What was your first concert?

I believe that was Extreme in Yokohama Arena. IIRC that was after the release of their masterpeace "3 sides to every story".

Super size me and 30 days

Super Size Me

Tonight I've been watching the movie "Super Size Me" and succeeding "30 days all night" series on the Cable TV. So far I watched 30 days anti-aging and 30 days living with Israms, both of which are fun.

Now it's 4:40 am but on the air is "30 days living with gay in San Francisco". This must be the funniest I guess ...

Sushi Manner video

Sushi manner

This was linked from my LJ entry while ago and I think it'd be pretty cool to migrate it over Comet just like Mena did.

In this video Yann, Garth and Beau tried to mimick the famous Sushi manner Video thing which was found on Google Video a couple of months ago. Funny.

YouTube rocks

スプーのえかきうた - はいだしょうこ vs 今井ゆうぞう

Testing YouTube video support! Looks great.

My favorite season...

My fave is fall in Japan. And I hate summer in San Francisco most.

Well, this qotd reminds me that spring in Japan this year is all crazy. It's been cold all the time since March to early May, then this week it looks like started the rainy season. Hate it.

This Beatle is the best Beatle...

I like Ozzy. Ozzy Osbourne.

Tetris DS ID microformat

My tetris DS friend code is 333059-696984. Similary to mario kart DS ID microfomat I marked up this entry with the following microformat:

<span class="tetris-ds-id">333059-696984</span>

Yeah, I am thinking about using Plagger to aggregate my friends' Tetris DS ID and export to some data format :)

Which country ...

I actually did it yesterday, and it was UK. I did it again today and here it is ... USA! That's so weird.

Which country should you REALLY be living in?

United States of America

You're an American through and through. You like the idea of liberty and freedom, and enjoy watching the odd ball game with your trusty weener bun and your bud light. Sweet, dude.

Best badguy ever.

Johnny Depp in "Pirates of Caribbean."

My horse: Blooming Snow

the Kentucky Derby post reminds me to post about my horse. Well actually it's not my horse but I just own 1/40 ownership of the horse.

Her name is Blooming Snow. She's 3 years old and so far in the past two races, she got no win but was on 2nd and 3rd. In the 2nd she got a slight damage in her leg(s) and has been taking a rest. But she was back in the training and will appear in the next weeknd, in Kyoto race course.

I hope she is gonna win this time!

Plagger update: Planet and microformats (XOXO)

I've been a little lazy not updating recent  Plagger development. Don't mind. It doesn't mean Plagger development has been squeezed, but it's actually still very hot.

Looks like Planet Planet added Atom support recently. Plagger also has a nice Planet publisher plugin Casey wrote for ETech 2006 and thanks to a nice design of Plagger plugin system, it's damn easy to add Atom/RSS/OPML output in combination with Planet output.

Today I added another fancy Subscription module called Subscription::XOXO. It tries to get XHTML and extract subcription list using XOXO microformats. This is pretty nice, because someone can update their source of "interesting links to Perl hackers" for example, and you can use that single XHTML entry as a source of your subscription.

You can create Planet out of the subscription, or create OPML feed so that your favorite RSS aggregator can synchronize out of XOXO links. Sweet!

Another very interesting plugin created these days is Search::Estraier (screenshot). It uses a pretty fast search engine Hyper Estraier  and its P2P node API to index entries aggregated by Plagger. Nice example of usage of this module will be: 1)create your own Blog Search with Subscription::PingServer + Aggregator::Xango 2) aggregate all entries from the web containing certain keyword using Subscription::Planet, then index it for later search to be used as a Knowledge Base, like this Plagger KB.
