I wish I could go. But I won't be in Japan until September 23rd, and returning State-side on November 1st. Next year, maybe, I'll be able to attend one. :)
What would be the fastest way to get from Narita Airport to Haneda Airport? When my girlfriend & I come to Japan in September, I have 5 hours from when we arrive in Narita Airport to get to Haneda Airport to catch our flight to Kagoshima.
I saw The Empire Strikes Back first in theaters, and then the original Star Wars on a Drive-In screen. After that, then I saw Return of the Jedi in theaters, and since then, those have been my favorites. RotJ is still painful to watch, the acting was...
Welcome to the light. :) My first computer was a Commodore VIC=20 with a Datasette drive, though originally I used a couple old Commodore PETs in my elementary school. After the VIC=20, I had a Commodore 64, then a 64C, which I used for at least 12 y...
I remember the same thing happening back in the 80's when parents and the media blamed Dungeons & Dragons for why kids became violent. Same thing happened with Heavy Metal Music, TV Shows, Cartoons, and more. Scapegoats, all of them. I think the real...
I agree that smoking in restaurants should be banned, but not in bars or Pachinko parlors. I think some bars should offer smoke free environs by choice, not by force. The smoking ban here in New York state had caused major problems, especially with b...
I first watched Anime in the form of Star Blazers, (Space Battleship Yamato) about 26 or 27 years ago. It may have been longer than that, but I can't remember for sure. I only remember drawing pictures of the Yamato when I was a kid. I wish I still h...
Danny, Awesome Awesome videos. I believe you can still put iMovie HD on your Mac if you have the iLife install discs, btw. I recommend Final Cut Express though if you want to have more control in your video editing. I'm working with Final Cut Pro and...
Book-Off is AWESOME! We went to a Book-Off in Sanda and I wound up buying 4 Manga and a Returner photo magazine for about ¥550. I was impressed, and the people I stayed with were kind of surprised we have so many second hand stores here in the US whe...
I never visited Akiba when I was in Japan last year. (*sigh*...last year? It was only 3 months ago!) But on our next visit, I plan on Spending a week in Tokyo. My Dad was Stationed in Japan between 1954-1956 and took lots of photos. I've been scannin...
I don't have any (known) illnesses, so I can't make any claims to that fact. (Unless a chronic obsession with collecting Transformers toys can be called an illness. Plastic Crack Addiction? Diecast-osis?) A couple friends of mine however do have prob...
The MacBook Air looks absolutely stunning. I would love to have one and I can really see it's usefulness for people who have a main computer/Mac at home, but need something light and compact for travel. The lack of an Optical Drive and firewire ports...
"in america everyone recycles every house gets a recycling bin for collection thats collected every 2 weeks, we also get a bonus for recycling too or something like that and a federal tax deduction"
This is entirely false. My parents live in a rural...
I sit no matter what. It's much easier to read the newspaper or latest figure magazine that way. ;-) Besides, whether you sit or stand to pee, as long as men can still write their name in the snow, who cares?
This looks so bad, I have to see it. MT3K material if nothing else. My god, the cheese factor is off the Green Bay Scale.
Yakuza!
Ninjas!
Tempura!
Sounds like it's got most of Hollywood's craptastic features beat already!
I gotta tell you, I slept on a futon when I was in Japan in October for a couple weeks. It was MORE comfortable than my bed here at home, and I felt better after sleeping on it. It was wonderful! I can't sleep comfortably on my bed now. I want a futo...
@BeLe: A futon is like this...

When I visited Japan between Oct 9th and Oct 23rd, I slept on a Futon. I agree 100%. It was MUCH more comfortable sleeping on a Futon on the floor, than sleeping in my bed. I really enjoyed it a I slept very well.
I stayed in Sasayama and saw this s...
Mac User going on 7 years now. I used to be a die-hard PC user, and I work as an ISP support tech, so Windows is my income (or rather, Windows problems are). But I recommend Macs to anyone who asks, and I now own about 6 of them. It's simply quite am...

Considering how large portions are here in the states, I'd say smaller portions would be a good thing. *pats belly* Larger portions encourages you to eat more than you really should. ;-)

Considering my daughter and I will be coming to Japan for the first time in October, this is a good article for me to read. Thanks for the heads up, Danny.
