In Japan, there is a superstition that you can live healthy and longer by eating soba at the end of year.
This has been believed since mid times of the Edo era (around the year 1700).
And it is called "Toshikoshi soba".
I visited Korean Bike Show 2007 at COEX in Samsung.
Less hot than Bike Exibition in Japan... And there is almost no fixed scene in Korea...
Korea is so cold. Streets in Korea are not paved well, rough roads made my feet very tired...
I spent so much time for wandering along the street.
We went to the center of seoul city by Korean metro.
Most of maps and signs was in only hangul, not kind for foreigners... even station staff... But, people of the Salvation Army helped me to look for the place. Prejudice about the Salvation Army was eraced at that time.
One of maestros in dance music finished 3 mix CDs, titled "MASTERPIECE".
Disc1 is minimal and dubby side, Disc2 is more aggressive set and stimulates your sense. And Disc3 is based on 80's acid sounds.
Old and new tracks of dance music are cooked by the hand of maestro, Francois Kevorkian. This is kind of epitaph in dance music history.
Last week end, I visited Korea for the first time.
It is good to experience time and place I have not visited before, but Korea was...
At last, I recieved MASH DVD...
I wondered if I had better to buy on other online store or bike shop, but Gave Morford did not forget about it.
He sent it with lots of sticker.
I enjoyed the movie while my trip to Korea.
I just started PC DJ.
Yes, I know it is so late to start, but I needed to wait that PC DJ software and hardware got enough specs to do enough performance.
I chose Native Instrument's software "Traktor" because there is a variety of gears that supports Traktor and this software has qualified functions to play like a analog DJ or more than that.
How much electricity can be generated by 5 street fixie riders?
I tried a new fixed gear on a pond in Inokashira Park Kichijoji Tokyo.
I asked a question about HHK (Happy Hacking Keyboard) on Leopard to PFU.
Then they replied like, "Leopard registers a keymap which is detected first when various keymaps exist on a Mac. They reported it to Apple, but not been fixed it yet."
Web designers suffer from analyzing HTML codes on various browsers so often. And some client wants to see web pages on Windows Internet Exploere 5.x.
To solve this problem, you have to setup several PCs or Hard Disks and install multiple version of OS. Or if you think smarter way, you use virtual machine like VMware.
If you are/were Club DJ, the movie "It's all gone PETE TONG" makes you feel frightened and sympathy with the person "Frankie Wilde".
This movie is the story about a Club DJ "Frankie Wilde". He is the most famous Club DJ in IBIZA and he loses his hearing. It depressed him and his life became rotten.
One day, he knew a woman who was deaf and teached rip reading. He is getting ability of rip reading and feeling more than hearing. Then he started making music again without hearing. A song he made hit club charts and he came back at DJ Booth as DJ Frankie Wilde...
Cooling fans of my MacBook Pro stopped and I took it apart again...
CRCed (Japanese famous lubricating oil KURE CRC 5-56) fans runs smoothly again.
I was looking for Sugino 75 Chainring PCD144 44T Black. But I can't find it.
So, I colored it black...
If you have bunch of mp3 collections, you are sometimes annoyed with unflat sound volumes.
So, you will try "Sound check" in preferences of iTunes. I tried it several times but it never check and adjust sound correctly...
Please let me know if you know tips to adjust and flatten volumes smoothly.
