Vertical Apple Cinema DisplayHaving the screen sit vertically is actually a good method for coding. I've tried it a few times myself and it works great, assuming that screen is used solely for displaying code. For other things it's pretty useless.
kotobukiya x dannychooWill this book be available via online stores such as Amazon Japan? As for my photos, I may have to retake them since the ones I did last time per crap. Though at the moment I don't have much time since I'm busy looking for a new job now.
Future of dannychoo.comHaving a look through figure.fm and realised you're missing a basic element: Comments counter. Though I'm sure you'll be pushing basic stuff like that sooner or later.
I like the idea of using Twitter to replace PuchiBlurbs as it creates more connec...
Otaku GraduationIt doesn't surprise me if a person has to leave the otaku world to move onto more other important factors in their life, but I do agree that destroying his collection is a little excessive. Considering how much money was spent on such items, you can...
Tokyo Drive - RoppongiPersonally I prefer normal speed but display high speeds :)
Seeing you zigzag by parked cars and oncoming cars reminded me I had to do the same thing when I drove in Japan. Though I was more cautious for the fact that I was driving a hired RX-8 and...
7pm in Tokyo - Lumix LX3I don't take photos often since I'm either at home working, or at the office which has the same setting each day. Also carrying a camera around sort of gets annoying after a while even if it's a point and shoot, and the camera on the iPhone isn't exa...
Dolls PartySo envious of you. I want to attend a doll show once and I know it won't be as hectic as Comiket. Definitely would take my time there looking at what's available but also admire other people's dollfies.
Tokyo DriveIf I lived in Japan I'd be doing this kind of thing a lot. When I drove around the C1 and Wangan, I had hoped to record most of it except my passenger was asleep at the time. The streets of Tokyo at night is almost like a different city.
Doll FoodDoll sized food is good and all, but I'm looking for a teacup and saucer for my girl. Although my Erika is classy enough, nothing like her holding a teacup and saucer to complete the set.
Though now that I've seen what you can get at a doll event I...
Doll ShowI would say that it's because I have very little room left for figures, but most probably losing an interest in figures. During Japan I didn't purchase all that many figures and was more excited about getting my dollfie than anything else.
Doll ShowI'm not all that surprised at the price of the items at Doll Show. Dollfies as a hobby is a very expensive hobby and it's probably why I'm slowly fading away from buying figures now.
Jobs in TokyoIt's a shame that I'm more versed in ColdFusion than PHP. but I do have some experience in using PHP but only at a beginners level. Probably should get around to learning more about PHP and more Unix related items. Although I do meet some of those re...
Japan Outlet MallFrancFranc sounds almost just like Ikea. Also here in Australia, we have something similar to Cold Stone Creamery where it's called Cold Rock Ice Creamery.
Dollfie CasesHave you tried going to a Volks branch store to see if they have any in stock? I remember last time I walked into the store they had some on display but I couldn't tell if they were for sale or not. I really want one of those violin cases for my doll...
Working at Amazon and MicrosoftBeen waiting about this kind of article as working in a corporate company is something I want to at least experience in my career as a web developer. I'm sure I would learn a great deal if I was in one compared to being in the small company that I am...
Dollfie problemI plan to take my dollfie outside for photo shoots, but firstly I need to acquire a carry case just to make sure nothing happens to her.
A Week in Tokyo 31I know all about working in restaurants. My family used to own a Chinese restaurant so I've been working from a very young age and I have a pretty strong work ethic. I also worked in fast food outlets as well (like Burger King) and that taught me a l...
Dollfie Saber GetSponsors FTW. Also to let you know that this Saber also did come with extra clothes such as casual wear and a maid outfit. Though of course you'll be paying a bit to acquire them as they can be quite rare. You can see them here:

Shopping in JapanJust to answer a few questions that people have raised.
EMS Shipment was chosen due to the large quantity of goods I bought. Plus with EMS it's traceable and secure. What I did was simply mail off the boxes to my sister marked as gifts but with a va...
Mac FanAlthough I have a mac myself, I haven't actually used it in my line of work. Although CF is used on both Windows and Linux, its more Linux focused from the projects I have seen so far. Also a lot of tools I use in Windows aren't available for Mac, or...
MeishiI'll have to rethink how I do my next set of business cards as I prefer proper sized business cards instead of the ones I used with mini-cards from moo.com.
Japanese FestivalsGah, I was hoping to goto one of those summer matsuri but couldn't really find one around during August, or I had other things planned during those days. How do you find out about these matsuris?
