Umami Asian Kitchen

2009-12-19T09:01:00.002-05:00

Last night, Mom took us out to celebrate Arisa's birthday. We went to Umami Asian Kitchen in Chagrin Falls. The menu says that Umami is the "fifth taste", as in sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Umami is a Japanese word. See the wikipedia article for a description. Also see the "basic tastes" article too.I see why they call it Asian Kitchen as it's not really a Japanese restaurant. They

Thanks to this post, even*cleveland: the snowman, a small trip down memory lane. While I wasn't 6 or 7 like Stephanie over at even cleveland, I did watch it with my kids, and it quickly became a favorite of mine. We bought the book and had the dvd. Neither of which made it with us when we moved to the U.S.Thanks for the reminder, Stephanie

Damn You Byteflow!

2009-12-06T09:33:00.006-05:00

U5AA7KUEJQ7UAs many of you know, I've been using Byteflow for this site and blog. Byteflow is a blog system built in Django. The glorious design(sarcasm) is mine. I should also add that the News and Links are little modules that I created. Which I'm pretty proud of as I'm not a programmer/coder, and even though they are real simple and pretty featureless (no RSS for example).That's one of the

As many of you know, I work for Hyland Software here in Cleveland. I don't post much about work or work related items because that's not my role in the company. I'm a project manager and am focused on specific client projects, not touting the company. But every now and then, there are things I just can't pass up. It's not something like Hyland winning Crain's Company with the Best Perks Award,

旅行の帰り

2009-11-29T08:51:00.001-05:00

昨日、兄貴のとこから帰宅した。でも、最悪。　トランスミッションが飛んじゃって、ペンシルベニア州から牽引してもらう必要があった。　先日、トリプルAを紹介したが、今回発見したのはターンパイクを利用するとトリプルAを利用することが出来ないそうだ。　PAターンパイクは独自のシステムで＊１１（オハイオ州なら *990 だと思う）を携帯で電話するとターンパイクが牽引車など呼んでくれるわけです。　一応、トリプルAに入会して「プラス」になっているので１００マイル牽引無料だが、ターンパイクの業者さんがこれを認めるなので家の近くのガレージに運んでもらったんだ。これから調べるが、多分ワランティーが切れているので修理全額を払う必要があると思う。最悪。きっと＄３０００ぐらいかかると思うのだ。　このお金がどこから歳出出来るか悩む。ということで今朝はワランティーの有効期限を調べるのだ。

トリプルAに入ってよかった

2009-11-25T08:16:00.004-05:00

一週間前ぐらいにトリプルA（AAA=American　Automobile　Association)に入会しました。　我が家の愛車２台とも中古車であり、いつ壊れるのが不安です。　僕は結構出張があるのでいないときにありさやエリーが何かあった時にトリプルAに電話するだけでバッテリチャージとか無料で牽引してもらえると思って入会したわけです。ケンとジョージが予定がある場合に、向かいに行ったり、送ってあげたりしてもらう代わりにエリーは割と自由に車を使わせています。　昨夜はそうでした。ケン君が友達と映画を見に行く予定だったのでエリーが車で送ってあげていて、その後出かける予定でした。　そうしたら、映画館の駐車場で車を止めていたら、再度エンジンがかからなくなったことになりました。　エリーはバッテリーの問題かと思って、友達に電話してチャージしてまらったのですが、やはりエンジンがスタートしませんでした

They'll start with 100 households but hope to grow to 25,000. Note, this is just the announcment of the initiative not announcement of service. It appears that they have some review hurdles to overcome.Regardless, this is a great

Google Apps Account as Google Account

Wow. I discovered this morning that I can use my google app private domain account as a google account. Perhaps I am slow, but what I had been doing is associating my gmail google account with my google app account. However, today I received a google wave invite to my private domain. In the process of muddling around I discovered the ability to create a google account using the google app

Browns Lose A Thriller

2009-11-22T19:00:00.001-05:00

The Cleveland Browns found a way to lose, 38-37, after being up 24-3 in the first quarter. But what a game. It was a lot of fun to watch, the first one since what, 2007? It's fun when to comparable teams play each other. I was originally worried that it was going to be a sleeper but after the ups and downs of a football game and 75 points later that worry was unfounded. I have to be honest, I

Bonenkai

2009-11-21T07:57:00.009-05:00

I realized this year that I hadn't been to a bonenkai in ages. Of course here in the U.S. December is a month filled with "Holiday" parties. Well in Japan they're called bonenkai. Literally "forget the year gathering". Either way, it generally involves drinking, conversation, and general fun with friends, colleagues and clients. So I'm happy to report that JANO is supporting a spontaneous "

Pet Peeves

One of my favorite sites was pet peeves, but unfortunately I lost the link to it. It was just a list of pet peeves submitted by various people, that you could vote on.I really enjoyed reading some of them. Well recently, my sister posted on her blog, and at the end of it she asked the question P.S. Oh and...is it really that hard to turn on one's turn signal when changing lanes? :) This
