Casual Japanese wear designer UNIQLO has recently just launched a really great web
calendar that features landscape and aerial shots of places across the land of the rising sun, Japan, combined with tilt-shift technology and stop motion to produce the flash calendar that you see below.
The web calendar itself allows you to set your current location which gives you weather reports as well.
You might also wish to check out the screensaver application that is available for download over at the site itself.
Illustration (Top picture) is from a series of desktop calendar, each image being available for their respective month. These can be found over at http://www.yomban.jp/ichimai/

I’ve just recontracted with my ISP a week ago. Now equipped with 10Mbps download and 1Mbps upload, everything goes even much faster now :)
The 10Mbps service had already been activated 2 days back, but due to my n00b-ness of not knowing 10Mbps would require a ADSL2 modem. Thus, I was stuck with searching for ‘free’ networks.
The ‘free’ ADSL2 router that came with the package arrived this afternoon, after 5 mins of receiving the package, I was back onto the internets ^___^
Speedtouch 585(i) ADSL2 4 ports router
Router stand
Straight through UTP cable
RJ 11 Phone wire
Power adapter
4 Phone ADSL filters
Yay. Free Phone ADSL filters. I have no idea why would one need so many. What I really do like is that this router has 4 ethernet ports and a build-in modem. This helps a hell lot as I would not need to use my old set-up which consisted of connecting a 1-port wireless router to a 4-port wireless router via NAT and static routing.

I really like the speeds I’m getting. It really leaves Chiyo-chan speechless :)
Now, I can’t wait for FTTH/FTTP (Fiber to the home) <Link>
