Two or three times a week I leave my car at home and take the subway to University. It is not a habit but a conscious act that allows me to break free and mingle into the crowd – even though being a foreigner in the countryside Japan does not allow one to really observe [...]

From Believer to Skeptic – Apples and IBMs
February 11, 2008 – 1:02 am
I believe it was the end of the 70’s and the beginning of the 80’s. Things were changing fast and in the fast lane was personal computing.
At the age of five I had my very first contact with a computer, or at least what people believed to be a computer at that time. It was [...]
Adobe After Effects CS3
September 3, 2007 – 2:18 am
最近博士論文を書いてるので時間があまりないですがもうちょっと暇になったらAdobe After Effects CS3の詳しい勉強がしたい。
時分のパソコン(今の使っているはiMacの24インチCoreDuoです)にインストールして、少しだけでも遊んでみたらびっくりした！色々なことがリアルタイムでできるからとっても楽しい。 今までにFinalCutProとExpressだけが使ったけどこれからもっとAfter Effectsのことをマスターできるといいなぁ。。。
論文を終わるまでにお楽しみにしてる。

Unfortunately, after an extensive search on the Internet I found only one program to do the task and it didn’t work properly for me (it crashed, got stuck and [...]

August 16, 2007 – 3:58 pm
Apple introduced early this month iLife8 and together with it the long waited iMovie8.
I own a iMac24″ and I was excited about using iMovie8 new real-time on-the-fly editing capabilities to create some new and exciting HDV projects, specially after being very happy working with its previous version, the iMovieHD.

Wii Remote and Apple iMac
July 1, 2007 – 1:22 pm
I have found, just out of curiosity, that the Wii remote is discoverable and compatible with OSX. All you will need is a Wii Remote and a Mac computer running OSX with bluetooth support.
First you will need to set your Wii remote to discoverable mode by simultaneously pushing buttons 1 and 2. On your [...]

Windows Vista Review: “a shameless Mac OS X imitator”
January 31, 2007 – 3:16 am
This is what Julio Ojeda-Zapata wrote as bottom line for his Windows Vista Review at the Pioneer Press:
“Get a Mac with OS X unless your home-computer needs are Windows-specific, or if the fine Media Center is a must for you. You likely won’t regret a Vista-PC purchase, but I’m betting you’ll enjoy a Mac much [...]
