fastladder, the new RSS reader

Livedoor Reader, the japanese leading RSS reader on web, is now available in English!
it was available only in Japanese and you need "livedoor ID", a universal ID on livedoor service (it's like Yahoo! ID) to use the Livedoor Reader service. the English-nized service is named "fastladder. You can use it in English! even they don't look really fulent at English, it's still useful! ;-)

Livedoor Reader, the orginal service of Fastladder started their serivce before the bloglines did. It has been improved its functions day by day for a long term, so Fastladder is a newbie, but not just another one!

fastladder is faster than bloglines is, and also has more convenient functions than bloglines has, for example, you can place pins on articles you are interested in, and you can browse articles with pins later. why do you still use bloglines? go to better one ;-)

SOBA BOKKOU

SOBA BOKKOU Originally uploaded by kenic.

i had soba today. do you know soba? soba is a kinda noodle, traditional japanse one. i like it. it's quite simple and tastes good, but it's not very easy to find a good one here in okayama. generally said, udon is common in west japan, soba is in east japan. but if you try you sometimes find one gives you satisfaction somehow. YUMMY!

wireless mighty mouse

i bought a new mouse. but this mouse has no tail. um. it's the new wireless mighty mouse, it works via bluetooth. the shape is almost same as the normal mighty mouse except the point of the "tail". it uses one or two AAA batteries, even it works with two of them, the weight is not too heavy, but just an acceptable weight. i like it, you should buy one also ;-)

ぶっかけうどん

とろろぶっかけ.

well, i write all about foods everyday... :P this is udon called ぶっかけ, it has lesser soup than normal udon. it can be serve hot or cold. you know, ぶっかけ is not a X rated word, there is another word to mean "ぶっかけ" here in japan. i can't write it here you know, it's a public place...if you want to know what it is, just call me. anyway, i like ぶっかけうどん, it's always yummy. this kinda udon is called sanuki udon from kagawa ken. here okayama ken is next to kagawa ken so it's easy to find nice udon shops.

i had a lunch today at "the meshiya" means "the food shop". it's like buffe you take foods you need by youserlf. the main customers looked like construction workers, probably they feel easy this kinda place. today's foods are: saba, tofu, okra, iwashi and sushi. about 900yen. tastes not bad.
