Cheers

drinking beer..I love Ebisu and Corona, which is a Mexican beer.
I also like Scotch and Sake(Nihonshu), but they are too strong to drink on weekdays!

I have to say I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge about cooliris.
I found out that there was an add-0n version of cooliris for Firefox.
So what I wrote before on this blog was not right. I have to admit cooliris is much cooler than I thought. It actually provides a way to browse websites. Shame on me!

So I finished writing about an add-on while I expressed my apology.
I just need to talk about one more.
What I would use if I was a Firefox user is Amazon Toolbar.(Unfortunately, I'm a Chrome lover. Chrome is way way way faster than any other browsers I've ever used and more stable than Firefox, which I think causes many problems with lots of extensions added.)
If I name the site that I most frequently visit, it will be Amazon.
Amazon is not just an online book store. It has a wide variety of products, which will be delivered within days unless it's an extraordinary occasion like now.
This incredibly fast delivery is not just because Amazon is great but thanks to the coolness of Japanese transport companies and transport system.
Perhaps you take this coolness for granted. Hell no. It's beyond what we can consider as ordinary. If you understand how lucky you are, you have to thank delivery men more than ever.
They risk their life to make sure delivery is done properly.

Anyway, I would use Amazon Toolbar. It makes it easy to jump to Amazon and to use Wishlist, which is like a bookmark for Amazon products.

I just remember I also have to write about what was covered in class.
First we looked at iGoogle. iGoogle is a highly customizable startpage.
I have used some other customizable startpage, but this is much better.
iGoogle provides a various type of gadgets, which can be added with a few clicks.
You can watch news, market data, pornographies, jokes...whatever you want!

After that, we tried tinyurl. This kind of service is very useful especially if you are a Twitter junkie. Twitter allows you to tweet only 140 characters, so you need to use this if you want to tweet URL and a comment about it at a time.

We also tried Picasa. Picasa is like an online photo album where you can share your pictures with your friends. All you need to know is share them with no one but your friends. If you don't, your pictures could be on 2ch or some other underground bulletin boards while you have no idea about it. Once they are on the web, they will "never" be retrieved or deleted. You have to keep this in mind unless you want to be very famous.
