A Journey to the Levant
The Japanese band Wagamama College (わがままカレッジ) has a very nice promotion concept.
Based on their Song , 可愛い子はだいたい彼氏がいる (Cute Girls usually have boyfriends), they opened an instagram page , singing their song and a cute girl tells them if she has boyfriend or not. Actually, it seems that most girls don’t have boyfriends.
Yep, had 30 minutes last night to take some photos:
I smell trouble.
According to Macrumors , TSMC manufactured A9 consumes less power than Samsung’s A9.
Very surprising as I would have expected Apple to figure it out before going to manufacturing, so either:
I don’t own an iPhone 6s yet, but I would definitely prefer the TSMC A9.
As an amateur photographer, I am always concerned about alignment. Of my photo subject, of the surroundings. Many times (and I blame my glasses) I am not happy with the photo and edit it later with Lightroom.
As I was reading a technical article on hpcwire, I found myself spending more time looking at the marketing photo than the article. How come the Server is not straight? Is it on purpose? Were they trying to highlight something ? Or is it just a bad marketing material?
Judge for yourself
Finally, Netflix has started their services in Japan.
From first browse, Hulu still have more contents, but I prefer Netflix and their original productions.
Have a month to experience both and decide.
Singapore Start-up scene is growing, with more VCs and more successes.
The following is a very nice review of the current status:
What should I write?
That there is a website and TV commercial to promote products from Fukushima.
That I could not find any reference to actual radiation measurements of the products, yet the website mentions it is safe.
Would like to see Fukushima restored and brought back to life, but would also like to see how it is done responsibly.
Cyber Agent’s Ameba Blogging platform was known for their “Ameba” icon.
Make sense, Ameba Blog, Ameba Icon. When visiting Cyber Agent I already received “Ameba Water”.
Updating the iPhone application this morning I found out that the logo has changed. Still green, no longer an Ameba.
I kind of miss the Ameba
Or rather a strange experience I had in the train yesterday.
Took the Yamanote line and as always put my bag on the luggage rack (網棚). Train was not busy, but different, as there were more women with children than the standard crowd. No doubt, the effect of Obon vacation.
Then, a 20 something woman appeared from behind, grabbed the ring (つり輪）I was holding and pushed me aside. Did not say a word, stared at my eyes and bowed. Push, stare, bow. Push, stare, bow.
Short pants, tiny shirt which shows her navel. Long brown hair in pony tale. Japanese? not sure.
As she was not talking, I decided to do the same. Move aside, stare, say nothing.
People around me were not sure what they were watching, and so do I. At least I know that I do not know her, but the people around me may had other thoughts.
Getting off at my station I was concerned if she will continue and follow me. Already planned to which police station to go and what to say to the cops, but luckily she did not follow me.
She did get out at the station, looking around a bit lost and then I lost sight of her.
Hope she is well, I am a bit shaken.
