I live in Canada and rarely get to travel, even though I really want to see various places.
In my spare time I fansub, watch anime, and spend time with friends (not necessarily in that order ^_^)
Uploader Spam + BloggtiquetteI made a post this morning which has now been deleted. The news had been posted before, but was incomplete, and had no pictures. That is, new information came out *after* the original posting by someone else. Thus I submitted a news post with the sam...
Sushi ConveyorSeen a few of these videos - wonder if it will start becoming so common that they have to start putting up "Please do not put cameras on the sushi conveyor. Cameras are not sushi." signs.
Japan Drivers LicenseFairly easy here in Canada
At 14 you can get your "learner's license" = "drive with someone who has their full license until you are 16 and have had learner's for at least 1 year" <- 20 or 30 multiple choice questions. Answers can be found in a book...
Seijin ShikiHere we have high school graduation, which usually happens when people are 18 or are just about to turn 18. Here that is "SDV" age. Same thing as prom, I guess, but at "prom" (that is, in the US) the drinking age is 21 in many places, so maybe is a b...
7pm in Tokyo - New Years DayHere in Canada I experience this sort of thing fairly often... have been walking home a few blocks from a friend's house at midnight or so and had it be very quiet. Last night on my way home from a new year's party (driving home) there was a coyote o...
dannychoo.com in 2008I seem to recall you saying at some point you might put up video from your talks - was wondering if this is still forthcoming.
It's been a great year and I'm proud to say you've helped me grow and press forward through some tough times this year. No...
Oppai Mouse PadI don't use a mouse pad as my mouse works perfectly fine without - have wondered if getting one with padding for wrist support might be good though, as I think I have carpal tunnel or something.
Promax BDA AsiaDanny, looks like you put "Keith Reiss" but it is supposed to be "Mike Reiss" - unless they are two different people, in which case, my bad.
I've always enjoyed conferences. There's a website called TED.com that has a large collection of talks. I fi...
Singaporean FoodUgh, Danny! I'm so incredibly hungry right now, and of course you post a bunch of pictures of delicious-looking food.
So jealous. So jealous.
Japanese and LooksI personally think I'm not super attractive. I don't get girls swooning over me, etc.
Lots of girls *do* say I'm incredibly cute, but I think that's more in the "haha you're a geek and a loser and it's cute" than the "ooo he's cute" way.
I've had...
DSi ReviewDon't have a DS yet (bought one of the original PSPs when they were still pricy as hell and have regretted it ever since), and am thinking about getting a DSi. Not entirely sure, though. Supposed to be coming to North America by summer 2009 so we'll...
Japanese ChildrenHere you often see daycare groups with children tied (think like a harness around their torso) to a rope, being lead by an adult.
Seems kinda inhumane to me, and my mom is always like "I paid extra so you wouldn't have to go through stuff like that...
Figure and CameraOn the screen you can see the previous image, in which you can see an even further previous image, showing the screen where I can't make out if you can see an additional previous image!
:O
Dark SaintNeat figure, but I wouldn't pay that much for it.
The wallpaper tool... Yes, I would look through there every few months to see if there was anything. My resolution is 1920x1200 though so with a lot of space to work with I sometimes like things from...
Tokyo Rock TrooperJust read the part about uploading these in higher resolution. That'd definitely be cool, as many of the backdrops in these videos look like they'd be really nice in higher-than-youtube quality.
DS New Model 2008Yeah, my PSP sits around collecting dust now... used it for games (Lumines, GTA) for a bit, but then didn't see any compelling games... would've liked some PS1 or PS2 ports because I had heard awesome things about those games but didn't have a PS. Th...
Queens Gate AliceVery nice photos indeed. Makes me wish I had some figures... maybe if/when I start getting money from my various websites that so far barely break even...
Very pretty figures. All of them.
Graduations in JapanHere in Canada we had a sort of celebration after elementary school (might have got a certificate, can't remember), after junior high (got a certificate saying I got honors blah blah blah), and definitely after high school (it's a really big deal). I...
Japanese FestivalsWe have some festivals here, but they seem to be few and far between (summer is fairly short so there's not much time to have these sorts of things). Wish there was something like this around even once a month though - I'd make a point of going.
New Article Detail PageLooks really good, though I can't help but feel that all the space to the right of images is "wasted." That said, you can't please everyone, and you said people like the current image sizes.
Good work ^_^
What brought you to Danny ChooI got linked to either a pic or an article by someone, and looked around the site a bit. Wasn't sure what to think as it was a lot to take in, but I came back a few days later and have been checking the site almost every day since then (about a year...
Big Japanese EyesI don't like big eyes really.
I find my eyes wandering sometimes... some days it will be like almost non-stop, and I'm sure I must creep out some of my (girl) friends, and some days it's like not at all.
Usually though, if there is some cleavage...
Your Precious BackupsIndeed, I recently had a drive failure in a server at an office, and even though the harddrive was <100gb (was a SCSI) and I had made regular optical backups, it still was a pain to get everything restored and working again. Looking into upgrading th...
Your Precious BackupsI've had several Maxtors run for 4+ years without a single problem. Very seldom are companies consistently making bad products...
Harddrives have moving parts and thus are extremely prone to failure. Perhaps having multiple drives fail also prompte...
