Some shoes are never meant to be comfortable. I loose about 1L of blood every time I wear these, even for 5 minutes. I feel defeated for throwing them away, so I guess I will just grow thicker skin on my feet.
Two things I don’t understand:

My artwork of the day.
I either can’t sleep at all or I dream about the wackiest crap. I need something to keep me sane.
All cats should look like this.

Alex asked me to blog about the iPhone apps I like, so there will be a record. I figure I might as well list them on iusethis.com. Here’s my iPhone apps feed and OSX apps feed. They are on my "Everything I Do Online" feed as well.
As usual, the photos and videos are up on flickr.
Day 7: Karuizawa
Day 8: Harajuku
The most interesting part might be the experience of taking a night train from Honshu to Hokkaido.
The cheap seat-only carts (like this one) were filled by mostly tourists, whereas the couchettes (bed carts) were occupied by locals. I had no problem sleeping on the reclined seat, but it got uncomfortably cold at night and I had to wrap myself in pants (didn’t bring a jacket).
How to go to Hokkaido with a JR Pass:
17:56 - 21:00 東京 Tokyo => 八戶 Hachinohe
21:17 - 22:18 八戶 Hachinohe => 青森 Aomori
22:45 - 06:07 青森 Aomori => 札幌 Sapporo
It’s not exactly fun, but that’s the cheapest way to do it since it’s fully covered by the JR Pass. Plus I got to save money on a night of accommodation. Now that I have done it once, I might do it again.
Arriving Sapporo at 6 a.m. was harsh, but I will save that for the next post.
Siuyee’ s Tan Tan Noodle. Available 7 days a week, unlike Tony’ s. Messing with the gradient filter in Lightroom 2. Don’t really know how to use it yet.
Google accidentally announced their browser, Chrome, today. We should see it tomorrow.
0 to 1 bedroom apartments that cost more than $2000/month. Not even in Downtown and not any bigger than my current place.
I have been using EverNote to take notes (mostly snapshots) on my iPhone. Useful for apartment hunting. You don’t need an iPhone to use it (Windows, Mac, Online, iPhone, Windows Mobile).
Pretty busy today. Went to downtown twice today for errands and still forgot to buy dinner. Can eel is a new low.
If you have an iPhone, try Shazam (free) for the OMGITWORKS factor.
