My business shirts are off to the cleaners for some proper washing and ironing. 160 yen is now a price I am willing to pay to save me from all the hassles of washing and ironing. They just don’t make non-iron shirts like they used to.
A Stranger Comes To Me
A stranger comes to me, showing me his badge. Asks me where I’m going. Roppongi. Asks me what I’m doing there. Work. Asks me for my passport. Alien Registration Card. Thank you. Weird.

Silence
Over lunch, a friend asked me which company was more fun. Silence… Epson.
Amazing Kagoshima
I didn’t visit any of the city’s famous tourist spots. I didn’t bathe in any of the city’s many popular onsens. I didn’t even party in the city’s many bars and izakayas. And yet, I had one of the best weekends ever. Friday Arrived in Kagoshima and went straight to Mary&Joy Global Outlet. Had a…

My Tennis Profile
These past few weeks, I think I’m experiencing my Second Renaissance… in Tennis. First Renaissance The First Renaissance happened when I was in Kagoshima… when I graduated from being a casual play-once-in-a-while player into a play-eight-hours-a-week tennis addict. That was when I got rid of my cheap-ass Daiei shoes and super-sale beginner’s racket to buy…
If Federer Beats Nadal to Win Roland Garros…
I believe it will surpass his 2001 Wimbledon victory over Pete Sampras as his career’s most cherished victory. During their 2001 encounter, neither Federer nor Sampras was at their prime. Federer hasn’t peaked yet while Sampras is past his peak. It was a mere transfer of power from one aging tennis great to a younger…
When Rico Gets Bored…
He takes his bicycle and goes places. You can see how bored he got this week.
Flying Back To Kagoshima
I’m flying back to Kagoshima. Not for good though. I’ll just be there for four days. I already have my plane and hotel reservations. The only thing left for me to do is to get the necessary days off from work and maybe get some Tokyo omiyage for my Kagoshima friends. I miss those people.
Dell and Ubuntu
It seems that Dell will be releasing computers with Ubuntu pre-installed. It’s about time! Notwithstanding my previous rant about Firefox and YouTube, I believe Ubuntu is ready for prime time.

Firefox and YouTube

This bug is so irritating, I believe it is enough to stop a LOT of people from using Firefox and Ubuntu altogether. Too bad. This had to happen just when I was starting…
