Galapagos, ah...Galapagos, Galapagos

Today, I watched Japanese e-book tablet "Galapagos" which a friend had.



It's a big! heavy! and strange size!

It had a long vertical size. I have not watched the ratio of such a screen size. I felt sense of incongruity very much. Golden ratio is important to the size of the gadget.


On the other hand, iPad2



Light! thin! and the color of the screen is beautiful!


....................Japan is over! \(^o^)/

Drag queen and Tohoku big earthquake

On March 11, a gay man used Japanese video sharing site NICO NICO DOUGA. He did live streaming make-up of drag queen in NICONICO DOUGA.

The tragedy came suddenly. An earthquake of magnitude 9.0 attacked Japan as soon as he showed a face of finished drag queen. You can watch the terror of the earthquake from log.



Fortunately, he was safe. After an earthquake stopped, he called, "were everybody safe?" immediately.

Now. we can watch a lot of video which took a moment of earthquake on video sharing site. However, this is a very rare case.
