Ecommerce PlatformDanny, how would you address back-orders on the same platform?
I have to agree with the "pay in advance to combine orders" option, to let the buyer save on shipping costs. Paypal, though... YMMV.
Japan Train ServiceIt is sad that a mini-region (Hong Kong) (which, by the way, was where I came from) has a better and more extensive subway service than the largest city/metropolitan area in Canada. Did I forget to mention that, in HK, you can do long-distance calls...
Japan Train ServiceAs much as 1/3, close to 1/2, of the mass transit here in Toronto is on old rolling stock. Also, the trains usually arrive a minute or two behind posted schedules - not a big problem, but annoying.
The city has to get permission from the locals to a...
Tokyo EarthquakeOut of that 2ch list, false teeth (dentures) and bicycles are legitimate things to grab in a emergency. The other things on that list, ugh.

Can't believe I was 4GB off -_-
Japanese Viking MealsBuffets here don't make money - I think the failure rate on this line of business is higher than other restaurant types. Haven't been to one for the past few months, partly because it's expensive - it's possible to get two meals for about the same en...
20090910 Giveaway - Kagamiku[32GB]
Notice the (6) visible on the frontmost card - that tells you it's not regular SD cards as they typically top out at 2GB. SDHC cards usually start in capacities of 4GB and above.
Member NewsHonestly, if it's too NSF* for everyone else to see, just don't upload/post it. Use some common sense. Stuff like "hey check out my livejournal" only makes me want to avoid clicking on them more.
ObonSeems like this month is bad to do any traveling to Japan.
Earthquake near Shizoku a few days ago.
Now Obon.
I'm planning to come here next year but don't know if I should be here during sakura blossoms or around Oct/Nov like last year's.
MotsuyakiI suppose grilled organs look equally as gruesome boiled? Some of the stuff in a regular noodle bowl with beef internal delicacies would make you throw up ^^
Danny Choo Nikon CommercialVery nice CM! I likey.
As for the camera brands, I'm in the consumer part and don't really care which one it is, as long as it works.
Japan Car ParkingA lot of people here would have difficulty maneuvering their cars into such "parking" spots. How I wanted a Smart ForTwo simply due to size considerations.
As for car navigation systems, a brain and some logic beats electronics any day. Here in Toro...
Tokyo MansionThe most shocking part about this "home" is that I'd so totally go live there. The size of this apartment would be the least of my worries.
Sakuya KudanWhen the words "Yasukuni Shrine" some people immediately go into convulsion and spew anti-Japanese rhetoric. That aside... oh noooo I wouldn't use these garbage bags at all - I'd go to sleep with them!
iPod Small TalkI had the first-gen Shuffle. No screens suck, but knowing what songs are loaded in it I could care less; just pressing Next a few times until it gets to the song I want to listen usually does the trick. I can't say the same if there's more than half...
iPod Small TalkSome buttons are better than having no buttons, especially when you have to reset the thing. Also, people would wonder what the heck you're talking about when you mumble "next song" while listening to your new iPod Shuffle.
Amazon UK Sells ErogeThanks, UK MPs. I'm going to buy me some Rapelay next.
Seriously, this is not any worse than Grand Theft Auto and a thousand other shoot-em-up games that encourage violence.
7pm in Tokyo - OdaibaWas there two months ago on vacation, mostly spent at Palette Town and the Onsen. Given a choice I'd have stayed at the Onsen for a week.
