Wednesday 10:05 · My 15-month-old pre-production 7" Galaxy Tab has died the death. Major bummer, I’m totally addicted. Must find a nice 7" ICS device… [Original.]

Sunday 02:04 · 500+ people lined up at Narita immigration. Bleargh. #normallyiquitelikejapan [Original.]
Sunday 17:04 · I can see Mt Fuji from the Google office. For maybe another half hour before the smog covers it. [Original.]
