I am in Osaka too. If the schedule is good, I can join for the beer too.

Damn, I can't go. I have very few leave days left for this year at my day job.

Hi Bemmu, I am not sure if this will be of any help, but I have noticed there is a fashion trend among some young people, mostly girls, to dress like babies, you know with ping dre…

I also believe it is much worth to live with a strong faith in the good nature of people. However I believe one should not indulge in it. This faith is very precious and this is ex…

I read at a financial analysis, that Italy experienced the most massive capital escape of it's recent history, so it is not that _nothing_ has happened, only probably it happened "…

I do not agree with you. As far as I know, the loans did not involve collateral ( at least not until now ), so investors are just entitled profits from interest and have no claim o…

Yes, that is what I believe too. Independently of who is going to benefit from what will happen from now on, the Greek government will be forced sell everything that belongs to the…

No not THIS Friday, it is scheduled for, Jul 29th Fri at 7pm at the 2F of Shinsaibashi apple store. I am very sorry, the site is not updated yet (because I didn't have time to get …

I guess it is not a coincidence, but just in case that you don't know it already, patio11 is giving a talk at a presentation group we have here called "Design Matters", at the Osak…

Yes it is (at least for me it was). It has to do with the change of perspective. When traveling you usually curry your original perspective with you so it is kind of difficult to s…

This is so true. My current work as a system engineer implementing ERP systems for overseas affiliates, takes me often to work abroad (from Japan, that is) for a few weeks a time. …

Hi thanks for replying, I am in Kobe, close to Osaka. Do you ever come to Osaka, by any chance?

However it is amazing what an impact does living at a place away from were one grew up in have in the perception of the world. I had already traveled a lot ( as a tourist ) before …

To be honest, when I read the original idea behind the bitcoin, I was thrilled. I thought This Is It (TM). The monetary system, as it exists today is based on debt as a lever for g…

This is excellent indeed. Actually, it might come as a surprise but Greece seems to have a lot of public assets which would give it a much better clear position than many other cou…

For me this debate is the monumental evidence that when people get obsessed over something their intellectual openness shrinks to a very small dividend of pi, sorry I meant tau :)

It is not that simple. Have you ever wandered why counties do not have to issue balance sheets at the end of every fiscal year( or at least before every election) ? Do you understa…

An honest, yet a little bit provocative, question: The "mainstream" explanation regarding Greek dept is because Greeks are bon viveurs who spent all the money they could put their …

I guess it depends in how you measure those things. A quote I like is: "What one faces in his/her life is destiny. How he/she faces it is personal choice". We are what we make ours…

Thanks for the reply. To be honest I am not sure about the exact amounts that went to weapons(, nor "Siemens", nor the companies participating in the "Olympic miracle") but I am su…

Exactly. I will put a little more PF (political fiction) to make it a little bit more interesting: How about if your "friend" is a drinker and gambler, but happens to have a big fo…

Last year I've been working on an unconventional idea of mine: After a project at which I was the project manager, I get into a project managed by someone else, as a team member. T…

No he isn't. If ( just for the sake of the argument ) RMB replaces USD as the international currency base, US has absolutely nothing to back dollar value and prevent it from droppi…
