My new keyboard is the ThinkPlus with UltraNav (TrackPoint) as it is called in Japan.  In other countries is just called ThinkPad Full-Size UltraNav USB Keyboard. I bought this keyboard new on Yahoo Auctions and am using it with OSX.  I’ve been eyeing a ThinkPlus/UltraNav keyboard for a long time but they have been a little pricey at around 9500 Yen (~95USD)  I managed to get this one for 4980 Yen, possibly because most Japanese people were put off by it being a US English layout keyboard. The reason is that I love my ThinkPad keyboards is the TrackPoint.  The trackpoint is just so handy as unlike a touchpad you never have to move your hands off the keyboard.  And the middle button works for scrolling. So basically the ThinkPlus is the ThinkPad...

If you are looking for a webcam for your mac mini then this might be the solution for you. The problem with the mac mini is that it doesn’t have a microphone socket so what you really need is a webcam with a built-in USB mic. And that is exactly what the Logitech S7500 (also known as the QuickCam Communicate Deluxe) has. Let me run down the hardware specs of the S7500 1.3 Megapixel resolution 30fps video Glass lens RightLight2 Manual focus Privacy shutter USB mic built in UVC If you are using this webcam with Windows then the last feature Universal Video Class isn’t that important because it has a full driver suite.

Happy Hacking Keyboard is known as a great keyboard for programmers and three of our team members use it. Mine is HHK Lite 2 English Black, Ice’s one is HHK Lite 2 Japanese White, Har’s one is HHK Lite 2 Egnlish White. I used it for the last 2 years and thought yes it’s the best keyboard ever, if you want a small one especially you use it with Emacs or Vi. Definitely, the professional version is much more comfortable but it’s REALLY expensive. Someday I want it. OK. I said it’s great. But only one thing I can’t stand for the HHK. It’s a location of “~” mark. It’s on right top of HHK and ESC is on left top. It always confuse me when I switched from build in keyboard on MacBook Pro to HHK. To prevent this...

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2. It’s the sequel to the “Dynasty Warriors: Gundam”. In “Dynasty Warriors” series, we always beat enemies up rhythmically. This Gundam one too. But there are so many more actions you can do in this one than another series cos you’re controlling Gundams. Not so many patterns of fighting commands but there’s a certain thrill when using the boost up command. MAs and huge MSs are too hard to beat for beginners. It’s not for someone who want to beat enemies up rhythmically. It probably fun for you to find out how to beat the huge MSs but once you find it, it becomes a bit boring. You can get items from enemies when you beat them and use it to build up your machines. It’s fun but it makes...
