I would like to learn...

2007-07-30T17:17:00.000-07:00

I have two things that I would like to learn on the computer.

First, I want to learn more about computer drawing and graphics.

I'm interested in drawing and painting, and drawing is one of my hobbies.

I can use "Paint" in computer program, but it is difficult to design. So I would like to learn more about it.
If I can get the skill, it's fun!

Also I wanted to learn more about "Excel".

We did "Excel", but I wanted to know how to make a schedule rather than calculate.

I could by myself, but my knowledge is not enough...

So if I have a trouble in the process od making a schedule, I would ask Mr.Poza!

Today's topic is "Viral Video."

Viral Video is the video clips that people can see on the Internet, e-mail, IM messages or blogs.

"You Tube" is the most popular example of it. You Tube is a free web site that everyone can see the video clips.

But some people say that it is easy to commit a plagiarism because anyone can put on video clips.

I don't use computer so often, so I have only used You Tube. I can see not only Japanese TV program but foreign TV program.
Recently, I'm interested in Taiwan pop-culture. You Tube has many kinds of TV shows or Promotion Videos freely, so I like it.

Computer gifts!

2007-07-14T06:46:00.000-07:00

My mother; Kyoko often moves Tokorozawa(my home town in Saitama) to Yokohama by train, so I would buy portable DVD player if I have enough money. She likes Korean dramas, so she would be happy when she can watches Korean stars on the train.
And my older brother likes sports game, so if I gave him wii, he would do everyday.
If somebody gifts me, I want wonderful color printer. I didn't know that recent color printer allows us to make a photo from my digital camera. When I saw the photos which is printed by home color printer, I was surprised the quality! I like to take a picture in daily life, and the pictures are always trivial. If I print in camera shop, it is puite expensive, but if I can do in home, it save money, and also it is more fun. So, I wish somebody gives me~!

What Is "Net Neutrality"?

2007-07-08T04:21:00.000-07:00

Today's topic;"Net Neutrality."

It is a rule or principle to make all computer users equally. Under this rule, computer users should be equal what kind of information we can get or how much faster we access on the web. Whoever uses computer, speed is the same, and quality of the information is the same among people.

When I knew this, I thought it is good rule because in some web sites, we can't see the most interesting pages unless I pay extra money for them.

However, many US companies are afraid of this rule because they may loose profit if this rule acts.
In some web page, there is a kind of discrimination between special users and other ordinary users. To become special, we have to pay extra in some web site, then we can enjoy contents.

According to Internet, this issue is becoming popular in Japan, but I think it is still not so serious problem. But if it become familiar to us, we have to think more carefully.

RECENT COMPUTER NEWS

2007-07-02T06:40:00.000-07:00

Hello!! Today's topic is "recent computer news".

Immediately I came up about "iphone".
This is the picture.
I was not sure what is it actually, so I researched on the wikipedia. Wikipedia said that Iphone was made by Apple, and it works as mobile phone with camera, media player and like computer. It superior to ipod!

However, now, it works in the US or Canada because we don't have some kind of system which makes iphone useful. So we can't use it in Japan.

But if iphone is sold by some company like NTT docomo, it would be very popular especially among young people. Iphone is not only multiple mobile phone, but it is very stylish and smart.

I'm not interested in this kind of technology, but I just want to see how it is cool!

3 English web site!

2007-06-25T20:05:00.000-07:00

Today, I want to introduce 3 web site that I' m interested in.

1, On-line store,AMAZON http://www.amazon.com/

I often use this web site when I want to get some DVDs or books. Amazon is a useful on-line store, and they sell not only books or CD, but some daily goods or health tools. I really like books which relates beauty, also photographic collection of old movie actress. Book sores in town have such a lot of books, so it is difficult to find one book that I want to get. However, in amazon, I don't have to walk around. And waiting for books that I ordered is also a kind of fun for me!

2, Cosmetic brand,JILL STUART http://www.jillstuart-beauty.com/en/menu.html

This site is one of the my favorite cosmetic brand, so I guess Mr.Poza would not be interested in.
In Japan, Jill Stuart cosmetics is established very recently. I was very excited about it when I saw Jill's cosmetics the first time. I thought, "Woo~, such a cute!!"
All of Jill's cosmetics are fancy and like a preicess world, so I really love it even though these are very expensive...

3, Fashion magazine, ELLE http://www.elle.com/

This site is a web site of one of the nost famous magazin in the world. I like special section on it;called "STREET CHIC". In this section, they introduce daily coordinate from street girls not models. Beautiful models are too beautiful, so I don't feel close to them. However, I feel close to girls in street, so I can intake their fashion.

That's it!!

"Social engineering"

2007-06-18T18:13:00.000-07:00

Today's topic is "social engineering".

??What does it mean??

Well, I researched. It means to steal some one's personal information illegaly ; such as password or secretary important number or something like that by using social behavior.
It's like hacking, but it's very difficult to prevent because hackers use very smart and complicated ways to cheat us.
For example, hacker pretends to boss of a kind of web sites which has many users. Then, the hacker calls a customer,　"Your password doesn't work. So tell me your number again now??"
More simple way to get someone's information is looking from behind when the person is typing password. Also hackers can get information from trash box!

I thought that hackers have such a wonderful skill, so if I don't learn about these ways, I could be cheated easily...

By the way, here is the picture that I found recently. It is my desire!!

Mac!!

2007-06-13T07:21:00.000-07:00

Even I don't know well about Windows, I have almost no idea about Mac.
A friend of mine who is studying graphics or animation said Mac is good to draw a picture, so maybe Mac is good for graphics.
Mr.Poza tells us Mac is better than Windows in many aspects, and Mr. Poza is a genius about computer, so Mac must be excellent!
In my image, people who doesn't use computer so much like me, can't control Mac.
Recently, I saw interesting commercial TV shows. Here is the URL;
http://www.apple.com/jp/getamac/
http://www.apple.com/jp/getamac/
It shows how much Mac is easier to make home movie than other! It's funny.

I with Computer

2007-06-04T07:29:00.000-07:00

　　I know Computer is such a useful tool, but I don’t use it so much because my skill is terribly poor...(＞＿＜) I didn’t know about USB or something like that until I came to LCJ. I couldn’t understand why　music or movies can put in such a tiny stick!! I thought USB is Cawaii☆

My family is also poor, so all I can do is internet surfing and Microsoft Word. Usually, I use computer in our house when I do homework or when I research about TV star or shopping store. I want to get more skills such as editing movies or picture decorating, but nobody can teach me, so my wish is maybe impossible...(＊д＊)　Sometimes computer in our house doesn’t work, but nobody can fix it even a small problem, therefore we have to call technical expert whenever computer is out of order. It's very troublesome.

Unlike our family, my aunt Keiko is computer expert. She sometimes goes abroad even now, and she said computer is essential. That’s why she got good skills at least 10 years ago!! When I was a child,I often visited Keiko’s house which was the same apartment to my　family. And I enjoyed computer games or drawing. That time was very fun for me, so I want to do that again.

In the future, I want to get married someone who is rearry good at electricity♪ If my partner is poor to technology, I would be isolated from modern well-developed society(゜゜)!!
