SONIC SEGA ALL-STARS iOS app on iPod touch

I tried the SONIC SEGA ALL-STARS iOS app on iPod touch today, which I bought for 170yen, and I like how it uses quality graphics. The accelerometer is used to steer. It uses OpenFeint for social gaming, but I haven't tried it yet. I took the photos with my Sony NEX-5N.

Got a new case for my iPod touch.

Got a new case for my iPod touch from +simplism. I really like it. I give it 4.9/5 rating.The case could be a little thinner.

Updated my PS VIta.

Today, I updated my PS VIta because it told me to when I connected to PS3 to transport a MP3 file to the Vita.

Just thinking... this was high end once!

Man, isn't it hard to think that at one time, this would have been considered HIGH END STUFF!

New iPod

Earlier this year, I lost my 4th geb iPod nano and a week or so ago, my watch quit ticking. After getting a new iPod nano and seeing it has a clip built into the back, I decided hell, lets use this to replace my old watch too. The old watch's band, some staples and a pair of scissors later, here's what I have!

Panorama with NEX-5N

I tried panorama mode on the NEX-5N I got recently. Works great!

Interested in ENIAC simulation? Here is a good Java executable.

Interested in ENIAC simulation? Here is a good Java executable. The Java jar worked, not the applet on the below link on my environment. To be honest, I don't have a clue yet on how to operate this! :) lol http://www.zib.de/zuse/Inhalt/Programme/eniac/

Update 2/1/2013: Here's a link I wanted to share.

Rechargeable 1000mAh microUSB battery

Rechargeable 1000mAh microUSB battery is something that comes in handy when you go out and can't find an AC outlet for your smartphone. I bought it at a convenient store called LAWSON in Japan.

Remember OLPC? Tablet is on the way now.

Remember OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) ? Seems like a $100 tablet is on the way now.

Tried out 7db wireless USB adapter with Vaio Z

I tried out 7dB wireless USB adapter called GW-USSuper300 with Vaio Z today at Shonandaira in Kanagawa Prefecture. I could pick up several AP. Sadly, no free wifi spots were found up there in the mountains.

Update: 12/17/2012 I used IODATA's WN-G300UA in approximately the same place, but it didn't pick up any AP except for my HTC EVO WiMAX which was on tethering mode. So it seems like the 7dB antenna on the GW-USSuper300 is pretty good.

Nikon DSLR Bluetooth Controller (Android to Arduino)

Nikon DSLR Bluetooth Controller (Android to Arduino) video I found.

Something Classical.

I like the oscilloscope. :)

Typed up an article on my Sigmarion 3.

Typed up an article on my Sigmarion 3. Well, to be honest, mostly on my Sigmarion 3. I used my Macbook Pro and used Toshiba Dynabook to upload it.

I wrote this article in Starbucks today until my uncharged Sig 3 gave me the battery warning. lol
