My favorite 5 talks
A year ago, I heard about wonderful web site called "TED". TED means Technology, Entertainment and Design. On ted.com, we can watch many kinds of talks at free. Also, there are many language support, so sometimes I watch some videos with Japanese subtitles. But I prefer not to use that one, because sometimes these subtitles appear before the speaker speak on video.
Anyway, I like TED. I can know many peoples' thinking, ideas, funny stories, serious stories, and so on. I think, the "TALKS" is the best entertainment.
I watched several talks on TED and I picked up some from ted.com as my favorite talks. Also, I like two talks (or I should say speech) not from ted.com. Here's my favorite 5 talks. In fact, I like more and more talks so here's only a few talks that I like.
* Steve Jobs 2005 Stanford Commencement Address
I think, many people know about his speech. As you know, Steve Jobs is CEO of Apple inc., and this is one of the most famous speech that he did at Stanford University in 2005. My friend told me that some colleges in Japan used this speech for their entrance examinations.
*Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams
I think, it's famous too. I'm so interested in VR technology, but more than that there're many things that I could learn.
*Stacey Kramer the best gift I ever survived
TED2010
I like this video, the most. The video let me think about my entire lifestyle.
*Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution!
TED2010
I've never been to senior-high school and usual university. In such situation, I like this video and I think Japanese people should think about this seriously.
Also I like "Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity". This is TED2006's talk, and I like this too.
*Amber Case: We are all cyborgs now
TEDWomen
It's simple, we are now cyborgs. lol Seriously, I like her talk.
So, these are my favorite 5 talks. Again, I want to share more and more talks because there are many talks available on ted.com and mostly these talks are really great. I think, I will write about this thing in near future.
At last, I write about my favorite funny talk that I found on ted.com. Here it is.
*Sebastian Wernicke: Lies, damned lies and statistics (about TEDTalks)
He's talking about TEDTalks and how to make ultimate TEDTalks and the worst TEDTalks. It might be helpful to make the ultimate talk, or the worst talk... Anyway, it's funny.
If you have time, please watch these talks and tell me your opinion.
Thank you.

We are champion!
It was really long game, but it was really exciting game. Finally, Tadanari Lee fired a volley at the extra game. I felt the combination of Tadanari Lee and Yuto Nagatomo was really wonderful! Also, Eiji Kawashima's wonderful save was really great.
So, we won and became the champion of AFC Asian Cup again! I hope they will win again and again!
Thank you.

New Year's greeting card with a lottery number
These years, I don't send new year's greeting card, because I felt e-mail or twitter or maybe facebook would be better than greeting card. It's easily send New Year's greeting, and greet with many people simultaneously.
Anyway, a few people send me New Year's greeting cards, and I sent reply to them as soon as possible(of course). These New Year's greeting cards have numbers in bottom of the postcard. These are the number for lottery. Last Monday, very lucky numbers have been revealed.
If you won the first prize, you will get 40 inch Full-HD LED TV or other gifts (you can choose from 5 prizes). I think most of readers don't have Japanese New Year's greeting card, but here's the link for lucky numbers. http://www.yubin-nenga.jp/otoshidama/number.html
Well, I checked these numbers and greeting cards that I got.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find these lucky numbers from my own greeting cards.
Thank you.

Long Long Night
Last night was really long night. I watched AFC Asian Cup Japan vs South Korea on TV. It was really fantastic and interesting game. I felt that both Japan and South Korea did great job!
The game didn't end in 120 minutes. Japan won after Penalty shootout. There are some negative opinions for some players and referees. But I'm not going to write about that, because I felt I lack the credentials to criticize.
Anyway, I believe both Japan and South Korea will win next game. Especially, I hope Japan national team to be champion of Asian cup!
Thank you.
