Japan Optic Fiber InternetDanny, if you connect using wireless, and then ethernet, id think you should be able to access both networks. (wireless to the 2nd fiber line, ethernet to the original)
Not 100% sure, because ive never tried it out, bit it might work to access the m...
Tokyo Photo Walk 3Interesting article.
Are you using mainly your P&S for these night shots? Or still using your slr? Cause they come out pretty well for a p&s. I guess you bump up the iso, and do some post work on them.
SLR RecommendationsYea I'd say spend the money on a 40D or 50D. It's a better camera then the consumer versions. 40D if you're on a budget, 50D if you have the money. I just got a 40D a before they announced the 50D, and I kind of regret it, but the 40D does everything...
A Day at Good SmileIt's usually the lighting guys around here who wear the hawaiin shirts.
And I gotta say the mixer seems overly dressed for work. Funky hat and everything ;p
Japanese AdultYea we went into one while we were there, and it really was an experience. They even have tvs playing the videos so you can get an idea of whats on the dvd.
Didn't end up buying anything, but yea it was an experience nonetheless.
Akihabara HaulYea I had opened most of the gundams and stuff I bought in akiba, but I still put them back in their boxes and everything for when I came home.
Its good to see all the boxes and stuff that I brought back from japan, brings back good memories ;p
A Week in Tokyo 20Curry Fair! I think I know what time of year I want to go back to Japan again in ;p
Thats the one thing I miss the most, is the curry. All the tonkatsu over here is like 3mm thick, dry, and without curry. Really sucks.
iPhone JapanI gotta say, a lot of japanese phones look alike, and like someone else said, theres so many clamshells. But I'd rather get an iphone, dont really like the look of the japanese ones (although the features are great)
And I guess thats the latest acti...
Tokyo Photo Walk 1Gorillapods are really cool. Its kinda like a tripod, except it can wrap around things. Like a pole, or a bench, or pretty much anything. Check them out at http://www.joby.com/ , theyre pretty neat and cheap.
Tokyo Photo Walk 1Yea, theres always ways to photoshop things but all you need to do to make HDR is just bracket +2 and -2 exposure, along with the original photo. Then just run it through a photoshop plugin, and you get the results.
But long exposures still look pre...
Tokyo Photo Walk 1Long exposure pictures always look really good, and these are some nice shots.
You might want to look into HDR photos danny, they come out really crazy, and theyre pretty easy to do. All you need is a tripod. Would look really good in tokyo.
For ne...
Haruka Bikini VerOnly bug I've had for a while is not seeing new paragraphs in Firefox 2.
Kinda hard to explain, but it will show line breaks, but if you press enter twice after a line, you dont see that extra space that the 2nd enter would normally give.
Been like...
Xacti CA65Yea, the xacti line always seems nice, because you can just throw it in a bag, and have a video camera.
Though are they HD in the new generations? The screens aspect ratio looks a bit wonky, though it could just be the picture. But having a waterpro...
May 2008 StatsCongrats Danny, looks like the stats just keep going up and up!
I found the site from Roy over at q-taro, though hes gone back on hiatus, so I miss his posts.
And heh@the copyleft, never noticed it before. All wrongs reserved, heh
Country PercentagesYea, I figured there would be a lot of canadians, always see a bunch.
And I tend to check at night (local time), cause thats when you tend to post things and reply(JST time)
Good Smile Warehouse!! is this a glimpse of more gunpla coverage?? heh
I don't really have the space for figures, and my parents would think im weird if they saw me with what theyd call "dolls", lol
Tokyo HousingIn Canada, most of the run down places would be within the big cities, or if the areas been around for a while.
I'd say a lot of Canada is suburbs, which were made recently, past 30 years or so, so if you're in the suburbs, it'll be nice, downtown,...
Moe CurryJapanese curry is amazing. Tonkatsu curry is probably my favorite, though its even good by itself with rice. Though the packaged stuff here isn't amazing, it can still fill the craving for it.
Portable CasesI usually buy the silicone cases, because they don't damage the gadget at all, and they make it feel nicer.
But I got a hard case on my MBP, and when I take it off it looks brand new, makes it seem like I get a new mac whenever I take it off.
Mac Life 3Oh nice, you can use enter now, and make new paragraphs, finally :D
And the external drive cases you got are really nice, makes me wanna get matching equipment and stuff too ;p
Mac Life 3My motherboard died on my MBP too, I had no video on the screen, but it still booted up in OSX fine. Apple replaced the motherboard, and my DVD drive too, all for free. 1200$ for parts, replaced for free = happy me.
I'll probably end up getting Appl...
Latest Site UpdatesOh wow, the new comment box is really nice.
And I'm happy that you included the snapshots into the site, they make browsing a lot easier, and you dont ever have to leave the site now.
Only thing, are you moving to a new colour scheme/layout?
Caus...
Figma CMIt is a waveform monitor (with vectorscope as well).
They're similar to oscilloscopes, but used specifically for video calibration, and not looking at general electric signals.
Figma CMHey Danny, that interesting device you're talking about is called a Waveform Monitor (and it looks like it has a vectorscope built in too).
You use em to make sure that the brightness and black levels are set properly, and also to make sure that the...
Gyan GirlYes, it has been 5 years :<
I've been waiting for more gundam posts for so long.
Is this the start of more posts about gundams like the good old days? :3
BerlinThere are different types of graffiti, and just tags arn't that great to look at. But graffiti art is really creative, and sometimes you gotta wonder how they go to those places to do it.
Manyo ClubYea I always wanted to go to an onsen, and we went to one in Tokyo when we were there. Kinda hard to find, but it was pretty nice.
Though it really is an awkward experience to see tons of naked men. And then you gotta get naked too, lol.
But the b...
A Week in Tokyo 11You actually got a seat by the window in the starbucks in shibuya?!
always super busy whenever i went by.
And as much as I like mos burger, theyre way too tiny. If they made them bigger it would be a lot nicer.
And other then my mac crashing for...
