Testing for Japan
Upload test of a couple of pictures shot at home in preparation for Japan. I'll probably shoot video at some point too, but that'll have to wait for when we get back.
I've got Posterous set up through my email, and Posterous should forward everything on to various sites. This way I can spend as little time as possible updating while in Japan -- I probably won't be able to respond to much if anything and won't be checking Facebook, so if I must know something follow the links back to Posterous and leave a comment there, or @ me on Twitter. It'll be 100￥per minute to use a computer pretty much wherever we go, and accessibility will be limited while we're in Kamakura hiking...so time is quite literally money in this situation. I won't be putting up all of the pictures we take, but hopefully I'll be able to make small notes and a couple of image uploads while we're on the go.
It'll be interesting, we'll have my 3G AT&T phone (which may or may not work, I'm guessing not), Mom's Kindle, and...that's pretty much it. Might rent a cellphone there or get a prepaid or however we can find something that works...in case of emergency, I guess? We leave July 5th, back on the 20th. Not really hyped up or excited about going just yet, just ready to quit painting the house and start leaving already. Alas, another week away. A certain someone wanted an Arcanine doll so I may have to scour Akiba or figure out where the nearest Pokemon Center is during the two days I'll even remotely be near one. I kind of hope that's the nerdiest thing I do, if only because I don't want to be another filthy American fat nerdchild...but my own wishlist is far worse than some Pokemon stuff.
Gotta get back to painting. Lunch breaks can only last for so long. :'(
