Open API conference in Tokyo: 2/28
I’ll be flying to Tokyo with David Recordon to speak at the conference called Open API and beyond. We’ll talk about lots of cool technologies and protocols like OpenID, OAuth, Social Graph and how they affect the current innovations in this industry. After the conference we’ll do pizza/beer party with Lightning Talks which I’ll host. If you want to speak or show off something cool, submit the talk or let me know.

livetune - Re:package
初音ミクがオリジナル曲を歌ってくれました「ファインダー」Once I talked about 初音ミク before, and now we’ve got a great compilation album for this “artist”: livetune’s Re:package. Their sound is electronic and they use vocorder (autotune) to give more techno flavor to this vocaloid’s voice. Melodies are so catchie and pop.

Wisdom Teeth = 親知らず
Today I went to see my new dentist Kuniko Saeki who is a native Japanese. I’ll recommend her if you look for a great dentist who’s able to speak Japanese fluently (her English is not that great btw). I got a cleanup and also did an X-ray to check my teeth bones (some of them were destroyed but she said it’ll be better) and besides that we ended up finding my wisdom teeth which I was supposed to extract 10 years ago but forgot to do.
