Web Application

Do you use a web application? Rubicon Consulting of the American consulting company reported growth of web applications. Below the article and the chart are part of report.

I regularly use some web applications.
The first is web mail that is Gmail. As you know, it is very useful. Especially, Gmail's space is about 3G bytes of free storage. And I use the mail anywhere.
The second is a blogging. The third is a finance.

I think that web applications expand more to need two things. The first is to accommodate mobile phone. Because, young people are going away from PC. Instead of it, they use a mobile phone.
The second is security. This report said.

----------------------------------
80% of US home PC users say they have heard of web applications. More than half of them have tried at least one web app, and more than a third — 37% — say they use at least one web application on a regular basis.

That means use of web applications has already spread far beyond the 16% of the population traditionally identified as innovators and early adopters. Web applications are entering the mainstream of US PC users.

The National Art Center, Tokyo

I went to "the National Art Center, Tokyo" on Monday. The venue is in Roppongi, Tokyo.
This museum was designed by Kisho Kurokawa(黒川紀章). He also designed New Wing of the Van Gogh Museum and Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

If it didn't have an exhibition of your interest, there are cafes and a restaurant. I guess, this museum is a very good place. You come to Tokyo, I recommend that you go to there.

Pics - The Exhibition Of Shinseisaku -

The Exhibition Of Shinseisaku

My friend passed me a ticket of the 71st Exhibition of Shinseisaku (新制作展). I went to it today.
It has three category, first is a painting, second is a sculpture, third is a space design. There were lots of good work.

I haven't been to an art museum for a long time. I enjoyed my time.

iPod touch

Apple released "iPod touch". It looks like the iPhone.
Also the iPhone, It doesn't have buttons. It has multi-touch interface. And It covers Wi-Fi web browsing with Safari.


I think that Japan's mobile phone is going to release the multi-touch interface phone in the near feature.
　　　

Bagel

Ever since I ate a dry bagel, I didn't like a bagel. But a bagel that my friend gave was not dry!　And it was very tasty.

My friend bought it at BAGEL&BAGEL. I saw this website. There are wide variety of bagels. I recommend cocoa&white chocolate.

A bagel has a lot of way to eat it. I didn't try it.
How do you eat your bagel?

Typhoon FITOW

Typhoon FITOW is moving toward north. Its intensity does not got weaken just before landfall, and the speed is still slow, so heavy rains and strong winds may continue for a long period of time.

I left the office on time. And I returned home. Because, A train might stop for the typhoon.
