Last Minutes with ODEN

2009-12-27T16:39:00.003+09:00

Last Minutes with ODEN from phos pictures on Vimeo.

I don't know how they suffer and struggle to lose their family.

he is definitely a family, but he can't speak as we, human does. they had to make decision.

I was deeply touched by feeling how they loved him.

you know you've worked too long when

2009-12-05T20:42:00.000+09:00

1. You wonder what absolute alcohol tastes like with orange juice

2. You can tell what cheap and expensive white coats look like

3. You can’t watch CSI without cursing at least one scientific inaccuracy

4. You use acronyms for everything and never stop to elaborate

5. Liquid nitrogen is only about a 1/3 as dangerous as you thought

6. You always seem to use the microscope after the person with the impossible close together eyes

7. Accident reports are a badge of honor

8. You’ve wondered why you can’t drink distilled water in the lab – It should be clean?

9. You give the lab equipment motivational pep talks “Work for me today or i’ll reprogram you with a fire axe” is my favorite

10. You’ve worked out that a trained chimp could probably do 90% of your job

11. When a non-scientist asks you what you do for a living you roll your eyes and talk science at them until they’ve loss the will to live (mainly for fun)

12. You have to check the web to find out what the weather is outside

13. You realize that almost anything can be classed as background reading

14. People wearing shorts under a lab coat disturb you slightly as they look as though they might be naked underneath

15. Although all cooking is a glorified chemistry experiment you just still can’t seem to get it right

16. Safety equipment is optional unless it makes you look cool

17. Warning labels invoke curiosity rather than caution

18. The Christmas nightout reveals scientists can’t dance, although a formula for the movement of hands and feet combined with beats per min is found scrawled on a napkin by a waiter the next day

19. You know which part of the lab you can chill out undisturbed on friday afternoon

20. You decide the courses and conference you want to go on by the quality of the food served

21. You are strangely proud of the collection of junk you’ve stolen from vendors at trade shows

22. You’ve used dry ice to cool beer down

23. No matter what the timings in the experiment protocol there is always time for lunch in the middle

24. As has been pointed out to me on several occasions – You can no longer spell normal words but have no trouble with spelling things like immunohistochemistry or deoxyribonucleic acid.(Cheers Lesley)

25. Burning eyes, nose and throat indicate that you haven’t actually turned on the fumehood/downdraft bench

26. Your slightly too fond of the smell of (pick one or many) Xylene/Agar/Ethanol/Undergraduates/Alcoholic handwash

27. You’ve left the lab wearing a piece of PPE (personal protective equipment) because you forgot you had it on

28. You bitch about not being able to pipette by mouth any more (Not me but i’ve worked with people who do!)

Signs from others in the group (04-07-07)

29. Security come round at 2 am wondering why the lights are still on only to find you with your arms up to your elbows in a glovebox – Cheers James

30. you have made some kind of puppet out of a nitrile glove and kept it as a pet (I know this isn’t just me!) (Putting dry ice in makes for a rapidly expanding if short lived pet – DS) – Cheers Rachel

31. When at a Fall Out Boy gig you wonder why everyone is going round with Faecal Occult Blood (FOB) written on their head!!!! -Just for you Sarah

32. You have an irresistible urge to rip your shirt off superman stylie cos it has press stud fasteners just like your lab coat…..Most often occurring as you walk through a door just like exiting the lab…. (The worlds of strippers and lab workers collide, not pretty- DS) Thanks for that Carrie

33. You still get amusement out of “freezing” things in liquid nitrogen! – Not just you Tracey

A Few more from me (12-07-07)

34. Blinking real fast has saved your eyesight on more than one occasion.

35. You’ve removed your gloves to find a small hole which has left you with either – wrinkly old person hands, a brightly coloured finger (histologists especially) or a burning sensation and dermatitis and some point.

36. You’ve bent down to pick something up off the floor only to scatter the contents of your top pocket under the largest machine in the lab – Common problem i believe

2009-08-02T18:58:00.003+09:00

we went long ride yesterday. at first we planned to ran 80 miles, but we could only rode around 40 miles because of heavy rain. it was the first time for me to ride such (long?) distant that toughness was beyond my imaginings. I just rode track bike only for street, I've never experienced hill climb and long cruise(for me y know).
Now I realized the plan that was my wishful thinking and I need more training.

this ride's setting.

after back to Kyoto, we went drinking. while 2h-parking near motor pool, someone who sucks hit my rear wheel and ran away.
I hope the damage is only for the rim at least wheel, not the frame.
we called the police and parking lot company to show us video of security camera.
I can't imagine!

I've been addicted to this messenger bag called professor from Fredrick packers. but the last time stocked in Bluelug, these were immediently disappered that I couldn't get these.

this model is kind of interesting design because of this doesn't have upper flap.

I like these something "casual" design. (I mean not serious specific for messengers)

I find these pics on fredrick's flickr, and the tag was bluelug. I assume it means these bags will available soon at bluelug. I hope so, and I'm ready to get one.

this guy used Hplusson for his rear wheel.

last night, we rode bikes and had tons of fun.
but when he was doing skid, i heard big explosion i've never heard.
then, the rim has bursted.

Inside of rim has collapsed and tube was bursted.
but tire has not bursted. rim was just only two weeks used. it's almost new.

I just laced front wheel with this rim and bought another one for rear. some guys around me planned to lace wheel with this rim, but we all concern about such plobrem happens again.

now, we can't say anything except this happens, and don't have any idea why this happens.
i sent e-mail to HPLUSSON and ask to figure out the occation of this case.

here's more pictures of broken rim.

2008-05-21T18:19:00.003+09:00

I had ridden Bianchi Pista '07 before I got vivalo that I'm riding now.
I like crome frame, like NJS frame. They are thin, and have beautifull figurative art.
and I actually like Bianchi's original Celeste color. but, one thing upsets me.

that is "crome thin frame with aheadable stem".

this is really important point for me.

aheadable stem is for fat aluminium frame or carbon frame, not for crome.
this is my opinion. haha.

so, now I'm attracted to Pista Concept. sure the color is Celeste.
how do I get this frame in honest price!!?? even I can't find it.

this frame with THOMSON ELITE is truly kick ass.

We have to reimagine about riot in Tibet, then, lot of Tibetans were killed by Communist Party of China.

I can't afford to be passive responce of China.

but we mustn't use violence at protest movement. it's not what that Dalai Lama wants.

it's not only religious issue, with political shakles, yes, this is really difficult thing.

but Don't shut your eyes from this buisiness.

I had a presentation at scientific society in Tokyo.
I could make presentation with no problems, then, question from chairman was not so difficult, yeah, it was really lucky.

afterall. I went to blue lug.

It was really delightful and interesting shop.

there were lot of colorful bicycle parts, clothes, groceries that I can't find in Kyoto.

then, I got those.

I was in Tokyo, so, I should see around and go sightseeing or shopping or .......

yeah, I hoped so, but I was reaaly tired of stressfull presentation, and heavy crowd of Tokyo.

I gonna go to bed earlier today. good night.

incredible environment

I was pretty busy with making experiment for academic conference.
so, i couldn't post my article.

and this 4 days, I went to Ishigaki-iland and Naha in Okinwa for my graduation trip.

This was the first time that I went to Ishigaki-iland.

I really surprised about there nature.

I've never seen such landscape, never taken me up to such environment.

there is nothing to believe in this world around me, this nature is always there, and give us healing and soak away stress.

put our pain and busyness out of my mind.

I really enjoyed extraordinally days.
