We’ve been working feverishly to get this e-book reader done before Yumi enters the hospital (tomorrow!). It took longer than I anticipated (Can you say ぎりぎり?), but it is done–and I think (read: hope) done well.
You can get a preview of the MP3 and learn [...]
In less than 30 minutes the new iPhone 3G will begin selling in Japan. According to the news just now, Japan will be the first country to be able to grab the new iPhone today. I’m sure this is due to time differences.
Today’s post is brought to you buy the word:

I just got an email from a group in England with an interesting marketing idea. Well, I guess it builds on the One Million Dollar website idea of a few years ago, but essentially, you ‘buy’ a word, any word, and receive a link to your website. Once you buy it, it is yours for [...]
When my sister got her iPhone almost a year ago, her parents-in-law (with mere mortal cell phones) used to joke, “Can your iPhone get us a drink?” or “Make your iPhone change the channel.” or “Let’s see if your iPhone can swim.” Of course “iPhone” was said with a little sarcastic drawl.

No doubt the recent price drop move by Apple encouraged Amazon to lower their Kindle price, but unfortunately they didn’t lower it much.

This morning a (anonymous) friend had a question about embedding a Youtube video into his Wordpress blog. I set it up for him and gave him brief instructions [...]
Many websites use what’s called ‘Captcha’ to make sure those filling out comment forms or user registrations are actual humans. It is the annoying little ‘type the obscure word you see in the scrambled picture above’ bit.
Well, we were getting quite a large number of spam bot user account attempts (The user account has to [...]
When I go somewhere and know there will be at least a few minutes of reading time, I like to take a few books. I really should just limit myself to a single title and ‘rough it’ with just that, but I usually like to pepper my reading time with different subjects or tastes. [...]
This morning, my friend Gary and I were talking about the competition Apple’s iPhone faces with the new Google phone and others. He asked if I had heard about Microsoft’s myPhone—or perhaps spelled, miPhone.
I hadn’t heard of the miPhone, but with a little imagination here is an early concept photo:
Now if they could only get [...]
