In Dreams
I first encountered 955 Dreams about a year ago when I came across a magical iPad app called The History of Jazz. When I sat down with co-founder Kiran Bellubbi to talk about the app for a TechCrunch story, it was immediately apparent that his vision extended far beyond just one beautiful app.
I kicked off my story with something he said to me: “The shallow experience for a user has to be very interesting. The deep experiences have to be profound.” In the app-crazy world we live in, it’s not uncommon to hear developers attempt to get philosophical. But with Bellubbi, I totally bought it.
And my instinct about Bellubbi and co-founder T.J. Zark proved correct. They followed up The History of Jazz with the equally brilliant On The Way To Woodstock. Both apps got Apple’s seal of approval in the form of App of the Week accolades.

With the looming price increase, a 25% jump on all Kodak products, there were several people in Yodobashi Camera tonight stocking up now to save money later. I chatted with Shinya Arimoto about this earlier in the day- he suggested to offset the increase by shooting 25% less- instead of taking four shots of something only take three. He laughed and said that this is probably impossible though. Arimoto shoots a lot of Kodak film (T-Max) and like me uses Kodak HC-110 to develop his negs. Unlike me however, he orders his 20 bottles at a time.)
Keep in mind the people in the image above are not ”hoarding” out of fear that all Kodak films will disappear tomorrow. Kodak says that their film business is profitable. Let’s hope it stays that way.

Okay, this is really fucking cool. It’s what the Internet is all about. Nice work Facebook and Bing.

これは結構ありがちな罠だよねー。もしも本当に子供にプログラミングさせたかったら、今の時代はWindowsやOSXの最新版が動作しないような古いマシンを与えて、OSXならターミナルのみを使用させるとか、PCマシンならLinuxを入れて、自分でコンフィグレーションをやらせないと今は無理だと思う。もうパソコンはプログラミングの道具である必要すらなくなってきた時代だから。
僕のところの上の息子については、この「ハードコア」教育とArduinoのモジュールを好き勝手に買い与えたことが効果を産んで、日常的にvimを使ってPythonやCでコーディングをするようになった。まあ、僕が職業プログラマであるという環境がかなり効いているのはもちろんだし、それ以上に子供の性格や嗜好にもかなり依存していると思う。どんなに環境を整えてやっても下の娘はダメそう…。

これか、噂の橋下 VS 山口は。うーん、山口氏ズダボロだな…。「学者」なのにどうして最低限の勉強もしてこないのだろうか。自分で持ちだした犬山市の例でも自爆しているし、調書人事などの教育現場の権力の源泉がどこにあるのか知らないのに教育行政に口を出して橋下氏の政策を批判していたなんてな。
山口二郎氏って学問の世界で何年も大した業績がないのに、たまたまコネで民主党の政策ブレーンばかりやって、最近はコンサル商売だけで名を売っていた人なんだよな。政治や権力構造を研究する政治学者のはずが、いつの間にか政治活動をやる「学者」（つまり肩書きだけが括弧付きの学者）になっているという、かなりイタイ大学教員に過ぎない。批判をする対象の勉強も疎かにしてノコノコと公の場に出てきてしまうような、自尊心だけは大きいが、そこらのオッサンと変わらない勉強不足の人なんだよ。
つまり、研究を行う学者としてはある意味最低スペックの人物なのに、こういう人物が学者代表としてテレビに出て、一人で勝手に地雷を踏んだ挙句、勢いのある橋本氏から「学者なんてナーンにも知らないんですよ。税金で喰っているのに関わらず身分が保障されていて、ただくっちゃべっていりゃいいお気楽な商売なんですよ」なんて大きな声で言われる弊害は甚大だと思う。
山口氏はこれに懲りて、政治活動をやる「学者」や政治通の「学者」風評論家ではなく、しばらくは蟄居して政治学者として再起してもらいたいものだ。それをせず、またぞろ勉強不足のままノコノコ出てくるとしたら、それは本当に終わってると思うな。

Konica Hexar RF with M-Hexanon 35mm f2 lens
Photographer: Haruna Sato
She bought this camera from ERIC, who told me yesterday he purchased it new. Knowing how and how much he shoots I asked about the amount of wear on the body when I showed him this picture yesterday and he said the only place paint was missing was along the edge of the camera on the left side of the lens. Haruna herself is a fine photographer and puts out zines of her work. You can see a little bit about these here.
She’s also a member of Kaido Gallery in Asagaya.

1984 Honda RS750D
Powered by a XLV750R based engine, this machine was specially built for flat-track racing. Factory Honda rider, Bubba Shobert, beat rival Harley Davidson to win the #1 plate in 1984. These machines were so superior that the AMA made them use carburetor restrictors to slow them down. Honda withdrew from the series soon after. These machines appear occasionally at racetracks and continue to be competitive.

石川逸子というかたの詩も素朴で胸をうちます。
その一つは、年老いた祖母が孫娘の手をしっかりと握った森の中のいちまいで。どこにも行くあてはないから
廃村でくらしています
孫娘の無事をただ祈っています
黙っているおばあさんの胸のなかに
あふれる涙

Hayata Camera store window, Asakusa
When you come to Tokyo, make sure to visit Asakusa. And in Asakusa, don’t forget to stop by a special little camera shop: Hayata Camera
The google cameras have yet to pass the storefront, but it is straight down this street and on your left.
