Funny ads in TokyoI have always found that poster so… funny? I live next to a park so they have plenty of the sorts to tell kids, basically, that all gentle adults are so because they intend harm or so. Or that is what I tell my Japanese friends they read like, and th...
Windows 7 JapanWell, there is the hidden pref for X-Ray folders. Not a replacement at all to what you want, for does not hurt either (useless eyecandy, if you ask me, but still cool; definitely does not help productivity)… http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...
Windows 7 JapanNot the answer to all your wishes, but Shift+Command+G (or menu Go > Go to folder…) will give you a text field where you can manually type the address of a local folder.
Windows 7 Japan> in Windows I get a thumbnailed preview of whats inside a folder
Danny, for Mac OS X, check this out: http://hasseg.org/imageFolderQLGenerator/
Nah, have not tried it. You will be our Guinea pig :-P
And no, I have not gone through >100 to see if...
KarasEr… one question I should know the answer to, but don't.
We (my company's art team) made a [Karas comic book][1] for Dark Horse Comics that was included in one of the two DVDs published in the USA. I guess not but, was that bundled also in Japan?...
MacBook Pro 17"Mmm… I would call it bad luck.
My iMac G5 is already… 4-5 years? up and runnning like a champ.
At the office we have somewhere around 35 Macs of all kinds and none of them has needed any trip to service repair for about 3-4 years (admittedly one -o...
Tokyo OfficeProbably meant Adobe Lightroom (well, Adobe marketing insists on calling it Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, but no one else does).
I think both are quite similar, both UI and feature wise. I find Lightroom more easy to approach, but that is of course, be...
Japanese Taxi Drivers「最近元気がなくてね…おすすめのポースを見せてもらいませんか？」
Hahahaha! "Not feeling too genki lately… Would you pose for me (so that I get genki)?". Now, you choose from the different meanings for 元気… Peter Payne had an article about that at ht...
Nanami SakurabaNot true. To link to a related example, kirainet.com's embedded youtube videos (like one on 2009-2-26: http://www.kirainet.com/habilidades-especiales-con-nunchakus) do appear in his rss, at least using Google Reader.
Nanami SakurabaDanny, are you aware that linked youtube video clips (maybe other sources too, I do not know) do not come up in your RSS? Not even a placeholder.
Mac Life 4Danny, we need comment editing…
What I meant by "my experience has been the same in a 30 Macs office", I meant the same to the experience with my main computer, i.e. 1 or 2 kernel panics a year. When I was there, people would come panicking just as...
Mac Life 4Kernel panics a couple of times a month!? I would right away your machine is faulty (RAM, video chip or whatever) except that you have so many of them and so I assume you mean it is not always the same machine. But my experience has been the same in...
Japanese High SchoolThat was really cool. Not many occasions to see the real deal, without some paranoid start flaming and throwing ill-conceived accusations.
Curiosity is healthy and unbiased testimonies like this are great! Thanks akitaTom!
UI UpdatesHey Danny, another non-relevant opinion by an exclusively-RSS reader.
It is your home, so of course you to choose the color of the tiger carpet. But heck… Where is the content? Your content, I mean? I sure know your point is bringing CGM to the cen...
Sushi ConveyorHa! "A client must have forgotten it…" says a cook.
Only in JP you would get it back, and still I could never do this… always too afraid of offending someone by filming/photographing so close without permission.
No Foreigners Or PetsMay I add <a href=http://rmcafe.net>Room Mate Cafe</a> for folks that want to *share* with Japanese (since, the site being 100% JA, does not usually end up in gaijin's search results).
My Boing on Yahoo Top Page1-2 a day is the right number for me. 1st being main, 2nd just a appetizer is fine too. More is a bit too much. Thumbnails instead of full-sized images on feeds sucks, if I may say :-P
Making of the Mirai SeifukuIf we talk about fans of front ladies' front busts, I am at the front of the queue. But I actually like it better with the tanktop (opposed to those previous pictures by Danny's of a pair of tropical fruits about to pop out).
With school uniforms, I...
Street Fighter IVChun-Li, even if sexier than ever, turned out also a pretty weak character in SFIV. Unless it is only for delighting your eyes with some smooth thighs, you will want to skip her this time if you pretend to kick any ass.
High end compact cameraOh, and call me a snob, but I woud recommend neither if only because of the lack of automatic blades to cover the lens, using a cap you have to put on/off by hand instead. I have an LX2 and HATE the cap.
High end compact cameraThe Sigma DP1 has a huge sensor and great lens but, are you willing to go with a fixed 28mm (in 35mm equiv)? (i.e. no zoom whatsoever). Rocks for wide shots (landscapes?), which you do not seem to shoot that many (or at least we do not see them). If...
High end compact cameraLeica D-Lux 4 = Panasonic LX3. Same camera, completely different price. Both built by Panasonic. The only difference is in JPEG processing (i.e. raw's come out the same). If you doubt between both get the Panasonic (unless you like to impress with a...
iPhone TVNah, the main problem IMHO is not it lacks features. It just is not adding any compelling one to Japanese users (for non-JP ones being internet and e-mail). It is not that they dislike it. They simply do not care enough.
Japanese FestivalsMay I add a shameless link to my Flickr set of pictures of Japanese festivals?

Special emphasis on how übercool Yosakoi is.
A Week in Tokyo 20No, I mean Alien Registration Card. The visa gets you in the country, but then you'll have to register to get your ID card, stating, amng others, your address in Japan
A Week in Tokyo 20Mmmm… Are you sure about that? I do not think you can use anything that is not on your Alien Registration Card (i.e romaji or katakana if you have a western name).
18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OSThere is one Tamron going from 18-250 mm which is purportedly decent. I do not know what mounts for, though (I do know they have it for Pentax at least).
