While waiting for meema, I was able to do a brief photowalk at the Sunshine 60 road in Ikebukuro (street view). It was full of people and of hard-working placard-carrying japanese trying to coax people into buying bargains, donating blood or going inside a manga kissa.
Does anyone know if the japanese have a particular term/word for these people?

Saudi Telecom’s Wireless Route/Vase
I like it. I’m sure everyone can relate on how routers, network drives and all those AC adapters are hard to place in the house. Wake up call to manufacturers!

Font Park. Play with fonts, drag glyphs around, transform, combine, make pictographs. (Having worked on a project that requires layouting text, subsetting and embedding fonts, I have come to love(and hate) fonts and typography.)
Wow. A whole month since my last update.
It’s the usual excuse. Yadda. yadda. I was busy. It was worth it. Now I’m back to trying to go back to blogging.
I was leafing thru my unread items in Google reader and realized two things
Case in point:Jeff Atwood’s My Software is Being Pirated post. I read through the entire thing and lazily agreed with most of what was written, including:
In fact, the most effective anti-piracy software development strategy is the simplest one of all:
- Have a great freaking product.
- Charge a fair price for it.
That is, until I came across Dave Obasanjo’s reply to that post, where he notes:
..Jeff’s recommendation for an effective anti-piracy solution is actually contradicted by the example game from his post; World of Goo. The game is an excellent product and is available for ~$15 yet it is still seeing a 90% piracy rate.
If I had paid even the slightest amount of attention, I would have noticed this. I should be learning, analyzing and gaining perspective. Instead, I plowed throught the items to “clear the inbox”.
Time to whittle down.
Had a quick breakfast at McDo this morning while waiting for a friend’s bus to arrive (6:45 am). A bite into a hot hash brown feels divine on a cold cold autumn(winter-ish) morning.
This guy will never probably know someone took a photo of him today. I’m probably in several pictures somewhere out in the internets. I wonder how long before we can have a useful media search tool.

OK OK. I need to study and I’m just procrastinating.
