Like my mate said, Jack Nicholson’s portrayal of The Joker now seems like a joke.

BTW, do any Japan-hands know about a regional expat mag for Nagoya? Something Kansai Time Out or Metropolis for the Chubu region?

I love Kansai-ben. I ask my wife what she is doing tomorrow and she sings to be:「蟹カン買いに行かんアカン！」(“I have to go buy canned crab”)

Haven’t got mine yet @darintenb, but I heard that installing apps over the air can cause crashes. Install only from iTunes.

OR people sign up at the lower price, but end up using more because that is how psychology of economics works: short-term gains over long.

Either the Japanese aren’t using data as much as SB projected, or SB thinks more people will sign up at the lower price to offset.

Softbank just “lowered” their rates for the iPhone: http://ping.fm/4pOcO @Durf is always on top of iPhone news.

since you tend not to write long posts, I would say get something with a fixed, narrow width for the entry area.

FOCUS, Part 1: Just pared down my RSS feeds from about 100 to 29. About half of those 29 are only updated about once a month.

The hospital had a cemetery on one side, and a MacDonald’s on the other. Either way, not very reassuring.

Also, I think the guys who designed the new Delicious are the same guys who did The Guardian.

It is 37˚C degrees out… no wind… muggy… the air is oppressive… for a city of 2 million there are surprising few out on the street…

Dude, you already know what I’m going to say. Do you prefer the white or the black?

2 problems with new Delicious: color scheme is too light, and the bookmarklet no longer shows a tag cloud. Otherwise, I like it.

I really want to see “Evolve: Eyes” but can’t find it anywhere online.

Mother-in-law’s hysterectomy was successful. The wife got to see the uterus that she came out of. Not many people can say that, eh.

Back from getting alternatively soaked and scorched in Kyoto. It was good to see old friends again and relive the glory days.

Of to Kyoto to take a group of rowdy foreigners around Nijo Castle and Kiyomizu Temple in the scorching heat. Back to Nag tomorrow night.

Oh @ourmanintokyo, YLNT is the shiznit. I wish I could use a Latte Name here. For the Japanese, maybe all gaijin names are Latte Names?

The racing scenes in _Speed Racer_ were amazing. The rest reminded me of _Dick Tracy_ (1990).

Do you speak Japanese? How would you support an iPhone app in Japanese? Is there much support even necessary? What about iTrans?
(original)

All in all pretty simple I would say. Too bad I am not a programmer.

“Show me the nearest station” would simply send you to the Maps app, GPS your current location and overlay a KMZ of stations within 1km.
(original)
-
Maps would simply be a collection of high-res downloadable maps (by city) that you could pinch zoom your way around like the Photo app.
(original)
-
Route Calculation would be like the Ekitan site where you input your start/end points and it give you routes, time and fees.
(original)
-
My Japanese transit app would have three modes: Route Calculation, Maps, and Nearest Station. I think http://ekitan.com would be the maker.
