I’m packing my bags and going to Yodobashi-Akiba! Yeah, I wish.. But I do know that next time I’m in Tokyo I’ll be visiting the largest electronics store in all of Japan.

The Plastic Monkey, Credit Cards
I’ll be honest, I have some credit card debit. I won’t say exactly how much I have but it’s safe to say that if I had a whole bunch less I’d be a very happy person. Right now I’m looking around for resources on how to take care of this money eating monkey that is on my back right now. I know, I did it to myself. That’s right, I flexed the plastic muscle plenty of times without any thought of the future and now I’m paying for it. I’ve decided to list a few resources in this area so maybe if someone sees this they might benefit from this info and pull themselves out of this monkey infested hole.

Internet Speed Test
Not sure if your getting your $50 worth for your high speed Internet connection? Go test it using the ‘Frog. This could be very handy if your using VoIP or video chat software. I get 1MB up and 4.3 MB down. Eh, better than what I get at work…

PetLiveTV webcam at AM/PM
After my post about the PetLive TV a few days ago I see this. You can check out your virtual pet from mini markets in Tokyo. Amazing…
The Woody PC
Now this is a beautiful example of craftsmanship. Most case mods end up looking like, well computers – except maybe the ones crammed into toasters, those look like toasters. Anyway, this just looks beautiful, its as if the computer was re-envisioned by tree dwelling elves. I’d be happy to own a system that looked like this.
