Weekly revue: 2012 week #31 (July 28 to August 3)
Well I turned 34! I prefer to write 0x22 though. :)
Food: - On a hot weekend afternoon we went to line up at recently opened kakigōri (shaved ice) shop Niccori~na in Sasazuka. I had one of strawberries and condensed milk. It was quite big but it takes almost no time to eat. :)
- As a birthday present a few days early, I was taken to Ukai Toriyama in Takao. Ukai is a Japanese restaurant, and the branches in Takao have really nice gardens, plus it's the right season to see fireflies there! We saw a lot! The food was very good too of course!
- Also I had the best birthday cake, a homemade black forest cake (my favorite!) :) It was delicious of course!
New music: - novaFASE new digital EP "Opportunities" from Flawless World! While novaFASE (unit of Tanaka Tomonao and Groove Unchant) aren't really back, these are some brand new 2012 mixes! Some of the most fun danceable stuff I've heard of late! In promotion, there are also two bonus remixes up on Tremorela's SoundCloud that you can download for free.
Music release news: "WIRE12 Compilation", Takahashi Yukihiro tribute album (O/S/T & more!), Sawagi, Yellow Magic Orchestra, COMA*
Playlist: hitomitoi, esu-efu, Nomiya Maki, Scooters, Takanami Keitaro to Playtime Rock meets Shibata Kenichi, dahlia, Vanilla Beans, "Dekawanko Original Soundtrack", Teams, ...
Tech: - I made a userscript (aka Greasemonkey script) that can be used with Firefox and Chrome. It adds a "mixi Check" button to Flickr's photo pages, together with the other share options. If you're a mixi user please give it a try! :) Instructions are here.
- Also I noticed that my very old Flickr photos on this blog were all broken. Turns out that Flickr's very old domains (photos##.flickr.com) are out of order. Rest of story hidden, click here to read it...
