The point of this seminar is “Days of Google will end, and days of Facebook will start.” Although I have thought so for some time, I felt confident it.

Weather we like it or not, because Facebook has preference dates of 500 million, days of Facebook coming is clear. About ten years later, people will use Google like wikipedia to search basic information, and if they wanna know trustful knowledge and ideas, they will choose facebook Liked ones.

Do Google add free Facebook dates to Google’s search algorithm? I don’t know, but Google’s power will be down, down, down.

I’ll keep to focus on Facebook news.

In Japan, the goverment promised to give every Japanese 12000yen(about 120$) for an economic policy. And my city started to pay its money in May. I got it! So, for the first time in about a decade, I bought new basketball shoes. Did I contribute to an economic policy? :-P

This shoes is made by Asics. Do you know Asics? Asics is a famous brand for basketball shoes. Asics shoes isn't more cool(cooler?) than NIKE ones, but they are very functionable and reasonable. I love it.

I'm looking forward to use this shoes at a next basketball game. :-)

Today is my birthday. I became 26 years old. I received a lot of birthday e-mail messages from friends. Thanks a million!

I went drinking with my wife tonight, and we toasted a birthday with Belgian beers(1st pic) and Yakitori there. Especially Tsukune which is a kind of Yakitori was very delicious.(2nd pic) We had a nice time.

After drinking, I received a surprise gift by her. It was a picture-book. But it wasn't normal. It was blank! Have you ever seen a blank picture-book? The book is a base to make a picture-book. So I'll try draw a funny story on it. And I'll gave her a finished book next time. :-p

Today, users of "Kartepost.com" which we manage was more than 10. It has 11 users, and there are 45 personal experiences about disease. It took about one month until now.

Because we think that it's important to celebrate for reaching a small goal, we toasted it with a good glass of whisky. I felt special taste.

In next, when users are more than 30, we are going to celebrate like this. :-)

Firstly, Xoops has a lot of modules. We can add them after Xoops is installed. So we can add various functions. For example, bbs, chat, blog, mailform, user register system and wikipedia. It is available to add every almost functions that we want to use.

Secondly, Xoops is open-source. It is improved by engineers around the world day by day. It's so great! I appreciate them. I love open-sourse.

If you want to make community websites, I strongly recommend you Xoops. :-)

Now I'm making a social network website. The name is "Kartepost.com". Kartepost.com's users can share thier experiences of disease. If we share a lot of experiences, many many people will relieve from their anxieties and worries about disease.

Of course, users may only look at other experiences. But I know that many patients who experienced serious disease want to help new other patients. I believe their goodwill.

Kartepost.com haven't coverd except Japanese yet, in the future I want to cover various langage users. :-)

I met again with a univercity friend. Although it was the first time in five years, I didn't feel that it was so long ago. We talked each other's job.

She works in travel agency. She is very active and has passion to satisfy customers, and her result of sales is better than one of other coworkers.

But, because her company has old personal system, she isn't appreciated enough by the company. This is so wasteful! If she works company has a fair treatment, certainly she will be able to get better salary and chances to move up.

Now she is finding a new job while working there. I hope it's success. :-)

Yesterday was our 5th anniversary. I presented my wife with a flower arrangement. She looked like pretty happy.

I think almost every woman likes a gift. It isn't important its size, is it? :-P

When we take a direct lighting, we'll be active. The other way, when we take a indirect lighting, we can feel lelax and get creativity.

So I put on two indirect fittings in the corner of my bedroom. Because I didn't have a time to buy a new light, I used a light that I covered with a orange paper. They aren't enough good yet. I'll add good one and I want my bedroom more comfortable for night.

How do I use indirect lights effectively? Is there indirect fittings in you room?

I went to a restaurant for celebrating our 5th anniversary. It's possible to eat a famous fried shrimp there. I have to go eating it with my parents from being child. My wife hadn't visit there yet, so I was really happy to take her.

The fried shrimp is very big(Look at pictures!) and a white sauce with dish is really delicious taste. I haven't know more delicious one ever.

We had a good time. ^_^

So I went to cafe in hospital with my business partner. (We were very fine. :-p) There were a lot of people and noises, smells, lights. It was very unusual zone. Various things excited our brain! We sparked up many many ideas.

If you have troubles in thinking ideas, let's go un-usual zone.

When we negatively think a lot of things, our mind will be fulled by horor and unbelief, angry,,,etc. We will draw bad effects. Bad effects will change our thinking to more negative. This is a bad circle. :-(

Meanwhile, thinking risks for future is needed for business person. When we think our risks for future, we can protect yourself from them and take next actions to get good results in future.

So I always try to keep thinking risks for future and invest myself with optimist. I think this is one of short way to reach a goal.

You may think it's normal. But many Japanese pay money without words.

I think it's important to have a thankful feeling when we use money.

I haven't run a half-marathon yet. So I've been jogging a few times a week. The distance of a jogging is about 4 miles(6.5 km) in 40 minutes.

If I keep training, certainly, I will be able to finish in race!

In "smart.fm", we can learn English likely playing games. I think it's very important to learn a foreign langage. If studying every day is funny, we can learn speedy and stress-free.

I started a business with my friends in August 2006. My business is a internet service. We make useful websites and gain an advertising revenue.

Now we are making “Kartepost.com”. This is a website which user can share experience of disease for relieving anxieties and worries.

I hope this service is useful and successful :-)

After installing this, when you put mouth pad on the word, meaing and sound of word is apperad. It's very useful for people who study English.

This is free soft. So if you study English, you should install this soft.

In this tournament, Korean team is powerful than Japanese one. The reason which they always swing powerfully is introducing a ball used WBC at the tournament in Korea. I think this Korean challenge is really clever to win in the national game.

Why don't Japan use a ball used WBC? The reason is clear. Japanese ball used game is light. So owners of japanese teams want players to hit many homers in games.

But this is silly. If Japanese team don't use a international ball, in next WBC they won't be able to win. Japan have to learn the lessons from Korean strongly swing.
