Hulu

Hulu started its service in Japan.
Hulu is an on-demand video streaming company.

It's good because they have a lot of america drama contents with Japanese subtitles.

I contracted and my wife watches it all day.

As a technology I am interested in the way to be useable/switchable with any watching devices such as TV, PC, iPad, iPhone, etc. When you pause the video during the watch, you can start/continue it from that point/moment with another device. Convenient.

Another point is the video compression quality. I use ADSL in my home and the line is very slow but I can watch the video on TV. I can't believe it because most of other streaming services need more video rate.

Happy new year from Lily

New year's greeting from Lily, our sweet dog.

Reading newspaper

I usually don't read newspaper but just check news on the website.

But every year I read them only during the new years holiday.

It is fun to read several papers at a time because we can know their journalism or edit policy, and can check what newspaper tells the truth.

Present from my family

My sister and her family gave me lots of presents from US.

They were mixture of the Christmas and the new year.

I'm very happy anyhow!

Going to shrine

It is Japanese important habit to go shrine on the beginning of the new year.

This year all my families are coming to my mom's house from overseas.

Good to see ya!

I renewed a frying pan.

The old one (left) has been used for years and the bottom is warped and the handle is loosen.

The new one (right) is thick but light.
