Google Pixel Review
This is my 5th Android phone, after using Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant), Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and Nexus 5X. I usually post some reviews just after a few days of use on my blog (linked above), but this time it took me a week to write this one. The reason is pretty simple — there’s not really a lot of things to write about this device. Except that: it is almost perfect. So the tl;dr of the post is: I love
The new Macbook Pro
I’m writing this blog post on Macbook Pro Retina 13” Late 2013. This is a computer my previous employer bought for me in early 2014, and I bought it from them because I really liked it, and they didn’t have any plan to reuse the laptop. My current employer has given me a 15” equivalent, but I decided to separate my personal laptop from home this time, since I don’t want to mess my work laptop with
Podcasting Setup 2016
This is an annual post of describing my podcasting setup for Rebuild. See the posts in 2015 and 2014 to see the progress. What’s New tl;dr if you followed my 2015 setup — what’s changed since then: Beta 87A condenser microphone Zoom H5 Acon Digital restoration Fastly to serve audio files Hardware I have two different setup for recording online (Skype) or offline.

Pebble Time
Here’s a quick review of Pebble Time. This is a second Pebble for me. The previous was Pebble Steel. It’s such an upgrade with a colorful screen (not full color), with much faster user interface and animation. The timeline UI is very good, and the original Pebble’s watchfaces look ugly as compared to this. The hardware looks cheap and a toy-like, but it still looks better than the Steel to me. It
Sony SRS-X77
JAMBOX I’ve been a long time user of the original JAMBOX. It’s portable, and is loud-but-not-too-loud to put on my desk on the loft to listen to the music while I work from home. There are many shortcomings with JAMBOX though: one is that it always wakes up with some weird startup sound, which apparently Jawbone fixed with a later software update. The other thing is that it uses Bluetooth pairing
Shirobako characters
(Slight spoiler alert) One of the things I like about Shirobako is that it’s not just about creating anime, but it’s a story of building teams, and working with many kinds of people with different backgrounds. I knew I can relate to a few characters in the show, and after the second run of watching it, this filming director guy looks fitting very well. His name is apparently Yoshiki Sakura. For bo
How I Learn Chinese
I started learning Chinese a couple of months ago now. The motivation was obviously seeing Mark Zuckerberg giving his talk in Chinese in Beijing, and just thought I would be able to do that as well. Plus as a frequent traveler to Taiwan, I always wanted to learn the language, although with enough Kanji knowledge as a regular Japanese I had been able to spend my time without any Chinese knowledge a
Kindle Paperwhite 2013
Kindle Paperwhite 2013 just got delivered to me and I’ve been using it only about 15 minutes. Here’s a quick review and some pics. 15分ぐらいしか使ってないけどとりあえずファーストインプレッション。 (Paperwhite 2012 left, 2013 right) 2013 has more white closer to “paper” white. 2012 is more like blue/gray white. Also the contrast is a little higher and easier to read, especially when the light turned off. 白の色がちょっと変わって、紙の色に近づいた気がす

Link: miyagawa/kml2xmp Decodes kml for track info, and then locate the position for each photo taken, and creates .xml sidecar files next to the raw file, when it doesn’t exist already. kml2xmp uses sips command (comes with Mac OS X) to get the creation date of your photo.I’ve been a huge fan of Eye-Fi for geotagging photos with Wi-Fi locations. It usually works well in the urban area, but sometim
Kindle paperwhite review
Setup screen has variety of languages in menu. No home button. Much more crisp display. Compare with Kindle Touch with Lighted case Japanese vertical mode (縦書) with KF8 MOBI is supported out of the box. Hardware Definitely lighter, especially compared with Kindle Touch + lighted case No home button. Probably gets less confusing because I always click the home button when the device is off, which d
The Elephant Vanishes
Link: The Elephant Vanishes The Elephant Vanishes is a collection of Murakami’s early short/medium-long stories. I’ve read almost all of them in other collections in Japanese already, but thought it might be worth a short re-reading them in English. Rented this book digitally on Kindle from SFPL and have been reading it for a while. The SFPL rental expires in 21 days, but I can rent it again once
MacBook Air 13 + The new iPad, match made in heaven
I carry Macbook Air 13” and the new iPad to work in a coffee shop / public library and i think it’s a match made in heaven. Here’s how: If the place has both power and wifi, I’ll use the macbook all the time to do everything. There’s no use for the iPad but that’s fine! If the place has only power but no wifi, I use the iPad’s personal hotspot. It has the 4G LTE, 20Mbps down and 10Mbps up. Awesome
Exciting Times
Here’s a quick (big) announcement: I’m parting ways with DotCloud and will join COOKPAD in February. As for DotCloud, It’s been an interesting ride for me at 180 Sansome and I will definitely miss working with them, and wish the best luck at their challenge to be the best platform as a service. My last day at DotCloud is 1/31. On February 1st, I will join COOKPAD, Inc. to work full-time as a senio
