Having seen the available [...]
My latest toy is something I thought about buying more than a year ago, and I eventually decided to go for an iPad; a device called “Kindle” from Amazon. I was sure they would release something before the Christmas, and when I heard the news (or rumor) that newest Kindle would be Android-based and full-color [...]
In the past few months, I’ve been either working (on my full-time job) or working on my MBA assignments. I think things are (gradually) getting frustrating for me, as I wasn’t doing a lot of activities, of which the primary goal is to simply have fun.
When I was browsing my RSS feeds, I read [...]
A friend of mine recently wrote about how convenient the kindle is, a reading device provided by Amazon. After writing to his wall, he suggested I should go for one as well, given that I understand many of the contents provided bat kindle store.
I have to be honest here. Before I decided to go for [...]
It’s been bothering me to read about the news from Japan recently. Yes, there’s earthquake followed by tsunami, reconstruction is on its way (and I’m sure things will be back in normal sooner or later). There is, however, one thing which worried me a lot.
In some cities where tsunami hit the most, all the [...]
After the earthquake(s) in Japan, I’ve been thinking about what I would be doing under such (extreme) circumstances and what I could be doing now (while I still could).
One obvious and first thing I’d be doing is to (try to) contact to my families. Among our family members, we’re using Skype as means of [...]
After getting an iPad, I’ve been trying out various news browsing applications. The iPhone is great in a sense that it could connect to the Internet almost at any places (where the mobile phone data signal can reach). But iPad can show you much more information at glance.
I’ve tried one application available in Japanese, [...]
It’s been more than one year since I involved in TED Open Translation Project. When I look back, it seems I may have contributed more on creating services (and scripts) that make translations and its reviews easier (well, so I at least hope), rather than by my translations themselves. At least I’m happy with what [...]
My current iPod is my 3rd iPod. I bought this iPod nano 4G about 2 years ago in Tokyo. It’s got wheel, can plan movie, and doesn’t have video recording feature (which I usually never need). Overall, I’m fairly satisfied with this model.
Recently Apple announced new iPod nano 6G. Somehow, I’m not yet convinced [...]
