SimCity DS Creator future stage
For those playing SimCity DS Creator: this is how you get to the future stage.
「スタッフロール後、再び「現代おんだんか時代」の続きの画面に戻される。
つまり、クリアーしても、次の時代に簡単に進ませてはもらえない。
☆ 人口増加数３０万人以上
☆ ２０７１年以降（２０ＸＸ年でもＯＫ）
☆ 街の汚染度５０％以上
☆ 道路と高密度区画が全体マップの７０％以上」
[source]
What this says is that to get to the future stage, you have to first beat the global warming stage by getting up to 100% approval. After you see the staff...

Flickr finances
I’m wondering if I should just suck it up and buy a pro Flickr account. $25 for a year equates to about $2 a month, and I get unlimited uploads and sets to organize all my photos, so it’s not a bad deal. Plus the photo-community style is also nice for sharing and such.
Maybe I’ll just get it for x-mas as a present to myself.

Cheap domains! →
GoDaddy.com had a ridiculously amazing sale on domain names. For a one year subscription, you could purchase any .com/.org/.net/.mobi for only 99 cents!
So I went ahead and I grabbed up a domain for my blog, which you can now find at gokenji.net
I’m not sure if the campaign is still going, but you’re welcome to try. The coupon code is: 99DOMAIN.

Jaw problems
Last year I had surgery on the right side of my jaw because of some joint and muscle problems. Before the surgery I could hardly open and close my mouth, but it was fixed and I was again able to eat and chew like a normal person. However, over a year later, I’m having the same problems again, but with the left side of my jaw.
Damn.

Registrars and custom domains
I’ve recently bought two domains from Namecheap.com, which sells domains cheaper than GoDaddy, and apparently has better services. I’ve already had some problems that weren’t namecheap.com related, but the people on their live support chat were happy to help me regardless.
Anyway, if you’re a Tumblr.com user, you can easily set your tumblelog to a custom domain name with...

Recent site building activity
Lately I’ve been pretty busy setting up different sites, mostly for myself. I mentioned my sanshin site several times already, and I’m pretty proud of it as I think it’ll be useful to a lot of people. In fact, I’m so proud of it that I plan to buy a domain name for it as soon as I can. I’ll probably buy a domain with godaddy.com, but namecheap.com also works nicely,...

I created a new sanshin site!
I used to run a personal blog-slash-sanshin site at Chikuten.com, but because of some miscommunication with my web host, I had no choice but to close it down. Then I received an e-mail from one of my visitors asking if the site would ever be restored. Granted, this was not the first message I received asking about the site, but because I had overslept and missed work, I had a full day of nothing...

North decides to secede
Found this posted somewhere on the internet. It’s intended to be a joke.
Dear Red States,
We’ve decided we’re leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we’re taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren’t aware, that includes Hawaii , California , Oregon , Washington , Minnesota , Wisconsin , Michigan , Illinois , New York , and all of the...

Scene from "Role Models"
Clerk: Can I take your order?
Beth: Can I get a tall chai?
Danny: And a large black coffee.
Clerk: A what?
Danny: Large black coffee.
Clerk: You mean a venti?
Danny: No, I mean large.
Beth: He means a venti. The biggest one you got.
Clerk: Large is a venti.
Danny: No, "venti" is 20. "Large" is large. In fact, "tall" is large, and "grande" is spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Itallian--congratulations, you're stupid in three languages.

Japanese develop virtual figures
So now the anime freaks and other sorts of otaku can buy interactive figures that respond to actions via computer. Here’s what it is:
And here’s how it works:
I’m not a pervert, I swear, but I can’t help but want one for fun O_O…

Election thoughts (cont.)
I recently made this post: “Just a thought, but I think the fact that he’s the first black guy to be elected president is being blown a little out of proportion, or at least in Japan it is. I mean, it’s great and all, but what’s more important to me is having someone competent run the country. After all, it’s not like people voted for him because he’s black...

Kiss me 麦穂のほとり Nightly 青草（くさ）の波間
二人 羽ひろげ おめかしおして踊ろう
Oh Kiss me 淡い闇夜に Lead me 月も待ってるよ
ほら ごらん 風が歌ったて蛍（ほし）が踊り始めた
So kiss me
Kiss me 秘密の城で Swing me タイヤの船
花の帽子お持って あなたのパパの夢へ
Oh Kiss me 淡い闇夜に Lead me 月も待ってるよ
ほら ごらん 風が歌ったて蛍（ほし）が踊り始めた
So kiss me
Oh Kiss me 淡い闇夜に Lead me 月も待ってるよ...
