Much more than a poor-man’s iPhone: Shadow

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

How ironic the name: Shadow. I am talking about T-Mobile Shadow that I just got. It is almost like iPhone but I had about three hundred reason why I got the phone: it is about 300 dollars cheaper than iPhone. Even though it runs Windows Mobile (yikes), I still like it. I may even say […]

Creating Mac/PC hybrid multimedia presentation CD-ROM

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

This took me a long time to figure out and I will probably not have to do it again for a long time so I will write this down now for my own future reference.
My work is creating a give-away CD. All it is is an html/javascript file that you can view with standard web […]

I like Twitter…

Friday, July 20th, 2007

I recently discovered Twitter, a online “status” notification. The idea isn’t new. Facebook (which I ‘ve been also spending more times than I should) always had the “status” and other websites like Yahoo! fantasy baseball has one similar that is called “Smack.” What is cool about Twitter is that it is all archived, and , […]

No Performance Service Plan for me.. and Dr. Rob

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

I got a little complain about Best Buy… I bought a digital camera last summer, a Panasonic DMC-LZ5 a decent camera, good zoom (6x optical), OK price… $230 at the time. I also got a 4 year “Performance Service Plan” for $60. At last Red Sox game I went to, I accidentally dropped it, and […]

New toy!

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Just ordered a new toy online. It’s Boston Red Sox Schedule Watch from Game Time and it “update your Schedule Watch directly off the internet each season. Just hook up the custom designed USB connector and download the next season’s schedule.” Awesome, no doubt I am going to attempt to hack this to display my […]

Iwamura and Imae, iChat and Netgear problem… (two topics not related)

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

I know its minor thing, but this is bothering me… I’ve seen this Getty photo on many websites, even in mlb.com, sportsline.com and St. Petersburg Times, labeled as D-ray’s new third baseman Akinori Iwamura, taken at last spring’s World Baseball Classic tournament.
The problem is, It is not Iwamura. It is actually Chiba Lotte Marines’ third […]

Shopping for new Cable/DSL company

Friday, November 10th, 2006

I am on RCN cable network for over, ah, 5 years now? It has been good, but it is just significantly slower now. Here is a case in point: i have just finished my weekly podcast show (38 min. in length, about 18 MB in file size) and I have been uploading it to my […]

Mixing my RSSes

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

I have an English blog (this one), a Japanese blog and a Japanese PodCast. They all are powered by WordPress and they all have rss feed. But if I want to put every one of them into one feed, it wasn’t easy. Since all three blogs generate its own RSSes, it seemed simple enough to […]

Trying to figure out the video chat

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

So, my son is 19 month old. It is a really cute age (I think he will be forever cute… :P), and my mom in Japan really wants to see him. “Video Chat”, we said. “I heard that Skype now supports video chat, mom, go buy a computer and we’ll do video chat.” This […]

blog + del.icio.us + flickr = feedburn

Wednesday, September 7th, 2005

This is pretty cool. Using FeedBurner’s free service, I can combine my photos from flickr and recently bookmarked item on del.icio.us. Link Splicer and Photo Splicer are the two service for this. It was easy to set up and I now have a pretty regularly updated RSS! Very nice. I discovered this while trying to […]
