When I was in Kagoshima, I got me a second hand Toyota Allion, which I reluctantly sold before moving to Tokyo. Just last month, I got me one of these. I need to save money.

Cheap Microsoft Office
I just got the DVD installer of Microsoft Office:mac 2008, which I bought for 3,150 yen through Microsoft’s Home Use Program and I’m not even excited to open the box! What’s wrong with me? Microsoft does not excite me anymore as it used to. I remember when Windows 3.1 came out or even Windows 95……
WiFi in Tokyo
I recently bought an iPod Touch and was excited at the idea of being able to connect it to the internet anywhere I can get a free WiFi connection. And connect I did. WiFi seems to be all over Tokyo. Walking from my apartment to the station while checking available networks, I can see several….
iBank 3 is Out!
iBank 3 is Out! For a long time when I was still a Windows user, I’ve used Microsoft Money to manage my finances but since moving to the Mac, I found it hard looking for a Mac alternative to Money. It’s very nice and it blends very well with the whole Mac experience — meaning…
Damn Final Cut Express
I got me Final Cut Express (FCE) as I thought it would be the natural next step for us users of iMovie. Maybe it’s just me or iMovie is so much easier to use than FCE. I can do exactly the same thing in iMovie for 30 minutes what it would take me 1 hour…
Not So Mighty Mighty Mouse
Even though the reviews I’ve read about the Wireless Mighty Mouse were not so good, I still bought it and now, I’m beginning to see why I shouldn’t have. It’s mostly because of that small trackball that easily gets dirty and useless. Wipe it, it gets fixed, but after a few weeks, it gets dirty…
Gadget Rundown
What better way to kickstart a personal technology blog than by listing all the gadgets that I currently have. I am not as geeky as I used to be but at I still have my fair share of tokyo gadgetry. Bluetooth Headset: Plantronics Discovery 655Digital Point-and-Shoot Camera: Sony CyberShot T-10Digital SLR Camera: Nikon D40XGame Machine:…
Sopcast for Mac
Damn Sopcast. They don’t have a Mac version! I cannot watch the Australian Open Live! Damn Sopcast! Damn my Mac! With much hesitation, I am taking my old Vaio out of the box just to watch Sopcast. Just kidding… I still love my Mac. Hehe.
Should I Multiply?
It seems some of my friends are getting into Multiply. Even my brother is on Multiply. Half of me is considering creating a new multiply account. The other half is already sick of my oh so many online profiles. Still thinking.
MacBook Keyboard Freeze Problem Solved
The keyboard problem I talked about in my previous blog is now fixed! I don’t have the wireless network connection problem either! It’s been fixed in previous bug fixes. Now my MacBook running Leopard is perfect. 🙂
Leopard on a Macbook – My Verdict
More than a week since I got my MacBook, my first Mac, and I think I am ready to write my review. I definitely love it more than my previous Sony Vaio. The Vaio had a better screen and better speakers but that’s just about it. The MacBook wins in all other aspects. I love…
Calling Philippine Mobiles from Japan
After doing some simple research, I’ve discovered Skype offers the cheapest way to call Philippine Mobiles from Japan at 33 yen/min. If you know of alternatives, do let me know. Right now, I use Skype when I’m home and Softbank otherwise.
