Tweeting from space

These days, I used to use Twitter and check some celebrities updates. I'm following many people. But I like Soichi Noguchi who is Japanese astronaut. He is tweeting from ISS.


He shows us several photos that he took in ISS. Of course, I've never been there so I didn't have chance to watch the earth from the space. lol


I can see several cities like Concepcion, Santiago, Sydney, Christchurch, Houston, Tokyo and etc... I love the photo of Tokyo that he took before.


According to some sources, he will come back to earth on 2nd June (earth time). Until then, we can enjoy his photos on "http://twitter.com/astro_soichi". You should check that! lol


Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!

Anti ecologists?



I believe that moving by bicycle is better than by automobile. And it's cheaper. I recommend to go to company or college by bicycle. It is not only for ecology, also for healthy life style.

I surprised when I heard the news that some government agencies banned to go to office by bicycle for their staffs. Also Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry decided to ban bicycle commute, even they are encouraging healthy life style.

I think, they dislike bicycle.

Anyway, I want the government to ban street parking on every streets for all of bicycle commuters including me.

Thank you.

Free businesses and e-books

These days, I had some chances to download some new books online with no cost. I've already downloaded 3 books. I heard that I could download the translated version of "Free: The father of radical pricing" written by Chris Anderson.  I downloaded that as soon as possible. I believe that this PDF version offered for about 1,000 people. (I forgot the exact number... ) Of course, we cannot print it. I'm still reading this book on my MacBook because I couldn't take time to read book on my MacBook these days...

Anyway, after this book, some books offered to free download. I downloaded "できるポケット+EVERNOTE(Dekiru pocket plus Evernote)" as a monitor. (I need to tweet a little bit about this...) I've already read this book.
And I downloaded "生命保険のからくり(The gimmick of life assurance)".

Maybe there are more free books that we can download. But I'm looking for e-book readers for Japan! Amazon Japan is not treating digital version of books on their web site yet. And the e-book market in Japan is not large enough, I think. But these free download offer may change these situation.

But there's Japanese proverb that is "ただより高いものはない".
In English "There is nothing more costly than something that got for free(nothing)". So, what's next?

Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!

Annual party

Weather in here is not good these days, but tomorrow it will be fine, I heard. Temperature changes so rapidly. On weekend, the temperature was bit high but from Monday it's cold. Especially today was too cold...

Anyway, we are in the graduation season in Japan. Of course, I'm not going to graduate this year, but I joined farewell party for seniors. Yesterday was the party of part time job.

I couldn't join last year's farewell party so, it was not annual party for me. But I could enjoy the party.

Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!

Across the Pacific Ocean

Massive earthquake attacked Chile on Saturday 0630 (GMT). I'm really concerning about that but Japanese media is treating only tsunami warning yesterday.

Japan meteorological agency warned of Tsunami for most of coast line in Japan. They warned that over 3.0 meter high tsunami wave might attack. I don't know when they lift the warnings, but now there are no warnings of tsunami.

The highest tsunami wave was about 1.5 meter high, I heard. The height of the tsunami wave was smaller than predicted, and there are no injured person, I heard.

Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!
