Dark Side Of Online Media
TechCrunch apologized for one of their intern had asked for compensation in exchange for a blog post. WTF!? This is the worst situation for online media. No one can believe the media if these kind of things happen quite often.
This was remind me that we should watch new media carefully and should not trust too much. But at a same time, I know to be honest is the most important thing for online media.
There is a link to the intern’s blog post at the end of the TechCrunch’s post. I had scscribed one of the intern’s blog.

New Year’s Resolutions 2010
Before the end of January, let me post my personal new year’s resolutions of 2010.
- 1. Take a day off on Wednesday
- Means force me to focus on important tasks like writing important code.
- 2. Don’t studying English
- To get something, should stop something. I don’t stop improving it but should not study. Just use, speak, write!
- 3. Blog more without thinking
- Quality is important but need to try more and fail more to get better quality.
- 4. Write review posts of Movies/Animes
- Should not always work. I need to use my time to refresh my brain.
- 5. Start video blogging
- For me, speaking is more comfortable than writing. Buy a good camcoder.

New Personal Payment Methods May Change The World Economic Rules
This kind of products will make a new tech/business trend, I think. Currently we don’t have any tools to pay small amount of money each other except cash inside your pockets.
What kind of dream you can imagine with this brilliant concept?
Didn’t know but Jack Dorsey joined as co-founder. Sounds cool.

BE CAREFUL When You Remove Tags On Evernote

Evernote
I’m using Evernote as my notes backup system and I trusted Evernote too much. OK, what happened?
I accidentaly removed important snapshot notes on Evernote client like this:
1. Browsed on a ToDo notebook

Step1
2. Clicked a blog tag to remove

Step2
3. Hit the delete key twice (Assidentaly I did like this)
4. Notification message appears
5. OK I know you mean ‘Are you sure you want to remove the tag?’, sure!
6. The ToDo notebook gone
There is no way to restore it even on the web interface. Can’t believe that Evernote doesn’t support a history back feature like Dropbox does. No need to pay for Dropbox to use that useful feature but on the other hand, I’m a paid premium user of Evernote!
Yes that was my fault and the worst thing was I didn’t stock snapshots for backup and realized that I should not put important files only on Evernote.

K-ON! and music
The latest animation called “K-ON!” created by The Kyoto Animation was pretty amazing. Can’t imagine how they can create that hi-quality animations. No wonder they’ve received respect from anime fans.
“K-ON!” was animation of high school students’ music life. Music is fun!
