Double Inversion by Anish Kapoor

The work is at the office entrance of a complex building.
It's a concave mirror on the white board. Although you can't see it, there is a similar concave mirror at the opposite side of white board.


The work was made by Anish Kapoor. Quick check on Google, I find his web site : http://www.anishkapoor.com/index.htm

Movement No.3 by Florian Claar

The work that can be seen above was made from Aluminium. It is 12.8meter wide. You may know the actual size of the art by comparing it to the  people in the picture.

The work was made by Florian Caar. I'm not familiar with the artist so I searched him on Google. He had been to Japan in the 90's. He also has other public arts in Japan. I want to see his works.

You can see more detail about  him in this site : http://web.mac.com/florianclaar

Concerto Angel by Tomoko Konoike

I went to see some public art at Kawasaki.

Seven public arts placed at Muza Kawasaki which is complex tower. It has offices, a symphony hall, shops, and restaurants. It is directly linked to JR Kawasaki Station by a pedestrian road.

By the way, what can you see in the image? At first, I can see a cat figure but later on I realized that the title of the art is "Concerto Angel."

jogger

I jogged for about one hour today. On the way I took the picture above.
This month I jogged for about 5 times. It's on a good rate. I want to keep this pace.

By the way, I've started jogging since April 2010. It will be almost one year. Now I've covered a total of 530 kms. I want to reach 600 kms by the end of March.

renewal of my drivers' license

I went to the office for the renewal of my drivers' license at the last minute. I forgot to receive a notice letter.
At the same time, I took a class about traffic safety.

Cocoon Tower

Look at the building  in the center of the picture. It is a school building owned by Mode Gkuen.
It is called the Cocoon Tower.
The building was designed by Tange Associate.

jogging

I restarted jogging. I cut it during the winter and because of that, I gained weight.
I know that jogging is good for health and mind. But still, I stopped it because of coldness and it is bothersome.

Endurance makes you stronger.
継続は力なり, in Japanese.
It remind me of my high school days. I had a friend who used to write this word on a paper and put it on his desk. Until now, he still has a staying power.

Nike+ SportWatch GPS

According to an article on the Nike+ web, they will launch "Nike+ SportWatch  GPS". It seems that the release date will be scheduled on April but in Japan its on July.
I've used a Nike+ SportBand since April 2010. It doesn't have a GPS function.

I'm concerned about two points. They are the price and the battery life.
As far as I know, a gadget with GPS is expensive. If the price is right and the quality is good, I will definitely buy that watch.

Automatic Pencil for bubble answer sheet

I bought an automatic pencil for bubble answer sheet. Usually, a lead is 0.5mm but this is 1.3mm.
My friend recommended me this pencil. He said that it's easy to use this pencil for bubble sheet.
I had a chance to use this pencil last weekend. It's true, this pen is useful for black out. Moreover, it's useful to write down texts.
