The website was down for all of christmas day. Due to this being one of the hottest times for the team, they decided to start up a new site. I just checked and it seems that the old site is up and running again HOWEVER, the Touchmods team will, from now on out ONLY use the new site.<br /><br />You can visit the site here -<a href="http://touchmods.net/">touchmods.net</a> <br /><br />BE SURE TO BOOKMARK IT :-) <br /><br /><br />Merry Christmas to all and Happy Holidays.<br /><br />Phoenixphoenix stuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11614991379023384068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998607327284244131.post-51871802413494209932007-12-22T18:57:00.000+09:002008-12-09T19:33:07.842+09:00Quality comes first!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWhzUymXA2f9n97Q6lVTEdoGYZVwnvDTeuVjR7YONDpYVbBUj0XQlYUJcjqHKUlt_jlJNZjAH7cafQOmxiDOg8q6QmpZmIsTh4Hzokrar9l4_RxtvjG5mhyJRmpulJyCwfrOfnHQNGEGZG/s1600-h/hand_made.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWhzUymXA2f9n97Q6lVTEdoGYZVwnvDTeuVjR7YONDpYVbBUj0XQlYUJcjqHKUlt_jlJNZjAH7cafQOmxiDOg8q6QmpZmIsTh4Hzokrar9l4_RxtvjG5mhyJRmpulJyCwfrOfnHQNGEGZG/s400/hand_made.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5146735309526392738" /></a><br />It looks as if the team over at touch mods blog are working hard for the holidays. They are getting the line up ready as we speak.<br /><br />Doesn't it look beautiful? Just the sheer elegance in it. No big factory to run a line of these. Nope.

This is great. But they didn't stop there. They have now designed and crafted beautiful little mic that will attach to your dock connection port. Now you can actually make voice notes and what is even better, with the new application that they will be releasing on New Years Day you will be able to make Phone calls through VoIP. This is absolutely fantastic. Who would of ever thought that you could end up making phone calls on the ipod touch??? Well I should be receiving my new mic soon and I will post pics as soon as I can. <br /><br />In the meantime, go check out their <a href="http://touchmods.blog.com/">site</a> for more information.phoenix stuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11614991379023384068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998607327284244131.post-41728186037282803442007-10-15T21:22:00.000+09:002008-12-09T19:33:08.556+09:00Halloween KitKat<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgstJdj9GSGa7gDMXc6qvc9UlLjp05OSK3H63J8HEoSITvfHbEQkO6sk-63es0h1ocojHpTWzb9VR6eOLMZzFG1G6oVdpz6t92Tk8uxCdY4a1qU1J7vjzuS-wBCmwfgEvbwu9yopx3Lqggc/s1600-h/10152007075.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgstJdj9GSGa7gDMXc6qvc9UlLjp05OSK3H63J8HEoSITvfHbEQkO6sk-63es0h1ocojHpTWzb9VR6eOLMZzFG1G6oVdpz6t92Tk8uxCdY4a1qU1J7vjzuS-wBCmwfgEvbwu9yopx3Lqggc/s400/10152007075.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121540810877041954" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9z6EFTC85TS2r-Or4h9ZBZuq_ARsNfmbg66Hrtmm057d03E2srOwF2-nKNJG4KXas2cva7BjzdltR1_LTXqpsmvOwo6I6xcBGNarH_rWrEJUKfldp75IMCklsOkUv48XZlWgDCPnWDN0U/s1600-h/Candybar.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9z6EFTC85TS2r-Or4h9ZBZuq_ARsNfmbg66Hrtmm057d03E2srOwF2-nKNJG4KXas2cva7BjzdltR1_LTXqpsmvOwo6I6xcBGNarH_rWrEJUKfldp75IMCklsOkUv48XZlWgDCPnWDN0U/s400/Candybar.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121540819466976562" /></a><br />This one is for my friend the "goddess"<br /><br />My wife knows how much I love KitKat's .

It was money definately well spent. That thing is amazing compared to my last one. <br />The browser and WiFi works great. Fairly fast as well. Video quality is superb and sound is great. <br />I first wanted to get the iphone when it comes out here however, I have a fairly decent phone and no need to trade it in. I am glad that I decided to get this rather than the iphone. <br />The only downfall that I can see so far is the lack of ability to edit your calander. You can sync your calander events however, you can not edit them on the run. The other downside is that it doesn't have the mail function as the iphone does. You can however, just check your mail on line. It would be nice to have my mail pushed to my ipod however, checking online works just as well. <br /><br />Anyway, if you are in need of a new ipod, I highly recommend it. <br /><br />Sorry for the poor pics, I didn't feel like breaking out the big camera.phoenix stuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11614991379023384068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998607327284244131.post-19861173411280297162007-10-09T09:27:00.000+09:002008-12-09T19:33:08.978+09:00This stuff is worse than drugs. . .<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIpitODkzCGR7oTsCOtPVZAOGydBilk6MCRkAONAgRSSYctybCuE8nw2ba0WXvCWIY_mjbzzyqNeHRsMnh6O8HmHS3GvWy0F3kHBnWelqgTApY_jGaj9FtzKwZlnl9i59B9PRjT5Wvgpjd/s1600-h/IMGP2676.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIpitODkzCGR7oTsCOtPVZAOGydBilk6MCRkAONAgRSSYctybCuE8nw2ba0WXvCWIY_mjbzzyqNeHRsMnh6O8HmHS3GvWy0F3kHBnWelqgTApY_jGaj9FtzKwZlnl9i59B9PRjT5Wvgpjd/s400/IMGP2676.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119133614851620050" /></a><br />Chocolate. . . <br /><br />To be precise, Willy Wonka's chocolate. All I can say is WOW, This is amazingly delicious chocolate. I am hooked.<br /><br />So far, the only place that I have found that has it for sale is Tokyu Hands and it runs around 5 or 600yen. I was at the one in Shinjuku, in the halloween section. Shortly after you get off of the esclator, you will see a display swarming with a herd of japanese people watching this movie on a small screen tv on the display. Once you break through the croud a finally reach the display, be sure that you grab more that one bar. Beleive me, you can't just stop with one!! <br />That is, I assume, why they have a Wonka bus set.phoenix stuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11614991379023384068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998607327284244131.post-85213874197004544312007-09-30T23:23:00.000+09:002008-12-09T19:33:09.198+09:00Toys-R-Us Rocks!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrYWoOA3thkcpez0LylcBSx0nfsWz-OfRRuk21piJzyc61kqO2w7_IO6sMwvwQ8OTsV5acnvnWttbTKBdsyUQHB9WwJoD04OHgKdLrblD-FQPK9AsmB17heoTpJmKmDPF4i5TSO51tOiiV/s1600-h/09302007054.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrYWoOA3thkcpez0LylcBSx0nfsWz-OfRRuk21piJzyc61kqO2w7_IO6sMwvwQ8OTsV5acnvnWttbTKBdsyUQHB9WwJoD04OHgKdLrblD-FQPK9AsmB17heoTpJmKmDPF4i5TSO51tOiiV/s400/09302007054.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5116561487787064498" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg48pq9QhRPDbbmWwRgurS5FWIa37r57iDeXOmGMz-H5klE7WcdW5fKolBechwhYzzoG0XXWzhntJw8wQxZOWELkTxV09k3X42KnNptqH_6TPxWBn5Payp_BTKazmiknU3qc15aFX5rGbWS/s1600-h/09302007055.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg48pq9QhRPDbbmWwRgurS5FWIa37r57iDeXOmGMz-H5klE7WcdW5fKolBechwhYzzoG0XXWzhntJw8wQxZOWELkTxV09k3X42KnNptqH_6TPxWBn5Payp_BTKazmiknU3qc15aFX5rGbWS/s400/09302007055.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5116561487787064514" /></a><br />After all of the hustle and bustle at the house for the birthday surprise, we went to the Toys-R-Us in Fuchu.

We stopped off at little place that I have been wanting to try for 4yrs now, I just didn't seem that waiting in line was my thing. This place has a line of at least a 15-20min wait all day and everyday. I finally broke down to try it. I'll tell ya though, it's not all that it is cracked up to be. It is meerly ok if you ask me. <br />The name of the place is Satou. They are famous for their Menchi-katsu(ground beef, breadded and fried). <br />Here are a couple of pics and my daughter taking a look at the menu.phoenix stuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11614991379023384068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998607327284244131.post-79733976592466416452007-08-28T11:37:00.000+09:002008-12-09T19:33:10.438+09:00A family trip to Nagano<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Iui08_rn3StM2dl7FRbXjc_ylCXndPHnEkNdOWGI0j2WDMKZcRwSQtYHiSd1gp-Kvw6Ok-sQslIwbNB7OmT-4cW8ch42VywiTPUf_CR5efjYwCOjOCNvcFnFCWfg2IoExmt0IzltDrzr/s1600-h/IMG_1158.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Iui08_rn3StM2dl7FRbXjc_ylCXndPHnEkNdOWGI0j2WDMKZcRwSQtYHiSd1gp-Kvw6Ok-sQslIwbNB7OmT-4cW8ch42VywiTPUf_CR5efjYwCOjOCNvcFnFCWfg2IoExmt0IzltDrzr/s320/IMG_1158.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5103576846445748658" /></a><br />We packed our things for a nice three day trip to visit to Nagano to visit the wife's parents. It was a very relaxing trip. Aya(my daughter) got her first real experience around a pool and a river. It was a great time.
