Thoughts about the GH1 so far
Short version: I love it. Long version: Ease of use: It was personally quite easy to pick up and use it for me. I’ve been messing up my pictures by fooling around with the aperture, shutter, ISO, and white balance settings on my point and shoot for years. In preparation for the GH1, I actually went and read up on how to NOT mess up pictures with those settings, so I’ve been...

Just when everyone thought it was getting warmer (and people began changing back to summer tires), a BLIZZARD comes. Been playing with my GH1 in between being actually kind of busy! Even got featured on Engadget!

I went to a Johnny's concert
I was given tickets to 20th Century (the older three members of the group V6) by a friend (who had ALSO received the tickets unwittingly, but had an actual excuse to not go see the show), so I roped in my Johnny’s-loving friend and we saw the show today. Hands-down, the most hilarious thing I’ve seen in Japan to date. However, rather than relate to you the nitty-gritty details that...

Obviously, having Tumblr blocked at work does...
HI NETIZENS! LONG TIME NO SEE!! …Unless you follow my exploits via moral-degrading beer goggles Twitter. OR unless you don’t count three days as that long a time period… tomaytoes, tomahtoes. Anyway, having Tumblr blocked at work is really bugging me. So I’m considering the alternatives: Crawl back to the comforting arms of Wordpress and snuggle up to the safety of the...

I'm setting myself up for disappointment... I just...
Yesterday, I noticed that the camera I have been wanting since last fall was finally up for preorder on several Japanese sites. After pondering this fact for about 15 minutes, I went ahead and preordered one. HOPEFULLY, I’m one of the first 5000 people who thought to do this, because they’re only manufacturing 5000 of these a month and I really would like to go ahead and just give the...

Where's my comment, PC World?
Dear PC World, AH-HA!! I have caught you in your treacherous cycle of lies and deceit!! In a recent article about the Panasonic Lumix GH1, you were mistaken about the Japanese MSRP (there is no Japanese MSRP) and kit lens focal length (NOT 45-200. 14-140!). I posted a comment on the above-mentioned article, informing you of this oversight and even providing a link to proof, but when I went to...

Gesundheit!
Whenever I say “gesundheit” to a coworker, she hears “rezon pan” (raisin bread) instead. I like the idea of wishing bread upon her itchy sinuses.

I hate how people in OTHER parts of Japan are talking about spring and cherry blossoms. It is SNOWING today here.

Japan doesn’t do April Fool’s, but this certainly SEEMS like an April Fool’s joke… NO ONE is in the office today.
