I thought about that a little bit but I know it means nothing.

Today was an interesting day. I was interviewed by a Danish tech TV show “So ein Ding” about use of mobile phone in Japan, along with @kansai_takako. The show is supposed to air in September and our short part should be featured as a part of their series on various tech trends.

Nikolay, the host, asked us how important the data features are compared to the voice/phone feature. On a scale of 1 to 10 – I said 10 or 9 for data. I was kind of surprised to hear myself say that but then I realized that’s so true.

Too bad my WordPress iPhone cover has been broken so couldn’t work on a product placement 😛 but I hope the app icon will at least show up on my home screen.

The photo is of a Hero2 HD camera they used for taking some placeholder shots (I think). Precisely placed on top of a notebook 😉

In Shibuya. Love the red stamp on this chopsticks cover that just says “bean”.

The restaurant is called 空ノ庭 (sky garden).

Shibuya at night.

Met with Madoka Kitao, pro shogi pkayer who is a co-inventor of Dobutsu Shogi. It’s a popular game among kids and board game fans, based on Japanese traditional game of shogi. She’s quite an
inspiration, working hard to spread shogi to more people.

She’ll be traveling to Germany this week to attend a big board game expo.
