Today i finally had a chance to set up my new laptop, a Dell Precision 4300 N Series mobile workstation … also know as a hamburger with the lot.
It’s been under my desk for a week while i’ve finished a few projects, today i’ve spent a few hours getting it up and running, and i love it already.
What’s so good about it you ask? Turn away now if you don’t want to read boring geek stuff.
- Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9500 @ 2.60Ghz with 4 GB Ram
- NVIDIA Quadro FX 360M Graphics
- 200 GB HDD @ 7200 RPM
- DVD, Bluetooth, extra this and spare that ….. all the bells and whistles

To increase my screen real estate i have a 2nd monitor, a 24″ flat screen that runs a resolution the same as the laptop 1920 x 1200.

Dogenzaka is known for many things, the home of Love Hotels in Shibuya probably being the main one but recently i happen to be walking through Dogenzaka when i noticed this doorway.

I’m not a massive guy, but you’d need to be shorter than 4′ to get through this doorway without bending over.

My excuse for not eating much fruit in Japan is the cost, not that it’s all this expensive but these gift fruit baskets coming in at about $100 and $80 each is a bit over the top in my opinion.

These single melons on the top row for $50 bucks a pop would want to taste a treat at that price. $5 for the guys down the bottom is much more like it.

Once again i’ve trawled the internet far and wide and come up with a worthy winner of this weeks J-Babe Of The Week title, Yuka Kosaka.
While Yuka doesn’t rate as well as Sayaka Ando and Kana Tsugihara i certainly wouldn’t kick her out of the bed if she farted.

Yuka Kosaka 小阪由佳, Yuka Kosaka こさか ゆか born June 27, 1985 is a gravure idol, actress and model.
