Candy Boy GiveawayI found DC purely by accident doing a random google on some topic I can't recall. I think it was figures that caught my attention.
I get the RSS feed so am reading DC every day. I mainly like the figure related content, and the Japan culture, life...
Portion Sizes in JapanWatch out that your high metabolism doesn't just stop. Mine did when I was 29. I used to eat whatever I wanted before then, but now I have to watch my food intake.
Portion Sizes in JapanDine out meals are just way too big here, and probably most western countries. I find myself ordering entree's or kids meals instead of from the main menu.
Looks like the Japanese have got it right.
A Day in Tokyo 6The seat height on your bike should be set such that when your pedal is at the bottom of the stroke, your leg is very slightly bent. The handlebars can then be set at a height that is comfortable for you, usually higher is more comfy.
A Day in Tokyo 6Yeah I love this feature on the LX3. So long as you know which is a white surface. I usually get the lens nice and close to the white object so that it fills the screen.
Cycling in TokyoBasically you can go faster and the bumps are smoothed out with bigger wheels. My bike has 700's (27" rims). Don't get suckered into upgrading to a bike with shock absorbers on the front and/or rear as they're not needed for road riding, and those f...
Ecommerce PlatformSorry for double post, but wanted to mention I get most of my figures from HLJ since I can ship by SAL instead of EMS. A points system like Hobby Search would sweeten the deal though :)
Ecommerce PlatformIt would be really good to be able to pre-order stuff released in different months and have them shipped together to save on shipping. I'd even pre-pay for the privelege. Maybe have a 2 month time limit so that if say I wanted something from Novemb...
F*ck AnimeThe mound of "parts" in the picture reminds me of the opening of Battle Angel Alita. I'll have to watch it again soon..
It's a shame those people on that forum can't put their passion into something worthwhile. They don't know what they're missing...
A Week in Tokyo 45No spare computers here, just my iMac.
We have lots of international food in Brisbane, particularly Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Indian.
Bicycles here are mostly ridden on the road and on dedicated bikeways where possible, but you are allowed to ride o...
Mirai GaiaCould be worth a try. If the trusted members are flagging unnecessarily then Danny would be able to manage that more easily than not having the system in place.
Another option would be to tighten up the categories of member news items that can be p...
Mirai GaiaAt the end of the day, this is Danny's blog. Perhaps member posts can be screened, or even deleted if deemed of poor quality (feedback in this case would be helpful).
Perhaps the simplest way is to limit it to longer term members who have made a ce...
Snow Leopard JapanWill get Snow Leopard, but will wait a month or so to see if there are any issues. The reported speed increase is probably the biggest buy factor.
Figma RepairI received my 2nd figma yesterday (Fighting waitress Mikuru), and I was getting very nervous putting her together and swapping hands over. The fittings seemed so much tighter than they are on my figma Kanu.
I tend not to carry them around much or c...
20090602 Giveaway - Alter SignumWell I'm not the first with my answer, so here's why I chose. "Is in the post" refers to the original Angels and Demons post, and "is looking at me" is if you were in the cinema looking at Danny where was he when he took the photo in the cinema. Gee...
A Day in Tokyo 3Occasional car reviews would be great as Japan have a lot of interesting local cars we never see overseas. And the awesome GTR of course.
Re your question on manual or auto, I like auto too. I also learnt manual, but my current car is an auto Lega...
