We went to uzumasa eiga park at 29 April. This day was a national holiday of birthday of syowa emperor and sky is blue and this is best season for go around. We left our home at 11 AM and take keihan-train, changed at shijou-kawara machi station and took a bus then arrived there at 12:30.  near there, kouryuji temple this is entrance of cinema village We had a boucher ticket so it took 3500 yen per 3 person including one child. This park is very intersting, especially for children. Because there are many amusement spaces, for example, maze, ninja park, etc . We met with my wife's friend's family and their child is almost same age as our child so they run around over and enjoyed very very much. And it is intersting places for adults because there are old japanese town around edo era and there are exhibition took place. We watched samurai show at open set and intersting! We are tired except children but enjoyed!   samurai sh

Japanese radish, etc

Last years autumn, I sowed this field with japanese radish, chinese cabbages and komatsuna. But it was a little late to sow (nearly winter time) so they grew slowly and spring has come and flowers bloom !! I first see japanese radish's flower. Suddenly stem of them grew taller and flowered with yellow tiny flower. Maybe they are all relatives so their flowers are very similar.

History of my computers

I sometimes feel wonder how splendid current smartphones are. I grew up using old MS-DOS computer and old mainframe computer using at university about 1985- with 8.5 inch floppy disk. So compared these things, revolution of current IT technology is splendid. My first computer(NEC VX21) were around 1MIPS, and  my smartphone(LG G2 01f) is around 1000MIPS. When I was graduate student at 1989-1990, our lab introduced SUN sparkstation 2 and it was around 30MIPS . We used it for simulating our model of network and we are very excited this workstation's high spec. So now I always carry 30 workstations I used to use ! Below are my history of computers I used (netbook,ipod,tablet,smartphone indicating "+") - NEC VX21 (1987?-): V30/80286(8MHz),0.64MB(RAM),20MB(HD) - Epson (1992?-) - Fujitsu (1995?-) - Sotec(notePC)(1998?- ) - Hitachi (2002-) + mouse compute: N450(1.66GHz),1GB(RAM),160GB(HD) + kindle 3 gen:Freescale i.MX353, ARM-11 + iPod touch - HP all in one 200: Core i 3, around

Global University, Local University ?? nonsense

 Recently, I often see a title "G-university, L-university" in newspapers. But it seems very strange to me. At first, concept is very strange to me. My opinion is that I want to go to university that seems intersting. So goverment's definition is none of business. And second is that attitude for education. Every people has a right to study, so competition of test is nonsense to me. Test is one of a tool to know about their understanding are. So thinking such things, I find omae's article and I feel relief..

For what studying ? part2

When I see articles or advertises that say they get high test score or pass XX university and they show some method of studying. I think that they are crazy. (my most unbelievable ad of cramming school showing at train enterance-gate says "why I pass XX university".Don't they feel shamed of their crazyness ?) Maybe many of japanese are tought like this since they are young, so they are natural feeling. But so what ? Do they want to show that they are mechanically high ability people ? And thinking such things, I always go to some thinking that is questioned for  that " for what I live" and it is most important issue from childhood. And for this question, I always answer for me that it is for curiosity.  And as I write down this, I remember writing same thing , but continue. I like science, especially math and physics and electronics and reading books, so I read many such books and eager to study such field, so for me score means nothing. If they like
