SOFTWARE, JAPAN, SELF-ACTUALIZATION AND

Today (Saturday) was a very busy and long day. Ayako and I traveled across Tokyo to Motoyawata - a city in Chiba prefecture (although, honestly, Tokyo sprawls in such a fashion that is very difficult to tell where one city ends and another begins… the only thing that helps you spot the cities within […]

Today was busy, I participated in a pretty high priority meeting that may open some very big doors for Innovative Language Learning (the relatively young startup I work at).  This may be an opportunity to open new markets and find enterprise customers.  Fun stuff.
Other than work, I ate some interesting soup today that Ayako fixed.  […]

So today was full of busywork.  Ayako and I had to rearrange the room to fit my stuff, her stuff, and still give us a sense of organization.  The small computer desk was cleaned off and moved to a roomier corner and is now a prime location for me to do my work.  My suitcases […]

ただいま。　ぼくは　にっぽん　に　います。　きょうは　わたしたちが　よどばし　に　いった。
I’m in Japan, Sasazuka-Tokyo to be exact. Today we went to Yodabashi to buy a monitor and keyboard - I kinda need one since I left them in the US. They were out of stock on the monitors, however, we placed an order which will be delivered sometime this week. Gotta […]

In 1 week I’ll make a permanent move to Japan.  Ayako and I have lived apart for nearly two years now, and its about time we have a chance to plan our future from a central location.  Moving has been a pretty big part of my life, and I’m glad for all the places I’ve […]
