Last night I spent a couple of hours catching up on SHANGRI-LA, I believe I watched 7 episodes (they’re now at 18 out of 24). From what I’ve heard, most people got bored early in the series but I stuck with it and I really enjoy watching it now. The first two or three episodes weren’t that good, a little too much carbon dioxide gibberish. [click to continue…]

Along with the SwitchEasy iPhone case came my second order (actually first but second one to arrive) from MOO.com. This time with my custom made business cards and a holder for them.

MOO MiniCards

Just after I made an order of 50 business cards and a holder on MOO.com, I got an email from them with a very good deal. I got this MiniCard holder for free! I didnt order any cards with it though as I’m currently waiting to see how the business cards turn out.

The back of the holder. The MOO URL doesn’t really bother me, it’s quite discreet.

Easily slides open, the build seems okay but you know how plastic feels.

Came with some colorful cards with a few discount codes for me to pass along (15% off your first order).

Perfect size for a namecard, which I’ll use them for in the future.

My order with the business cards + holder should arrive tomorrow or sometime this week, so a post on that is on the way. Oh and if you want to get some cards yourself, let me know and I’ll give you a discount code!

Thanks to Ken for letting me know about MOO. You can see his cards here!

Twitter BirdYesterday night, I went to Koichi’s class on how to use Twitter successfully for business people and bloggers. It was a good class even though I knew most of the stuff already. If you weren’t able to come, you can get another chance on February 4 at 10 PM CET. Join the discussions and throw your questions at someone who’s likely to be able to answer them.

If you’re lucky, you might even be able to get yourself some eduFire swag. Don’t know what I’m talking about? If so, I suggest you go to the front page of eduFire and check out Koichi’s introduction video and take the tour.

Oh, and don’t forget to sign up for the J-blogger conference.

I did write a feedback entry on this class as well, so to quote myself:

Koichi is very experienced in this field, and that alone qualifies him for tutoring about this. In this class he went through all the basics that you need to know for using Twitter. For those who weren’t beginners, they got a good opportunity to ask more advanced questions as Koichi stayed to chat for quite a while.

I didn’t really miss anything, but a tip for next time would be to get a few business/blogging twitterers to comment on how they use Twitter successfully.

I’m not sure how the complete beginners felt about this class, although the things he went through wasn’t all that complicated, embrace yourself for an information overload.

All in all it was a good class, more student audio/video interaction would be appreciated, but it doesn’t keep me from giving Koichi a solid 10 for this class.

Good work Koichi!

Visit Koichi at eduFire, Tofugu.com and BoxedTofu.

Hotelier

in Dramas & TV

So I’ve just finished watching Hotelier, a Ueto Aya drama (which you should know if you’ve read my older posts!). So what should I say about it… It was definitely not as good as Attention Please, but that’s one of my favorites so it’s hard to beat it. Overall it was really good anyway, what I liked the most about it was that it made me happy most of the time cause Odagiri (Ueto Aya) and her co-workers had such a great working spirit and they were always smiling. The story was great, even though some stuff makes you go like “no way! that would never happen” afterwards, but that’s pretty usual in doramas. The only ones I actually knew in this dorama before I started watching it was Aya, Nishida Naomi and Saeko, but of course since Aya is in it I didn’t expect it to be anything but amazing. I liked this dorama a lot anyway and I’d recommend it to all Aya fans out there, and to every else too I guess.

It was a little short though, only 9 episodes so I felt like they rushed it a little, but that’s just me probably. Here’s the correlation chart anyway, maybe you’ll find someone you know! (click to enlarge it)Hotelier correlation chart
So what’s up next, let’s see… Oh yeah, another YamaPi dorama! Proposal Daisakusen, I’ll probably watch the first 2 episodes later tonight.

Anyway, I have to go make myself some tea now since I have a sore throat. Talk to you later!
