Apple Store in Ginza
I met up with Fumie today, and we stopped by the Apple store in Ginza. It is a nice store, with five floors and very curious elevators. Clear glass, but no buttons. They are mind reading elevators. They had a whole bunch of iPod Nanos, and they are a lot cooler than I first thought. They are just amazingly small. Afterwards, we found a nice restaurant that is お忍びダイニング, which just means that you are at semi-private tables. It has nothing to do with Ninja food. It was a really nice dinner though.
Yesterday, Eric, Sharon, and I went to a Matsuri at Toritsu Daigaku. They had a Taiko drum that Eric and Sharon enjoyed beating on for a while.

Job hunting in Japan, blog software
I arrived in Japan August 24th, 2005 to start my job hunting activities. I also installed bBlog on FuguTabetai.com, and I think it is quite nice software. I should be able to post a bunch more because this automates a lot of what I was doing by hand.May 20, 2005

If you are interested, check out the amazingly simple things I had to do to get my Treo 600 working as a modem on my Fedora Core 2 linux install.April 23, 2004
Asobi Seksu
Asobi Seksu played at Lounge 13 on Thursday, and I went to check them out. I really, really recommend them. Their CD should be out soonish in NY area stores, but at least hit their website, check out their MP3s, and then go see them play.

Say Hi To Your Mom
Caught Say Hi To Your Mom at the Mercury Lounge. It was a great show. They are a great band. Had dinner at Waikiki Wally's (a really kitschy Tiki place, sister restaurant to Lucky Cheng's) before that. Really cute ambiance, and surprisingly good food.April 9, 2004

Rock 'n Rollerskate
2004/04/04 Rockin' Roller Skate at OfficeOps in Brooklyn was just a blast. Take 4 bands, put them in a cage, give the audience roller skates, add beer and stir. Of course, since Bishop Allen was one of the bands, I thought I should lace up some skates and head out there.

2004 Japan Girls SAMURAI US tour
I went to check out the Japanese Girls SAMURAI US tour when it came to New York, and had a great time. 4 Japanese girl bands ranging from "the new breed of Japanese noise" to a "Ukulele playing duo". I really, really liked Petty Booka, a country hawaiian ukelele pop duo. They sounded just beautiful, and were funny to boot. Check them out. I also like Noodles a lot. No pictures though (didn't have a camera with me.)March 12, 2004
Bishop Allen and We Are Scientists
Bishop Allen and We Are Scientists show at Lit. Totally rocked.
