Doubt ... http://www.timarai.com/blog/2008/11/17/learning-lightroom-2/ Don't know why it took me this long to actually get around to playing with Photoshop for real as opposed to just sorta using it now and again for nothing more than the occasional tweak. Probably because only this summer did I finally get a good enough PC that ... http://www.timarai.com/blog/2008/11/13/learning-photoshop/ So, this is not really a post about Japan or anything really informative or important. Just...something stupid... I posted about the fact that I got this cool new Sony Walkman a while back. You can get it in the US too but in Japan, this thing can record TV ... http://www.timarai.com/blog/2008/11/10/the-dangers-of-watching-video-in-bed/ Not the best shot in the world but it was a test shot with my new camera to give its bracketing capabilities a try. Worked pretty good. Only +/-1 but still managed to get some good detail. As always the image is a link to a bigger one. And yes, ... http://www.timarai.com/blog/2008/11/06/fun-with-hdr-and-photoshop/ J gave me an awesome birthday gift! Scarlet Johansen's autograph!!!

The Gorone Makura! What is this you ask? Let me explain. ... http://www.timarai.com/blog/2008/11/01/lazy-lounging-gadget/ Of course not. I'm not going to be THAT lucky! Was at F's new house helping pass out Halloween candy when I managed to catch a photo of 2 planes flying overhead. Turned out pretty neat with the plane's contrails reflecting the sunset. Some digital work was done and some ... http://www.timarai.com/blog/2008/10/31/shooting-stars-on-halloween/ From my last trip out there, I finally remembered to take a picture of this... This is one of those products that can really only fly in Japan and most definitely not work in the US. Over there people aren't as sensitive to weight as over here. Probably because ... http://www.timarai.com/blog/2008/10/31/another-only-in-japan-marketing/ For anyone reading this from the US, you can ignore this particular post. Mom wanted me to post pics of the outside of my house for my relatives and rather than do it by e-mail apparently my blog is the easiest place for them to all go see... と言うことで、今年の12月末には1年になりますが、僕の新しいタウンハウスです。 ワイドアングルレンズのテストで3月に撮った写真です。オリジナルのブログポストはここです： クリック！ そのページに行けば回りのタウンハウスも見れますよ～～～。 今度遊びに来てくださいね＾＾ http://www.timarai.com/blog/2008/10/28/my-townhouse/ ...yeah...I got another one...
