'Autumn Gold'

The grounds of Tokyo University's Hongo campus are planted with ginkgo trees, known for their endurance and longevity, and the ginkgo has become the symbol of the university. The fallen leaves make a brilliant gold ground carpet these period.It's really gorgeous!!

Autumn is the most amazing season for me,I like sunshines of this season, and so delightful to see streets been adorned by yellow ginkyo leaves along the Hongo campus and some parks.

Sometimes, one just have to slow down…one’s footsteps to appreciate such peerless beauties.And I am glad that I am in a place that allows me to appreciate the changing of season and the wonderful sense of seeing things coming alive from their dormant stage right below my eyes.

何だよ？世の中悪いニュースしかないかな

I rarely watching televesion although my friend gave me one.When I need to know what's happening normally go thru articles in websites or mixi, a well known social networking service site in Japan.

Bleah!all isn't very well in the land of the rising sun.

And, when turn a channnel to look at the US elections. Everywhere I turn, every blog I see, is harping on how AWESOME Obama is.Obama is WORLD PEACE! He will shine his god-like beams upon this world!!

Anyway, I am apathetic about whatever man.
And truth be told, I do not give a shit about whether or not Iraq is going to continue being invaded.
If I don't believe in your religion, it means I am IGNORNANT?
It means that I don't know enough of it and that's why I don't believe in it?

hmmmm, enough of that,I hate reading news and get touch with such pseudo world.Meanwhile I'd rather hide in my little peaceful world.

ロウソクの芯

ロウソクの芯は主に綿糸で三つ編み芯状になっています。これは燃焼時、芯が外側にねじれ（曲がり）、焔の外側近くにいくようにするためです。こうすると酸素の補給が大きくなり、完全燃焼してススや糸くず等の燃えかすが出なくなります。三つ編み芯は画期的な発明品だったのです。

ロウソクの芯以外の部分に火を近づけても、燃焼しません。芯の部分に着火するまでにも少し時間がかかります。これは、芯にもみ込んだ固体ロウが溶けて液体となり、さらに蒸気（気体）になって初めて燃焼が始まるからです。芯の周囲のロウは溶けて液体となり、この液体が芯に上昇して燃焼を続けます。燃焼焔は放射状の直進光で、光（あかり）として周囲を照らします。

Today,I have participated The 25th International Communication Forum in Akihabara Convention Hall.Met my Korean Senpai from Chuo University in the forum.Suprisingly he has become a well known prof at Keio University .Hopefully I can be a pretty and well known prof in future.hhmmmm..

In general, this Symposium consisited of session both on the "information society" and on the media convergence" between broadcasting and telecommunications.
Regarding the media convergence, japanese Governement recently proposed to shift its regulatory structure in ICT sector from vertical structure to horizontal & layer-based one.

It also proposed to intergrate the current 9 IcT related laws, called Info-Communication Law. This regulatory reshuttle is seen in other contries too. They had examinined how different countries adapt the basically same technological phenomenon in different ways, in term of regulatory policy, business models and user behavior. This comparative perspective enrich our understanding of global deployment and evolution of the "information society".
