How can I have feeling when I don't know if it's a feeling?
How can I feel something if I just don't know how to feel?
How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied?
Oh no, oh no

from "How?" by John Lennon

If you have had a feeling like that as John and I had, I think this book would be a good torch. Yes is the answer.

Each story consists of short sentences in a few pages so that it also could be a good text for non-native Japanese speakers to learn Japanese language.

My favorite story is "花". Coming up like a flower, coming up like a flower, coming up like a flower...

"Decision in 2009" and "Walk in Black" are also beautiful. Stories about being afraid and beauty both in standing on your own feet.

iTunes Match and Siri: a match made in heaven - Sachin's Space

My favorite aspect of the original iPod was that it held all your music. I didn't have to think about what to sync. I didn't have to think about what I could play. I always had everything. With the iPod Nano and iPhone, managing music became a pain.

Yesterday while driving to Palo Alto, I tested Siri and iTunes Match. "Shuffle songs by Smashing Pumpkins." A few seconds later, music started playing. But here's the amazing part: my phone didn't have Smashing Pumpkins on it! The music was streaming from iCloud.

Apple has guided US citizens to the future. I, in Tokyo, am still having a pain to organize my music library on my iPhone. I want to take my whole library out. How I envy you!
