I went to the turkeyday dinner Saturday nite at Kemby’s, an American style bar in Hiroshima. It was pretty good. Probably the first time in a couple years that I’ve had turkey. Yum!

Hiroshima has its fairytale holiday lights up again. This bunny looks to me like he’s part bear & a little menacing too…

Wandered around town a bit this afternoon, taking pictures of the fall leaves here & there. Pretty, but I’d trade them for warm weather in a second…

I’ve been using the social bookmarking and news site digg.com for awhile, but thus far haven’t had much luck making submissions. Recently I posted a couple of my Apple related posts, but they never made it out of the upcoming stories pile (probably just as well, not sure if the WordPress setup I’ve got here could stand the load).

Anyways, I apparently lucked out the other day when I got not one but two stories on the front page! First was Complete Free iTunes Downloads List, which made the leap to the front page practically while I was watching (it was sitting at like 27 diggs in the upcoming after 14 hours, then next time I checked a few minutes later it was at 45 diggs and on the front page). Its now at 2119 diggs and was the second most popular story for the day.

The second post, iTunes 7.0.1 Released for downloads and in software update, was a “target of opportunity” as I noticed the update pop-up in Software Update while watching my other post. Decided to try just for the heck of it. It got dugg up fast, I think it was promoted to the home page in under an hour! Guess not so surprising considering how many people apparently had problems with version 7.0.

Anyways, just thought it kinda cool to have two stories on the front page at the same time. They’ve both passed off the home page, but are ranked reasonably well on the “top stories of the week” page at the moment.
