  Music on the move

Everyone loves the Nintendo DS for its innovative game play and touchy feely family oriented games, but if the guys at Nintendo had thought of doing something like this, it would be a winner for all us budding on the move music composers.

Based on the old Amiga "Tracker" music making concept, the loading of wav samples and playing via an on screen keyboard, it seems the DS dual screens was almost designed for this purpose, the top screen showing "notation" arrangement and the touch screen for user controls and keyboard.

I'm off out to buy a CF/SD-Card so I can get this running on my DS ASAP.

CF/SD, DS, ASAP ? - I gotta cut down on my acronyms, they're raising my BP and TMTLA rate beyond EU health levels...

Somebody shoulda told the coordinators of this style magazine the other meanings of "wad" and "bagpiping" before publication.

  Old vs New - 新しい対古い

A picture I took while passing through Shibuya the other day: If anything represents the contrast of old and new in Japans housing standards, or perhaps even the mix of old and new in Japan's culture, it's these two houses - A rickety corrugated iron roofed and wooden shack, next to a primo built home with private garage.
