Take a radical and a...what now?

Tue, 4 Aug 2009 14:15:42 -0700

こんにちわみなさん。
僕の名前わスタファンです。
よろしくおねがいします。

You had no idea what I was just saying now, did you?

But anyway, welcome to another update. It's been more than a month, I am really sorry about that, hehe. But I am here, writing about....

KANJI.

...Yup, kanji. The japanese kind. Kanji can be like this:

線
栓
宣
選
腺

And they all mean the same thing, sen. Even though they mean the same thing, their radicals and how they are written are different. Let's take a close up.

線
栓
宣
選
腺
閃
You will see that they are very different from each other. Now, if you are wondering what a radical is, then here's your definition: a radical is what is added on to a kanji to make it different. For example, the second one, the kanji would be the icon on the left. In this case, the kanji is 木, or ki. Now, it is also combined with this kanji: 全, zen, to make the kanji sen. In this case, ki is the radical. Many, many kanji are made up of 2 or more smaller kanji. For example:

口、心、大
(Kuchi, Kokoro, Dai)
Could be used to make this:

恩

Just to make it clearer that it IS using those three:

恩
The Dai goes into the Kuchi and is placed over the Kokoro to make the On kanji.

Okay, how about this one:

森
To make it bigger:

森
Now, the ki kanji meant tree. As you can see, there are alot of trees here, so what would call this a kanji of? Maybe a forest?

And forest is correct, as this is called もり。

Okay, this is harder:

炎
Close up:

炎
As you can see, this looks like two things stacked up on eachother. And they look the same. Let's see if we can find a version of just one of them. Like this:

火
This one means Flame, so what do you think the one with two of them means?

If you said fire, you are correct. One last one.

門
This radical here means mon, or gate. Now, this is a very weird radical, due to the fact that it wraps AROUND the kanji. Like this:

間
Or some other ones, like this:

閃
Hey! That's the last kanji we saw in the "Sen" section! So this kanji means sen, which is brandish.

Well, that's all for today. Bye!

ME BE BACK

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 15:59:41 -0700

Okay, hello everybody. It's been a exact week since I last updated. So here's the update.

So here I am on the plane back home. I'm basically going to write about everything that happened in
Japan and post it all as one big update.

START!

Okay, so let's go through a countdown of my favorite things of Japan.

3. THE FOOD

Okay, I'm not going to lie. Japanese food isn't American food, that's for sure. But what it lacks in
Americanality it comes back with style and taste. Oh, and how you want to eat your food comes in play
too. For example, if you feel lazy and lax, you can order sushi. Or, you can go to a Kaiten Sushi:
thats Convayer Belt Sushi in English. Basically how that works is you pick what you want to eat, and
then eat it, and pay for it later. Or, you can go to a traditional sushi place, where you get to see
the meat and fish before you order, and you can see how they make it. It all depends on you.

2. THE ACTIVITIES

Most Japanese places are trying to be like American places. Some have their own touch, such as a tea
ceremony or a tradition play. Amusement parks can vary in cost and fun, but are a great way to spend
the day and a great way to spend your money.

1. THE TV

Don't be surprised when I say that one of the best things in Japan is the news, 'cause it is. You
have talk shows to news shows to game shows to just roundabout randomness. Oh, and did I mention the
comedy?

Now, let's go into the sections in detail, by listing my favorites in the respective sections.

3. THE FOOD:

3. SUSHI

Ah, sushi. The native food of Japan, sushi is raw fish on vinegar rice. Not saying that there's a
lot of vinegar; just saying that it's enough to make you realise. Now, it may not necesarilly be
fish. Tops include Egg, Octopus, and Squid. The last 2 were fish, I know, but still, when was the
last time YOU had a octopus roll?

2. ROYAL HOST

One of the best resteraunts, Royal Host bears good food at somewhat good prices. Now, don't get me
wrong: this place is one of THE best. But, the menu does lack a little diversity, and there's not
much a section between smoking and non-smoking. Some greats include a Club Sandwhich, a Curry Mix,
and a 3 Pancake stack. Salads are about 94 cents, and a desert comes as low as 94 cents as well.

1. CURRY

They thought Thick Paste on Rice wouldn't taste good, but NOOOOOO were they wrong. Heck, this meal
is one of the easiest to make, because you can make it in 15 minutes! (That being said, the rice
takes 2 hours.) Originated in India, this cuisine has developed a more sweet taste and is commonly
filled with chicken, potato (POTAHTO), carrots, and onions. Being quite filling and tasting great,
no wonder this got number 1 on my list.

2: THE ACTIVITIES

3: THE ARCADE

Okay, there are practicaly no Arcades where I live. Or, at least, where I can go. Now, in Japan,
that changes. Every shopping mall usually has one. I went to the one in ITOYOOKADO/AIRO/YAMADADENKI.
Now, This one uses the Medal system. In Japan, there are arcade games that involve betting on
horses, shooting your coins to gain more coins, or just the regular slots and pachinko. I personally
find the shooting coin cames interesting, and on my second try, I hit a jackpot of 200 coins. And
that felt good, people. Sooooo good.

2: THE ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Now now, all of you know that I love my DSl and My DSi so much, I bring em every vacation. And this
was no exception. Now, on every vacation in japan, I buy at least some new games. The ones I bought
this time around are Mario And Luigi Bowser's Inside Story (Known in Japanese as Mario to Luigii
Arupigi Suri, translated to "Mario and Luigi RPG 3"), Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Exploreres of the Sky
(Known as Pokemon Fushigina Dongeon, Sorano Tankentai, translated as "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Sky
Adventures"), and Mother 3. (Known as Mazaa Suri, Or Mother 3). And, they are tons of fun.

1: THE GOLF

Mini golf, to be exact. I love mini golf, and when we went the the Dutch Themed amusement park, it
was the only thing that we did. And I loved it. It was very fun, I enjoyed it alot. Not much else
to say on this topic.

1: THE TV

3: THE NEWS

The news in America is okay, but it's nothing compared to the news in Japan. Now, whenever theres a
new law or a new accident, then the news crew wil actually make a chart of that, and seal it with
tape, and so when the question is asked, the tape is removed, and voila, the answer is there. And it
just has this feel, like they are with you, answering your questions. It feels so nice.

2: THE COMEDY

Before I start off this section, I just want to share a song. It goes like this.

Zoo-san Zoo-san
Oohana ga nagainone
Soyo, Kaasanmo
Nagainoyo

Now, that means....

Elephant, Elephant
You're nose is so very long
Even your mother's
is very long

Now, there's this comedy show where 6 people come out, and they try to get futons by making up funny
phrases created by the host. Now, there's one that I like, that the prompto is "You've just got
back from home, and you complain about something. I then reply, Nagainone, which means That was long,
wasn't it? Then you follow up, and make a joke." Now, let's do this. -One person raises their hands-

Person: Zoooo-san, Zooooo-san, Ohanaga

Host: Nagainone!

Person: Sooooyo, kaaasanmo, naaagaiinoyoooouuu

That same person lost the round.

1: THE QUIZ SHOWS

I love quiz shows. ILOVEEMILOVEEMILOVEEM. So, there's 2 quiz shows that I like. One's called NEP
League, and it's a quiz show where 5 people must bond together to win. THe other one is called
Q-sama (Translated as Sir Q), and that's where 10 people bond together to try to win a trip to
Hawaii. Pretty fun, if ya ask me. I've even created an english version of Q-sama and NEP League
together, so I can't wait to try it out with my friends.

In Japan!

Sat, 16 May 2009 13:10:20 -0700

This...is...so...slow....

Now I pastebomb a blog update. This was written over 9 hours.

.......

Okay. I'm typing in the airport. In 20 minutes I'm going to board the airplane.

I don't think I'm going to make it.

Okay, back to the point. I'm typing from my PowerBook G4, which is aluminum, just not a unibody.
The trackpad is small though. But, it probably will suffice. Back to my mac should work, except for
the fact that I'll be accessing it halfway across the world. Yay. And if that doesn't work, aka the
speed is undearable, then we're going to try to tranfer files over to this mac so I can use direct
iWeb. And if that doesn't work?

Let's not think about that.

..........

Okay, here I am, riding on an airplane, with absolutely no idea if I'm going to survive or not. It's
not the fact that I'm worried we might crash on the way here. I'm worried about crashing on the way
back.

Gotta say though, this laptop comes pretty nicely charged. I'm getting about 2 hours of work? It's
good enough. The new 17 inch Macbook Pros? 8 hours! Envy....

I'm also going to the apple store in Ginza. Not to buy anything, but to get a feel of what's
different bbetween Apple Stores in America annd Apple Stores in Japan.

Gotta say though, this is pretty exciting. Because at anytime now, we might die, and that means that
over 700 hundred bucks worth in my backback is going down the drain. Weee.

Apparently the outside air temperature is -45 C.

I might faint.

........

The nearest person is about 3 seats away.

I am just that gosh-darned lucky.

........

We're almost not over land! Yay! We've almost reached the end of the continent! four-thousand,
three-hundred, forty-two miles to go!

This is gonna be a long flight.

.......

Why are there two Princes right next to eachother? Prince Rupurt and Prince George. And why isn't
there a Prince Staffan?

I officially am confused.

.......

Apparently the map is on channel 2.

Oh, and I got slippers! And this pendant that says United.

The plane isn't going in a straight line. Is something faulty?

........

There are the princes again!

........

25 minutes into the flight.

9 hours and 5 minutes to go.

........

MMACBOOK!

........

Now there's a Queen Charolette?

Holy Moly.

Aso, thhere's a place called Sound.

Really innovated title, King whatever.
.........

Hey look! Spokane!

.........

We're going 530 mph. and we're 10643 miles up.

That's just basically saying, okay, now what? Loop the loop?

.........

In the help manual, there's this image of this one guy trying to tamper with the smoking detector.
And of course, they also have the "NO" red sign.

I'd just wish they had realized that he's pointing to it with his middle finger.

.........

Now, the drink service has just started. I got some orange juice and preztles.

..........

The map never ceases to amaze me. Now it's telling me that Protland is a part of the Pacific Ocean.

..........

34000 feet! Exactly!

I am so happy right now.

..........

2 hours!

...........

4473 miles to Japan!

............

I'm being stupid!

............

Okay, I'm gonna take out the old DS. If anything pops up, I'll be sure to write.

............

Lunch is here!

...........

Okay, so I'm having a good time. We are now over the Pacific Ovean. It's been 2 hours, and we have
3845 miles to go. And amazingly, the altitude has not changed 1 foot.

..........

Lunch was okay. It was basically, Beef, or Chicken? Really hard question. I chose beef, and
basically it was a hamburger. Which brings up the question, if a hamburger doesn't have ham, then
why is it called a hamburger?

The world will never know.

.......

We've been riding for 3 hours now.

I'm thinking of going to slepep.

Tailwind is 18 miles per hour. And 2807 kilometers to go. We are now at Bristol Bay, Anchorage.
Almost about to pass the international date line. And as soon as that happens? PAM! We time travel.
Sweet.

Boy, am I bored.

......

Watching Front Nixon. It's actually a good movie. the only thing is that these headphones suck.

There's also Inkhart.

5 hours into the flight. 4 to go. Just probably going to watch Inkhart for that.

All hail the 777! Because not only does it give you money, but it also gives you a screen in front of
you!

I'm sitting right next to a Crew Rest Area. And luckilly for them, they get a cloth to make sure
they get good sleep. Envy....

I now have 56 minutes of battery left.

........

Frost Nixon is over. Pretty good movie.

.......

About to pass the international date line!

.......

Just think about if you could actually time travel.

That's what I'm doing.

........

We have now crossed the international date line, and are 7 hours into our journey.

.......

Just got an Ice Cream cone. For free.

Awesome.

........

Beat my DS game in 6 hours. Now dinner just came, it was pasta or pasta.

I'm going with pasta.

481 miles to go!

,.......

Ttttuurrrrbbbuulaaannncccceee!!

Mmmmyyy tttttt kkkeeyy iisssn''t wwworrrrkkkinnngggg!!!!!

Ooooooohhhhhhh...........

........

And we're there! Yay! 9 hours of boredom payed off!

Now to Health People come in.

.........

And after 45 minutes, we're out there too get our baggage!

.........

Mission Meet Jiji and Baba? Complete!

.........

On the way to the small apartment. I have 33 minutes of battery life.

I'm gonna make it.

.........

So weird. People drive on the left side of the car.

I'm gonna make it.

..........

The car...it talks!

...........

At the house!

............

Nerd!

Sat, 16 May 2009 13:07:38 -0700

Okay, today was soo weird. So I'm going to japan on the 19th, and this time I'm going to update my blog while I'm there. Sounds all pretty good, right? So now there are a few options. I'll list them below.

I bring the Leopard CD to my Grandparents to I can access my computer via Back to my Mac.
I bring a family laptop that everbody uses, especially my dad to japan so I can use back to my mac.
I don't update at all.
I get a new laptop and bring to Japan.
I bring my Mac Mini to Japan.

Now, Let's go through each one and see what could go wrong.

We've already used it 4 times, and my Mom hasn't upgraded yet.
I see my dad and my baby sister using it almost everyday, and I don't wanna be a hinderance.
No.
I can't complain about this one, yet I know others will.
Including my monitor and all the cables and everything? No!

Now here's what my dad (who, by the way, owns 2 laptops.) thinks in response to my responses.

Well, we can always buy a new Leopard CD. And Snow Leopard is coming soon.
We can handle it.
It's a possibility.
It's too expensive.
I'm just saying.

Now obviously you all know which one I want. Number 4, right? Well, no. I've given up. I'm not gonna get one. I don't want one. I can't even sleep at night because my window has a laptop outline. I DREAM of getting one in my sleep, even though I know it's a hallucination. I'm not kidding! Sure, maybe sometime my life it's going to happen, but not now.

But as for the blog updates, I'm using choice 2, and using back to my mac, I'll be able to update my blog, even though it's slower than a snail. It's basically a 512 MB computer, which is what I ran before I got 1 GB. And that laptop only has 1 GB. Like I say, it would be much easier to get my own laptop, but let's not talk about that.

I also want to get iLife 09, because with that I could update this blog, but it doesn't look like we're getting it. It comes free on every new laptop too, hem hem, forget it.

AUGH! I just cannot forget the Laptop! I confess, I want it with all my heart and soul. Okay, maybe not all of it, but most of it. It's the only big thing I asked for this year. Well, besides the trip to japan, but I usually do that every year. And I payed for my DSi as well. You want me to skip vacations for a Macbook? YES! Do you want me to sell my DSi so that I could pay a little towards a Macbook? YES! Would you give away your Mac Mini to the poor for a Macbook? YES! Will my parents buy me one? NO! Will you agree to not get anything else for the next year and for your birthday's and Xmas's for a Macbook? YES! Is this the only thing you want? NO! But it is the only thing that I'm asking for. And I will need it for Early Start and more. One of the main reasons I'm asking for one is for insta check my mail, because I don't have a iPod touch or a iPhone.

Well, I'll probably do one more update before I start using the slow, slow, slow, Back to my Mac. Special from Japan. Yay.

Staffan-

What's this?

Mon, 11 May 2009 18:22:51 -0700

Wha? 2 updates in one day? Impossible!

Well actually, I felt the need to add another one. Why? Because...it's time for....

A BOOK REPORT! (Reader: Yay.)

Now today's book report is about "The Pearl Harbor Myth: Rethinking the Unthinkable," a book by George Victor.

-------------

Pearl Harbor. One of the most memorable events in American History. And one of the most terrible ones as well.

"Air Raid Pearl Harbor. This is not a drill. Repeat: This is not a drill." Hundreds of people woke up to the blaring alarm as the attack started. Bomber and fighter airplanes soared through the sky, aiming for the battleships. Why did Japan attack Hawaii and the Americas? Did Roosevelt know?

The attack on pearl harbor was supposed to get even with the U.S., because the U.S. was stopping supplies when Japan started to advance into Malaya in order to get oil and rubber. Then from the Export Control Act, the U.S. halted shipments of airplanes, parts, and more to Japan, which was taken as a unfriendly act. They did not stop importing oil to Japan, until the Japanese expanded into the French Indochina. Roosevelt had moved the Pacific Fleet to Hawaii by then, but did not have any idea that that would cause the attack. The thought of attack of Pearl Harbor had begun when the oil exports were stopped, to not only get even, but to also protect the Southern Resource Area. It was also made to buy time so that Japan could enhance it's Naval Fleet. And on December 1st, 1941, the approval to attack was given by the emperor.

The book is not about the attack as much as events that led up to it. If you are curious about the things that made the attack happen, then this book is for you.

---------

Now that that's over, I will now talk about my pride and joy. Laptops! Yay!

So there are lots of laptops for windows, because Microsoft makes the software, not the actual laptop, which comes from many people. Now Apple makes both the hardware and the software, so you're getting things from one store. Now, as most of you all know, from my previous update, I have been eyeing the Aluminum 13 inch Macbooks, which come in a 2.0 GHz processor and a 2.4 GHz processor, which aren't that different, except the 2.4 runs faster, and has a light-up keyboard. They both run a Intel Processer, just like the polycarbonate 1st Gen Macbook, with the plastic shell. However, it does not have a firewire input plug, unlike the previous gen. It makes up for that by getting a EPEAT GOLD rating, compared to the 1st Gen's EPEAT SILVER. Also, now the entire trackpad is the button, so all you have to do is press down to click.

And just make this all clear, we also have the MacBook Pros, which are better, but more expensive. There are 15 and 17 inch versions, and the 17 inch's battery can be charged up to hold 8 hours, while the 13 and 15 inch aluminum hold up to 5 hours, and the white 13 holds 4.5. Now the processors at the least 2.4 GHz and 2.66 GHz, for the 15 and 17 respectively. However, you can upgrade both of them up to a 2.93 GHz Processors. Both have a back-lit keyboard, which I think is awesome. The Pros have a firewire input plug, but the only difference is that the 17 inch has 3 USB ports. And, the 17 inch comes with a whopping 4GB, while all the others come with 2 gigs.

Now we have the Macbook Air, which is a 3 pound machine, and .16 inches thin. It comes with a full sized backlit keyboard, a USB port, and a iSight, but all laptops come with the iSight.

Now for the prices.

Macbook 1st Gen: 999
Macbook 2nd Gen 2.0 GHz: 1299
Macbook 2nd Gen 2.4 GHz: 1599
Macbook Pro 15 inch 2.4 GHz: 1999
Macbook Pro 15 inch 2.66 GHz: 2499
Macbook Pro 17 inch 2.66 GHz: 2799
Macbook Air 1.6 GHz: 1799
Macbook Air 1.86 GHz: 2499

Now due to the fact that I am a student, I do get an educational discount on these, but not much. My personal favorites are the Macbook 2nd Gen, preferably the 2.4 GHz processor, but the 2.0 is great as well. I really hope that my parents get me a laptop in the near future, but that being said, it's probably not gonna happen.

Well, that's all, so see ya!

Rubik's Attack

Mon, 11 May 2009 14:32:32 -0700

'Ello, and welcome to my blog for first timers. And if you're a returning guest, then, well, I really guess the welcome doesn't change. Welcome.

So I've been attacking my colllections of rubik's cubes. Or rubix cubes, as I like to call. So far I have a 5x5, a 3x3, and a Megaminx. What is a megaminx, you say? It's a isocahedron w/ star center-edges. And it also has 12 sides. And, it seemingly is easier to solve than a regular 3x3, because you have more free sides. However, I haven't learned how to solve it. I can solve a 3 by 3, and working on a 5x5. It's basically a 21 (3*3*3 = 21!) with 8 more centers, and 8 more edges. but once you get the centers and edges, then it's basically a 3x3. But it's not as hard as a 4x4 or a 6x6, because you have set centers, because on a even sided cube, because when you think about it, on a even sided cube there are no set centers.

Speaking of which, I have a friend named Jalen who put automotive grease in his cube, so now it turns crazy good. Now all we need to do is go to the move, and solve one there. Move a side, and it rotates forever!

On another note, my friend Zeke has ordered some 2x2 cubes, which are basically all corners. And there's also the long lost friend that was never used, the 1x1. And if you take off the stickers of a cube, then you have a black cube! do anything, and it's solved! Yay!

While we're talking about nerdy stuff, why not talk about math? (Entire audience of readers pass out) No no, not math math. Just that math competitions.

My team got 12th place in the statewide Math Championships for 8th grade, even though or team average is around 7.25th grade. And in the statewide Math Olympiad?

We were the only 8th grade team that got medals! Yay!

Also, while we're talking nerd, I got a new calculator! A TI-nSpire. It "nspires" me to make programs. (Reader: BAD PUN!) Yeah, it's a replacement for my lost one. My TI-84. You shall ever rest in peace...I think.

Also, it is worthy of noting that this is my first update from my new laptop! "REALLY?" you ask. No. Still from my power PC mac mini. But a new laptop is what I'm saving up for, though it is highly expensive, and I honestly don't think that I am going to get one, but still, it's a good thing to have a goal. Money Managment 101! Yay! (And if you all want to know which kind I'm eyeing, it's a 2.4 GHz Macbook. 1499 smackers.)

So I think that wraps up this update. Bye Bye!

Staffan
