A life without the internet



I think, I'm using too many things that related to the internet. Twitter, Facebook, RSS, MMS, email, flickr, Foresquare, Skype, Evernote, Instapaper, iTunes store, YouTube, mixi, and my blog. Of course, these services that I raised are just example, so there are other services that I'm using, I think.

I think, these services are quite useful if there are the internet connection. But I realised that I'm spending much time with these things. And I believed that I must re-think about them. For instance, I was following 138 users on Twitter (maximum) and I tried to read all of their tweets, but it's waste of time I felt. Then I decided to unfollow some of them. Now I'm following 67 users, and I'm planning to unfollow more.

I used to search or watching some site while I'm writing an article, then I took much time to post an article. In this week, I decided to write an article without the internet. Of course, I'm not connecting to the internet right now. I will connect to the internet after I wrote all of this article and post it. I think, it's better to disconnect to the internet while I'm writing an article because I can concentrate on it more and also I can think about it more. That means I can post article in short time and the article would be better one.

I should shorten the time of using the internet like I wrote. But it's tough to not to use them for a long time. For instance, there are many important emails. Not only that if I want to know about something, the internet is the fastest and most useful tool to know them. (especially about coding)

I felt a life without TV is easy for me, but a life without the internet seems to be difficult. But I should shorten the time of using the internet, I felt.

3D cam


Yesterday, I went to electric goods retail shop. I just wanted to check some camera, especially lens for my DSLR camera. But I found some compact cameras that can take 3D photos and 3D videos. 

The photo on top is the catalogue of Finepix real 3D W3. I think, it's the most famous compact camera that can take 3D photos and 3D videos. The camera can take 3D photos/videos because it has 2 lens on right side and left side. It also has 3D capable screen on back.

I could check this camera at the shop, but I felt glassless 3D LCD monitor is not suitable for me. I've got sick a little. I didn't know that but I found Sony's cyber shot can also take 3D photos and 3D videos. Of course, there were no 3D LCD monitor on it.

Well, I don't have 3D capable something such as 3D LCD that means I cannot enjoy these 3D videos without this device. But according to the catalogue, Fujifilm is now offering 3D printing! So now we can share 3D photos. Unfortunately, it's really rare for me to print out photos that I took.

I think, there are really many 3D products in this year. How do you think about that? Do you need it?

Thank you.

Silver week

In Japan, this week is "Silver week(シルバーウィーク)". It's new series of holidays in end of September. It's new because the "Silver week" has began since last year. In this week, we have 2 national holidays. One of them is "Respect for the aged day(敬老の日)" and another one is "Autumn equinox day(秋分の日)".

Why we call "Silver week", because this week include "Respect for the aged day" and it's like "Golden week".

Well, I should write about "Silver".  I couldn't find out any article about "aged person" when I searched "silver" on Oxford English dictionary. We sometimes use the word "silver" as "aged person", for instance, "silver seat" is the seat for aged person. But I think it's totally Japanese-English word.

I heard some reasons why we use the word "silver" as "aged person", I'll write about one of the reason now. The "silver" came from the hair color of aged person.

Thank you.

Bicycle

About a month ago, I had an accident. I needed to go to hospital for a while and my bicycle needed to repair.

Well, I injured because of that, but it was tiny. Also, my bicycle needed to repair, but according to the bicycle shop mechanic, they can repair it shortly.

But I took a month because I needed to solve some insurance issues. Then now, my bicycle came back!!

I'm just looking forward to going somewhere with this bicycle!!

Thank you.
(Thanks Minji)

Season change


I woke up early this morning, because it's cold with short-sleeves... I wear my jacket before washing my face this morning. The season changed rapidly. I think, last week was truly summer, but now it's autumn.

The temperature of this morning didn't reach 20 degrees (celsius). The temperature of last week's morning didn't become below 25 degrees (celsius), I think.

Now I need hot coffee, not iced one.

How about in your place?

Thank you.
