Various Distractions

The latter part of the week was largely uneventful.

Today, I went to Ueno with Vito-san. I bought a new backpack. Ueno must be the かばん (kaban; bag) capitol of Tokyo, as there were an insane number of stores specializing in backpacks, handbags, and suitcases of various kinds. I found one where everything was on sale for 1050 yen an item (a little less than $10). The backpack I bought is not quite as good as my old one was, but it will do.

I've spent a bit of spare time on the computer playing around with user CSS. I was able to get Fark to bend to my will, but I found that Amazon still uses tables for their layout, with hardly an element ID in sight. (Are there any other websites that successful that are as poorly designed?)

I also made a map of my commute because Google Maps is addictive so you can take a look at my neighborhood and school from above.

I started my marketing research project on Wednesday, and I'm hoping I'll be able to make major progress on that tomorrow.

There's an IES side trip to Okinawa next Wednesday-Saturday. Time is really flying by...

Yes, google maps can help us show a great experience in a safe and non-addicting way.
