焼酎：もぐら２０１０年
Now that I am a very avid Shouchu drinker is well known, at least under my friends and co-workers.

Although color at night is amazing, sometimes the pure light that you get with black and white is just superior.

And again IOGraph
Yesterday was a kind of different day with no break and a lot of web work …
Almost no twitter, but quite some messenger chatting with co-workers. Not so much mail reading (right side), but a lot of browser and terminal work on my main screen.

IOGraph again
So yesterday was another wild working day, and I had IOGraph running again, for about 12.1 hours.

Somehow this is really fun :D

Exhibitions I visited today
Today I went to several exhibitions. The first one was in Zen Foto Gallery in Shibuya. They showed photos made by amateur photographers before the war, called Japanese Photography of the 1930s. It is a three part show in three different galleries. Very interesting old pictures, but at the end not really my style.
After this one I went to Shinjuku, Epson Gallery, and saw a very interesting show...
