HD videos in YouTube

Found HD version of my favorite video in YouTube. Great quality even in fullscreen mode. Not only visual quality is great. The video it self is really amazing and touching me.

HD version: YouTube – Where the Hell is Matt? (2008)

Normal version is here.

Here is a former video in 2006.

Cool business cards

Found a cool entry when I watched Diggnation #164, the episode that Kevin and Alex were drinking Itoen’s green tea. The cards gallery is really creative.

Amazing iPhone App

Found an amazing iPhone app via Digg.

Apple’s iPhone-App-Approval Mouse Falls Off Treadmill: Buy The $1000 App That Does Nothing (AAPL)

Behold: “I Am Rich,” a $999.99 app from Armin Heinrich, which just displays a red gem on the phone’s screen — nothing else.

lol… Is he genius?!

See comments on digg here.

Upgraded MovableType 3 to 4

Finally I finished transition from MovableType 3 to 4. This is a test post form my new blogging platform. It was really easy to upgrade. Just followed these steps.

  1. Back up entire directories
  2. Back up a database
  3. Upload MT4
  4. Change permissions
  5. Overwrite mt-config.cgi from my MT3

That’s it! If you use plugins, need to copy them too. I had a problem about templates mapping but was solved soon.

Now I have to fix templates to use a global templates feature. Hope to get a more productive way to maintenance blogs.

My working space at home

I heard that Japanese geeks’re in Kansai area today but couldn’t join cos my work.

Studying at cafe in this morning like this.

Delicious.

This is my working space at home. In fact here is a living room so it’s not my desk but I like sitting on a couch and work with HHK like this. And I also like 5.1ch speakers around here to listen music in my iTunes library or some songs from Muxtape and Last.fm. MacBook on the right is encoding a video I edited.

Thought about Digg's evolution

Digg launches a recommendation engine which rumored these days. Read Kevin’s entry below for more detail. There’re some videos about it.

Digg the Blog » Blog Archive » Recommendation Engine rolling out this week!

To be honest, it was little bit quick move than I thought but was made the recommendation engine to more an important factor for all of these kinda social web apps. SBM services include del.icio.us may get a similar feature soon.

We’re keep walking but thought it’s a hard thing to do something even if it’s clear.

Anyway, will write some code.

iPhone released in Japan

Finally, iPhone released here in Japan. However I can’t buy it today, I’m in Yodobashi Camera Umeda now 😛

Just came here to see the release event of the iPhone. Here is a video of the historical countdown with Dante Carver well known as "Yosou GUY" on TV commercials of SoftBank and a VP guy. Maybe he is a VP of SoftBank Mobile I think but not sure.

You can see a gap between US and Japan over the audience. Only a MC and some staff of the Yodobashi Camera are shouting. But don’t worry, all of us are excited.

There’re no more numbered ticket to get it here but I already reserved one at another place.

Hey, if you’re in Japan especially around Osaka, you should watch TV news tonight and find a guy wearing an orange shirt and a black sunglasses. It’s me!
