From Hirakata-city, Osaka-prefecture, Japan

 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..

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

Wine is famous tool for using windows app on linux. But before using it, it was not useful for me because there were many restriction ( I forgot the detail ) and stopped using it. And recently, I happend to use it and it evolved splendedly. - it can handle various windows version, exp. XP, ME, 98, 95 etc - each app can select each os version, so if I can only click A app working on windows XP or B app working on windows 98 with no attention. Very useful ! - it work very smootly. I remember old wine is heavy so motion of app is very slow, but current wine can handle apps very smootly. My netbook is Intel Atom 450, memory 1G, ubuntu 14.01LTS but run very smootly. Now I am using microsoft encarta 98 which can't work on XP environment, but is work very smootly. It's fantastic thing !

Recently, I've come to think that if I want to criticize someone, it's better to do it by myself. If I criticize someone, I felt bad and furthermore it didn't go better because they couldn't do it. To spend time with criticizing somethings is waste of time.. To be on the side of people who always criticize someone or something or not is up to us.

today checking amazon site, I found that kindle is priced down for winter bergain. I bought ¥6980 but now can buy ¥4980, very shocked ! And it is shown when I log in with amazon ID. I am now a member of amazon prime, so it might be limited member's information. Anyway, I'm very very shocked and felt anger for amazon..

New kindle was released and it is not expensive (¥6980) compaired with kindle whitepaper (about  ¥10 thousant), so that I decided to buy one. I ordered Thursday and arrived next day on Friday due to amazon prime service (trying 30days free tiarl). Using it, it ers pad with old one, I can read japanese books from amazon.co.jp because my od one was USA version so it handle amazon.com, can't display japanese character. ( I sometimes use send-to-kindle option to display Japanese character from PDF document) - checking meaning of words easily. There are dictionary in old one but it is english-english dic. and moving cursor to a destination word takes a little time. But with new one, I touch a word and finish ! very simple. (of course there are japanese -English dic.) Furthermore, checked words are stored in flash card automatically. - Scrolling pages is very easily. There is a function that I can display page preview with small size, moving next page or chapter through  preview. It is v

I used ¥980 maruman watch for about 2years, but recently this watch was sometimes in a wrong manner. After using stopwatch function plus ilumination function and press a stop botton, time was all reset! (I often do joging after coming home and used stopwatch function of my watch) And 3days before, at last time was incorrect. It might be out of battely, but I decided to buy new watch at amazon. I like CASIO G-SHOCK orignal model(5600) and found ¥5900 imported one, so I orderd it. And yesterday, it was delivered but it was another type(model 9052). I've used amazon for a long time but such thing was first. Returning process is easy. At first, I clicked url in reciept mail and I writ down my telephone number and push botton, then there were return cal from amazon telephone center. After telling infirmation, they did refunding procejure. Then I packed the watch into box then brought it to convinience store, sended it to amazon C.O.D.* When amazon recieve the percel, I`ll recieve amazo

This day(26, Oct.) was kindergarden's festival day, his last festival. we ate lunch at kindergarden's room. There are many exhibitions and event like haunted house, bingo event. Afterthat, we harvested taro and plant japanese white raddishes. And dinner was takoyaki party!  Very happy day.

Recently, I read a book written by an attorney woman graduated first on the list of University of Tokyo. As reading it, I felt strange because as far as her books, she study hard to get high rank score. I can't understand her basic idea. For what does she study ? People went to school because they want to know things they didn't know. From such view point, Score should not be the object. Studying for a name or rank means nothing. It's waste of time. If I have time, I want to use time for true study.Maybe for science favoring people like me can understand such way of thinking. Knowing fantasic idea human being got to know is fascnating things, and for me, this is the most important thing for life. But as far as I know, many of japanese people is like her, and such sense of value might be hard to change, I think.

I read books mainly from public library by internet reservation system, and sometimes buy books (mainly used books because there are many used bookstore aroud japan) or buy e-books  which are not sold in japan or are cheaper compared with translation version. Internet services including internet  accessibility is very cheap & sufficient (for example my mobile phone with internet cost about 10 $ per month). So if we memo titles of books which we had lent & read . we don't have to own books by myself.  Of course, I want to buy books if these are mine, I can write down memo on books or fold down corner of pages. But for many ordinally people, there are limit of allowance for family so using public library services plus IT is very good way for book lover.

Recently, I use tablet(Nexus 7 with wifi) & smart phone ( LG l-01f with MVNO) . Before, I used iPod touch and used flashcaed app for memo of english words and after changing to android(nexus 7), I can't find good app and furthermore, I changed my old mobile phone to smartphone(l-01f) with MNNO to reduce telecommunication fee, so I want to find good app which I can handle 2 devices with synchronizing database. And I find this software. It is very easy to use and it can sync database via Google docs, so if I can append words in one device and push sync bottom, then I can update another device with simply push sync bottom. I like it, but recently when I deleted Google docs's spreadsheet, I can't upload data to Google docs. But today, this trouble has been solved. After uploading data, I could not see spreadsheet from Google doc app, but when I access from desktop PC, I can find uploaded spreadsheet and after that, I can see uploaded spreadsheet from Google doc app. Maybe
