一日の東京 2

今日ドイツの大使館で撮った写真だ。CScoutの皆さんです。

今朝はTokyo Mangoのリサさんとインタービュー。

現在はアメリカの大手サイトBoing Boingでゲストブロガーやっています。あのサイトは一日数百万人が読んでいると言われている。僕が記事をアップしてから、そのサイトからのトラフィックがもの凄く多くて、イメージサーバーがダウン。さくらねっとのサーバー使ってみたのだが、全くだめだった。何回も落ちた。さくらねっとはよくここまで商売してきたのね。
という事で、今日は一日中仮のイメージサーバーをセットアップしたりしていました。

イギリス大使館にいた時にかがみんを連れて行った。もちろん今回も。なんだか、かがみんはこうゆうのに似合うんですな。
このサイトは元JALのエンジニア、アマゾンのウェブサイトマネージャー、マイクロソフトのプロダクトマネージャーそして現在MIRAI株式会社の社長ダニー・チューが書いているブログです。詳しくは彼のプロフィールでどうぞ。
いつも読んで頂いている方はこの挨拶を永遠に閉じよう^^;

Why do I have this image of Danny riding that UFO scooter thingy... lol

That shin-chan scooter type with dude wearing women's pantyhose on his head?
I can totally relate to why you're imagining that.

Awesome Danny, conquering the world one embassy at a time!! How did the German Embassy people react to Kagami?
On the breakfast note I often try not to skip breakfast cause I would get too hungry in class and I wouldn't be able to concentrate very well. But sometimes I have to cause I'm studying or I'm running late. When in say summer break or winter and I'm at home I would skip breakfast often because I'm too caught up in playing games or watching anime ^^; .

Difficult to organize meishi. I reply to as many as I can and when they reply the name goes into my address book automatically. I can then export my address book to LinkedIn and manage my business contacts online.

No breakfast for me. I eat lunch sometimes and dinner all the time :)
If a day in Tokyo came out everyday, I would vote for that;b Otherwise, a week in Tokyo so we can get a feel for how your days flow from one to the other.

Me prefers Week in Tokyo desu. Not sure if I got the time to read them of they were daily. Week in Tokyo would be nice if in weekends ^^
Me has to try traditional Japanese breakfast - didn't know they come with Kagamin figma.. yummy.
I'll be having mine in shortly 5 hours. I need to sleep ^^;

Week in Tokyo is good. I mean talking what was done within a week is much better since it contains more material/stuff to talk about.
a guy who cares (sort of...)
I can't start functioning properly without breakfast. Morning without it is a bad morning ^^.
Just wondering, Danny, while I can understand you blurring names and addresses out of business cards due to privacy, is there really a need to conceal the address of the German Embassy in Tokyo? (Which I've googled to be at Minato-ku, Minami Azabu 4-5-10 / 東京都港区南麻布4-5-10) Or is the guy's unique office address in that said card?

Answers to your questions:
Skip breakfast: sort of. Mostly I do with just coffee and a slice of toast.
Nodame Cantabile: No 3rd season. I liked the second season, but it was extremely short. Overall though, the second season didn't the high marks like the first.
Car: no idea.
Thanks for sharing again.

The 3rd season has been announced, I believe, but since the second season only just finished it'll probably be some time before it airs. It's on MyAnimeList.
I agree, though, that the second season was less epic than the excellent first season. It had less than half the episodes, though, so things like the build-up of the orchestra and Chiaki's conducting skills wouldn't fit into that time frame. No big concerts, either. A shame, really :<
Still, it was well worth watching.

there is a 3rd season of nodame slated for fall 2009 (よかった). great series to watch with the girlfriend :)

I previously used to just eat a bit of yoghurt for breakfast which lead to me starving to death after but a few hours at work. Nowadays I have a few slices of toast with jam or other topping which is a tad more nutritious and lasts me longer.
Car interior definitely looks like a Porsche's, but couldn't have told you the model/year like Inkmaster did, hats off to him.

No third season for Nodame, and second season didn't focus on the music as much in my opinion. Having a day in Tokyo might be difficult to continue for a long time.

week in Tokyo series, with occasional bursts of photos from fantastic days like this one.
sounded awesome, quick question at events like this do you use your British, or Japanese to communicate? I assume there were some interpreters since this was the German embassy.

I say mix the day and the week ones up once in a while. If you have a particularly interesting day it never hurts to share ^^

Week in Tokyo is nice, because after a small while goes by, there is lots of things to read about and see. ^_^ Oh, and you are right Danny, there is something about Kagami that looks great with silverware...hmm.

The food looked great at the Embassy. Kagami didn't get a happy meal at Mc Dees! I wonder what they would do if you did pop out Aoi-chan instead of the small Kagami on them some time?

I seldom eat breakfast up until now and when I came to Japan, it's like breakfast didn't exist in my daily food anymore because when I was about to go to school, It's already lunch time. ^^;;

FREETER
There are few things greater than free food that is also amazing.
I enjoy your weekly format more, but I could see it being easier and alot less time intensive for you to do more frequent, daily quips. like if you saw or did something that made you really excited, and you really wanted to talk about it, you could post it up immediately instead of waiting for a big collection post.
all in all the end decision is yours. you lead a pretty hectic life, so I think you should choose something which you can still do comfortably without putting yourself back too much :3

Wow, Danny is all over the place now isn't he. The scope of his influence just keeps increasing.
I usually skip breakfast, but a lot of times I'll grab a nutrition bar of some kind and an iced coffee from the fridge and have that while I travel in the morning.

I think Danny your Week in Tokyo is much better both for you and the readers. It won't take so much of your time and you can devote more of your time for Mirai, Inc. and besides having a "Day in Tokyo" articles can easily get boring overtime ^^;;;

i dont skip breakfest too often. I do seem to skip on class days though, usually because I would rather sleep another 30 minutes.
now if Danny is the prince of akihabara, I wonder if we might someday catch a storm trooper in the background in akihabara scene in an anime. (like maybe Nogizaka Haruka )

Skipping the breakfast? No way. It sucks to sit in (boring) lectures and you feel how you get hungrier and hungrier and so much time until lunch.
"Week in Tokyo" is alright.

About your last question, I'd prefer "A Week in Tokyo" articles despite reading them less frequently.
Well, in the end, you will talk about more or less about the same things so it's only a matter of waiting more or less time :3
