Monday, August 29th, 2005

We all love the Google Maps. Now Microsoft has created Virtual Earth. They both support API. (Application Programming Interface, not Asian and Pacific Islander!) Here is Google API page and here is Virtual Earth API page. very interesting.

Baseballcards

Saturday, August 27th, 2005

Since I have started collecting Japanese baseball players cards, I’ve got many cards but also accumulated some of unwanted (but somewhat valuable) crads. I am thinking of trading. Doing some research on web community and here is what I found:
The Card Board Village, The Bench, Trader Retreat, Sports Card Forum.
Most of those people are hard […]

A new phone

Monday, August 22nd, 2005

I got it. Bought Motorola MPx200 as well as PocketMac. So far… well, not bad. Not completely blown away by it. For one thing, battery doesn’t seem to last as long as advertised, but since it can be charged by USB cable as well as regular power and car charger, it has not been too […]

Booking travel online experiment

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2005

So I wanted to go to a convention in Minneapolis in two weeks, and I almost gave up because it appeared to be way too expensive for just myself. But on the second thought, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to do a search to see if I can get a cheap last minute air-and-hotel deal. […]

Ganbare!

Monday, August 1st, 2005

Here is a Japanese word that doesn’t have good translation English words. Ganbare! 頑張れ or がんばれ . According to goo on-line dictionary, it is translated as Hold out!/ Chin up! You say this to people who needs your support, or mainly athlete in action. Like when you see a Japanese guy in Boston marathon, people […]
