Consider defeat …

by Takwann
“In Iaido we always win against enemies” performing a kata slowly or quickly, result is the same … We win. Of course we are alone fighting against imaginary opponents and the scenario (Riai) says we win. How could we loose ? I did not deeply thought about this but writing it down suddenly gave me a strange feeling. Why should we be so sure (reassured) of the encounter result if we really live the kata, if we really live in the moment ?

Limited Edition Rickshaw - Anthropologie.com

by karlcow

We're sorry. This product is no longer available. DETAILS While on a trip to India, some of our team flagged down a rickshaw for a spur-of-the-moment tour of the town. Inspired by the ride and feeling a bit whimsical, we decided to design our own set of wheels, with some very special touches like a collapsible kantha-fabric canopy, handlebar streamers, a bell for brrring-bringing on the bike path and even a headlight that illuminates when the pedals are cranked. An instant conversation starter on the road or on display, we'll bet you're whisked away on the adventure of a lifetime once you hop on - or into - our quixotic carriage. No two are exactly alike.

too bad!

LINHBERGH

by karlcow

Seeing how my gigantor black brick of light captureness sees a lot of usage on a professional level, I started shopping around for a camera to replace it on a day-to-day basis. I was searching for a new daily driver. Something not as big, or as douche looking as a DSLR. I was looking for a camera which I can take with me everywhere and not feel completely embarrassed carrying it around without get random strangers coming up to me asking about what camera I had, or feeling their eyes dirtily elevator-ing my red-ringed black cylinders. I needed something that was much smaller, shot roughly the same quality as a small bodied DSLR and maybe even pocketable.

Oliver Reichenstein - Google+ - Beyond my Social Media Waterfalls After a couple of weeks…

by oseres (via)
After a couple of weeks using Google+, Twitter and facebook at the same time, I start feeling that all three work pretty well next to each other, in parallel, or more precisely, in waterfalls: I connected my Google+ account to Twitter, my Twitter account to facebook. Like this: Google+ --> Twitter --> facebook Whatever I post on Google+ will be posted on Twitter and facebook, whatever I post on Twitter will be posted on facebook, but not the other way around. The rationale is:

Baby Sleeping Problems and Its Solutions

by personmark
Baby sleeping problems are common during the first few moths after delivery as they are easily startled and have short sleep cycles – from light sleep to deep sleep and then back to light sleep again – which usually takes 50 to 60 minutes, therefore your baby normally wakes up every after an hour or even less. This is actually not a problem; rather, this is normal. However, baby sleeping problems may indicate a physical problem, which may prompt you to visit your pediatrician for a consultation. The Real Problems and the Solutions The inability of your baby to sleep well at night may be because of the environment –the noise, the smell, as well as the ambience matters! Babies are very sensitive beings. They may be unable to see or may be able to but not as clear as that of the adults, thereby allowing their other senses to work more keenly. If the environment does not have very good ventilation or does have a bad smell, the baby may not be able to sleep well, even adults for that matter! Also, if the surrounding is noisy, how will you be able to sleep, right? A very good environment conducive for sleeping must therefore be provided. Babies who are soaked wet with their diapers on are not able to sleep well. It is therefore right to check their diapers if it is full, making the babies feel uncomfortable. It is important to change them immediately in order not to disturb or cut short their sleep. There are also instances when babies get to feel too cold or too warm, making babies wake up in the middle of the night. The best thing to do is to provide warmth when she is cold, and to provide good ventilation if she feels warm. Simply put, just be there beside your baby during her sleep and make her feel comfortable all throughout the night. And more often than not, the reason why babies get to be awaken in the middle of the night is hunger. They have little tummies to fill their little amount of milk and food into, thereby making them feel hungry more often than adults. It is for this reason that feeding of the babies must be done every after 2 hours. Furthermore, babies may feel pain that is why they cannot sleep well during the night. If all of the above problems have been checked and nothing seems to satisfy the baby, maybe she is in pain. This should prompt you to visit your medical practitioner for consultation. Middle of the Night Awakening – A Survival Instinct of the Babies! There is also a good side on why babies awaken in the middle of the night. Since babies cannot communicate their needs yet, it is through waking up in the middle of the night and crying that they are able to deliver to you their message that they are either hungry, already soaked wet or feeling cold or warm. If they are not able to wake up in the middle of the night and not trouble you, how else would you know that they are hungry or that they needed something, right? Baby sleeping problems may not be problems at all but a message that your baby wanted you to receive. It is for this reason that you must rather be more thankful that your baby is trying to wake you up in the middle of the night than not at all! Your baby wanted to survive, so help her survive, not just through the night but through her entire life.

Ki Musubi No Tachi | Takemusu Aikido South Africa | Aikido South Africa

by Takwann
“All Aikido techniques begin with blending movements. Tai-jutsu, the ken and jo techniques all begin with blending movements. This type of movement represents the essence of Aikido. We can learn this important principle through practice of the ken. We both raise our swords above our heads, matching movements. We have the feeling of absorbing the ki of the universe and we attempt to cultivate a mushin or self-less state in the same way as in zazen seated meditation. As his strike comes, I move off to the right and counter-strike. When he tries to raise his sword to attack me, I thrust him from below by matching his movement. Then, I avoid his strike moving to the left and strike him. He steps backward to raise his sword and I match his movement, cutting him at the wrist.” – Morihiro Saito Sensei

eReaderJoy: Adam Engst on iPad and ereaders

by night.kame

People go on about how the Kindle is great because there are no other distractions and because you can read it in direct sunlight and whatnot, but my feeling is that they're really saying "I'm avoiding the iPad because I don't want to be seen as slavishly buying everything Apple releases."

C'est ça le fanboyisme : ne pas pas reconnaître des arguments parfaitement valides parce qu'on a oublié tout rationalisme.

Book Review - Finishing The Hat - By Stephen Sondheim - NYTimes.com

by jeanruaud
The book “Finishing the Hat” becomes a metaphor for that feeling of joy, the little squirt of dopamine hitting the brain when the artist creates a work of art. It’s a feeling so addictive the artist is willing to forgo love in order to experience artistic bliss. It could be a metaphor for Sondheim’s love of songwriting. “Finishing the Hat” — a fascinating compilation of lyrics, commentary and anecdotes, covering the years 1954 to 1981 — is essentially about process, the process of writing songs for theater.

The truth behind swordsmanship | [ kenshi247.net ]

by Takwann
"when two people come together and fight with swords, the feeling of striking a particular area will arise in your opponent. At that time, you should give your entire body over to your opponent. At the exact moment when they see their chance and attempt to strike you should strike them and win…. this is real victory."

The Way of the Dodo — How to Sell 10,000 iPad Cases at $60 Each (and Other Lessons Learned)

by sbrothier & 1 other
Going back to our use first use of a Kindle, we were amazed and excited about the idea of an e-reader. At the same time we started to feel a sense of loss about not holding and reading a good book (despite what one might think, reading is at least in part a tactile thing). While we didn’t act on this feeling on the Kindle as the iPad was announced it was clear that we had to do something. Patrick considered many different types of wood materials to compliment the book element and ultimately decided on bamboo based on its eco appeal and its historic relation to paper.

the qualia journal: The "operating system" of Japan is most probably out of date.

by karlcow

karlcow said...

Thoughtful article. I can understand your frustration. It is always more dynamic to have a multicultural university environment.

Though I have the feeling that comparing Japan to USA is not fair. USA is an English speaking country, in the current state of the world, they do not have to make efforts to open to the world because… well most people learn English languages for communicating (as we both do right now you Japanese, me French).

It would be more interesting to look at 1) entrance exams and 2) diversity of student population in countries having a minority language (not English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Chinese).

That would give a fair image of the situation for Japan. That said opening is indeed good.

Storyist » Home

“Storyist, for me, was more fun to use than any of the other novel/screenplay creation tools. ... Because of that intangible feeling of using a thoughtful, finely crafted tool, the scope of the features, and the (available) printed manual, I'm rating Storyist one notch above all the rest.” - John Martellaro, Senior Editor, The Mac Observer

flame | peter blaskovic | escape motions

by karlcow & 3 others

Flame is a painting program, it belongs to my 'I am Artist' experimental project. I think with tools which inspires you, everyone can be an artist. You can try it here, change different brush settings and paint your own flame paintings. When you change background from black to white, palette changes from additive to substactive and the feeling of the painting is very different. It's not easy to explain all brush parameters, so I leave this for your experimentation.
