Making Chopsticks

Joined a workshop "making your own chopsticks" presented by Mr. Saburo Koga.

You have to rely which wood you will use on instinct to make a decision.
Mr. Saburo said the wood's character would be like yours.

My choice was "Red Wood" which cut off in 80 years ago.
80 years ago..so the wood has grown in very nice atmosphere like no acid precipitate at all. the wood was very soft and easy to make chopsticks.(so what character is that? lol)

Afterwords, we ate their organic bento as lunch with our own chopsticks.

This workshop is available from more than 5 people. Mr. Saburo Koga teaches very fair and softly.

iGoogle Design

I finally created iGoogle theme by my own!!

http://www.google.com/ig/directory?hl=ja&url=www.synapse.ne.jp/aya/IMAGES/google/welcom2.xml&type=themes

I thought it was very difficult to make xml file, but it was not. Here is the instruction : http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/themes/docs/dev_guide.html

The header image, logo, text colors, and more can all change throughout the day based on time of day, which is called "a dynamic theme". I didn't set it up this time, but I will!!

The Flip Design

A friend of mine recommended me this "The Flip" video camcorder. I always wanted to have a camcorder and my sony digital camera just got broken, so I am thinking to buy one.
(the flip cannot take still pictures tho, can get capture from movies you take.)

I found one at Amazon.com for $30 cheaper, but I wanted to do design by my own!

I can't wait to have thisssssss!!!! :0
