3November 19, 2012: It was a bright sunny day and I didn’t want to spend it indoors in front of a PC screen. Instead I rode my bicycle to a village at the foothills of Mt. Yahiko, about 33 kilometers from home, and walked to the top, the very summit of Yahiko Mountain which is 634 meters above sea level. It took me 2 hours to ride to Yahiko Village … Continue reading →

3I may be leaving Fedora Linux for good this time. Fedora 17’s added “features” were not a plus for me. Moreover, things that worked fine before became quirky. For example, switching to Japanese input using Ibus required me to press Ctrl + Space 3 or 4 times to make it work. Linux Mint Debian works instantly and gives me the added feature of merely pressing the Hankaku key (on Japanese … Continue reading →

The distance from home is about 280 kilometers, only half of the 560 kilometers to Osaka which I hitchhiked the previous week.

1This morning I was asked if I could extract the audio tracks of certain Youtube videos and make a compilation of them on an audio CD in order to listen to them using a CD player. “I don’t know how or if it’s even possible,” I replied. “Come on!” she said, “I know you can figure it out if you tried.” And so I was faced with another technical challenge. … Continue reading →
Dr. Kent Hovind is one of my heroes. He is now suffering what the Apostle Paul suffered for boldly proclaiming the Truth of the Creator and the message of Jesus Christ: Persecution resulting in imprisonment. Dr. Hovind urges creationists to define the word evolution before entering into a debate about Evolution verses Creation.
