The eco-points
Well, I don't have any plan to buy something that are selling in these electronics retailers, then I didn't go to these shops these days... There were many customers in electronics retailers, because the eco-points will be down by half from tomorrow.
The eco-points is the Japanese government's policy to boost the purchase of eco-friendly home electronics goods such as digital TVs and air-conditioners. I think, many people bought these electronics goods and got the eco-points.
Thank you.

Ryomaden final
Ryomaden is the story about Ryoma Sakamoto(坂本龍馬) who realised Taiseihoukan(大政奉還) which Tokugawa shogun returned his political power to the emperor. It was the story in end of Edo era(江戸時代), in 1867. I think, he is one of the most famous contributor who made modern Japan.
BTW, I think I watched all of episodes of the Ryomaden (of course, I sometimes recorded when I had another schedule). This is my first time to watch whole story of the period drama. I was not interested in history before, but these days I could change my mind. Now I'm so interested in history especially between end of Edo era and end of World War 2. Then I could enjoy the period drama for this year.
Yesterday, they broadcasted the final episode of Ryomaden. Of course, I watched it on TV. Some people say the breaking news telop that about the election was really annoying, but I think it's all right because there are no choice. They are national public broadcasting organization, and that was their duty, I think.
Anyway, I hope the period drama for next year will be interesting one.
Thank you.

the Tsukuba challenge 2010
Last Thursday and Friday, I joined the Tsukuba challenge 2010. It's the real world robot challenge. Autonomous robots run in the real world and to access the goal.
Well, I didn't join the event as developer of the robot, but I joined the event as supporter. My friend developed the robot and optimized it to this event.
This year's course was 1.1 km long. The robot must run whole course safely. There are many pedestrians in the course, then the robot must steer not to collide these pedestrians.
On Thursday's challenge, the robot must pass the check point at 240-meters point to join the Friday's challenge. We had 2 challenge to pass the 240-meters point. Our robot could pass the point at the second challenge. That means our robot could join the Friday's challenge.
On Friday, our robot couldn't pass even the 240-meters point that the robot could pass on Thursday. Our robot couldn't run out, but we could enjoy it. There were many robot with humor and great decoration. Also, 7 team could run out finally. I think, they are great!
If you want to apply the challenge next year, the organizer would hold the Tsukuba challenge again I think, so you should check their web site. You can check these information from http://www.ntf.or.jp/challenge/index.html.
Thank you.
