OSAKA - Highlighting Japan - September 2014

My latest published piece for the government run Highlighting Japan.

Writing, Photos, Video all by me.

Click through to this link if you're on a computer and click the play video button to watch it. do it. It's good. It also features Manny Marx's music. If you're on a phone/tablet... try it and let me know if it works for you...

it didn't for me and there is no way to directly view the video (even government magazines have bureaucracy it seems)

If you just want to read the article you have a few more options:

PDF, HTML, screenshot

but I really recommend the video.

The magazine itself is available on Kindle but this issue isn't out yet. and should be on Google Books/iTunes soon. I'll post a post when it happens.

Casio Sent some new toys (EX-FR10 )

I'm going to be playing with their new  (action?) camera for a little while. As always, WHen I'm done, the review will be on akihabaranews.com. As always. On paper, Casio cameras seem like gimmicks but in person they are extremely high quality and very appealing. I wonder how good the image and video quality will be.

Hanx Writer - Get this App!

my thoughts are in the screenshot.

It's an app designed by Tom Hanx (you know, the dude who saved Private Ryan) because he loves typewriters. While they are before my time I sure as hell love mechanical keyboards and the clicketty clackkety sound they make.

No jokes. It's simple and it works really well if you need to pound keyboard on a screen. It gives you that rhythm you need to keep typing. It also showed my why my Cherry MX Red corsair board is not so brilliant for typing. Time to look into Browns or blues, since I don't game anymore and type like a mad man.

and why did I decide to start punting apps on my blog all of a sudden?
Because I can. I'm not getting any cash for it or anything. If I punt it, its cos I like it.
