I love toys. Cars, skateboards, electronics, video games, computers, the Internet, web 2.0, consumer products, television, film, IPTV, and modifying all of the above.

Why is my blog unique?

Let me tell you a little about myself. I am female, 21 years old, a geek, living in Japan, from the San Francisco Bay Area, my home University is in the Silicon Valley, and I am a perpetual entrepreneur.

I do not purport that these attributes make me qualified to review the things I am going to review on this website. However, I do suggest that they make me unique. I loved Tech TV, I love TWiT, Revision3, Digg, Engadget, Gizmodo, and Lifehacker to name a few sources of tech analysis. What is a common trend amongst them though, is it seems to be a bit of a sausage fest. Granted, you do have female personalities like Cali Lewis, Morgan Webb, and Irina Slutsky out there, and they are wonderful. They are not however, in college, on a college students budget, living in Japan, or independent.

I am not tooting my own horn, I don’t even have a horn to toot, but I am sure you want to know the “who” of this blog to figure out whether or not you actually care.

Now the what.

I will probably inundate this site for the first few days to catch up on important products that I love, are in the news, or are totally NOT in the news but are important to me. These will range from the common, like the IPhone, to the uncommon but interesting of the Nokia n810, to the obscure of my Sager 4880 laptop. Electronics are nifty, but there is more to being a geek. I may talk about my love of Battlestar Galactica and Firefly, or perhaps my current absolute infatuation with Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat.

Cars? …oh yes… there will be cars. On a daily basis I see amazing vehicles. Today I saw two Unimogs, an r34 Skyline, an Evo 4, and Evo 6, an FD Rx7, etc. I will try to take pictures of the cars I find the most sexy, and share them. Also, I will browse Jalopnik, and babble on about cars that are on sale. What do I drive? A heavily modified 1995 BMW M3, with around 120 thousand miles on it. She is not in Japan though, shes back in San Francisco awaiting my return.

I will also give you some information on Japanese tech culture as I experience it as a flaming gai-jin. Two days ago was my first experience in Akihabara (the electronic playground of Tokyo), and let me tell you, I have a lot to say about it.

If you have a request for me to go look at a product in the stores here in Japan because it is not sold in your home country, send me an e-mail and I will go take a look. I live in the Greater Tokyo area, so I should be able to find it.

Anyway, enjoy.
