...er, and so? I might be missing something here. I picked up one of these babies this week . Very nice .

I think that was the point.

Powered by a 400MHz ARM processor, the CommanderGauntlet is a all-in-one communications device integrated into a Neoprene/Kevlar glove. It's paper vapor now, but check out the specs -- tri-band GSM phone, on-board 2-way radio, 802.11g, GPS, Bluetooth, virtual network computing remote to Tablet PC, email, integrated solar backup, video control with camera accessory, RFID scanner (option), fold out keyboards; Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, this is going into a glove? I guess you can do anything with technology these days, provided you're backed by fat stacks of homeland security money. Of course, I wa

A friend of mine works at a gas stand. I asked him and he said he did have some "training" on the shouting/greetings. He said you get used to it and fall in with the way of doing things after that initial "training".

4 weeks today and I'm off.

I used to really like them when they first came out..... Fight for the Right! Cool. They were so 'controversial'.

If I don't get at least 7, I get all groggy all day. I need more than that sleep.

I thought the name was buffet (in katakana)??

Where I used to live, when I first came here, I used to take part in local things like matsuri and events but in my new place it doesnt seem as friendly and no-one seems to know much about each other. I'm not as keen to put out either, matsuri fatigue perhaps. So do you take part in local events?

Are there normal postal delivery services here on national holidays?

I know some of them. Even though it's their holiday, they hate it. Strange, hey?

Sarcasm doesn't seem to be a popular form of humor here in Japan does it? A shame, I often find it to be one of the funniest and cleverest.

The top news in the world at the moment is.... .... Naoko Takahashi was not chosen to go to the Olympics.

It's my understanding (yak connections excluded) that short of a contract ending, a landlord has no leg to stand on regarding evictions. ..... unless the guy has done something disruptive. That's where all the "aimai" might come into it. I had a friend who was basically evicted (very politely) without much of a reason. He looked into legal things, but it seemed like massive hassle and just decided to find somewhere else (better in the end)

Is the pass mark higher for more difficult the test? I thought it was all 70% pass mark.

Good news! Then we will have much much snow.

I've never heard it in a shop. S'pose I've never been anywhere at closing time (apart from the bars!)

Doesn't everyone?

Was there a reason he was called the Man in Black, apart from anything to do with the clothes he wore?

Just my own + a bit of another

I flew BA last week. Not long haul, but they weren't very good. And the stewardess I had on my aisle was too big for the aisle. She got in the way.

What in the blazers is a takicopter?

McDs for me too for a few months. It was ok actually apart from the constant smell. I was in with a fun bunch of people

I am moving to near Roppongi in a few months
