One step away from being selfsufficient. Well maybe a few steps…

It’s funny how every year right at Easter the magnolia trees bloom and drop the husks from the flowers which happen to look like little baby rabbit scalps.

One intersting thing about not using your blog for a while is the build up of comment spam waiting approval. When there is a lot like I had you can see the changes in methods they are using. Latest ones seems to have excerpts from novels that have random links to whatever they are spamming about. Annoying but interesting.

Nice to have a long weekend and try to get things sorted out and organized. When you’re surrounded by technology to make your life easier, it’s surprising that it feels like more of a mess.

Spent much of the weekend trying to get things working together and up to date. I haven’t blogged for ages and thought it would be good to try and post things once in a while.

I picked up three different pens for the iPhone from Yodobashi camera in Umeda.

The first one was from a company called Princeton and cost about $15. This pen had a great feel and design but took quite a bit of pressure to actually use.

The next one from Sanwa supply was about $14. This one uses a different material on the bottom. The design was okay, similar to the Princeton. This one also required a bit to get used to, and seems to require quite a bit of pressure to use.

The last pen is from Ray-Out. This one worked the best and was the cheapest at $13. The pen’s design was very simple and the diameter of the tip was quite large. The use seemed a little more natural then the other two, though maybe there is a better technique of using these pens that I haven’t figured out yet.

Overall these pens were not as useful as I was hoping. Fingers are way more responsive and a lot faster then the pens but I’ll keep trying them to find a better technique.

Back in Japan, so thought I’d get the blog going to post what I find.
