Walking with a Pedometer in order to Burn Inner Fat

This author suggested to use a pedometer in order to keep walking for burning your inner fat. It looked a good idea, but I don't think so. I could not keep anything to exercise with any measuring items.

I have exercised to ride on my bicycle and have a walk for about 8 years, but any measuring items has not been necessary except a bath scale. My main purpose of exercising is to decrease my weight. I suppose many items would bring to get bored soon.

Note: Interview

I did an interview yesterday. The interviewer asked me two key questions.
One was to pick up three important things for IT in the financial institution.
1. Communication skill: IT must communicate with senior management and users accurately and quickly. IT must understand what they require.
2. Management skill: IT must manage projects with members, users and other teams, and IT must report the status to the upper management.
3. Technologies and Skills: It is essential for IT, but newest technologies would not be necessary for the financial institution. IT must adopt better matured technologies well.

The other was to pick up three my strong points.
1. Experience of Project Management for about 100 people: I know what senior management, my manager, users and my colleagues want.
2. Experience of domestic and foreign companies, and service vendor, buy-side and sell-side
3. Skills of object-oriented languages such as Java and C#, and SQL of Sybase and MS SQL server and script languages such as shells, perl and ruby.

I noted this interview for the next.

Poor Functional Banks in the Rich Country

This book's author was the representative for the Japan branch of the Standard Chartered Bank. He established the Japan branch. I see the branch every day because the branch is in Marunouchi and I walk in the front of the branch every day. The branch is very decorated and has many good arts such as painting and vases.
I'm interested in making up their systems in Japan. He didn't adopt any Japanese vendors because there were no enough systems for foreign banks. The systems were made up by their company IT team in other area. There were no issues on Kanji letters because their systems had already implemented double-byte characters for China and Hong Kong. Japanese IT professional must compete against other countries' IT professional. We must brush up ourselves more.

Learn "JUDO" - Tough Roads to Gold Medal in Beijign'08

This report was gone on air on the public television on May 5th 2008. I played Judo from 8 years old to 16 years old.
There are many kinds of martial arts in the world. These martial arts has been mixed into Judo in the Europe. The top Europe players match every week, and so new "JUDO" has been popped.
Ishii who is the Japanese representative of Beijing'08 read a book of Ichiro. Ichiro told him it must be very significant to adjust himself for new or different situations quickly. This words are very important for me on my business. New technologies or skills are innovated in the world. I must adjust myself these situations rapidly. I paused to realize the important words from this program.

Good Weather for a Walk

It was fine but windy a little today. It's a good weather for a walk.
My kids and I went for a walk from my home to Jiyugaoka. It took about 2 hours for 5.5km, included in 2 coffee breaks. My family doesn't have any automobiles, and so we have to walk on outing. It's my policy in order to keep our healthy boy and save much money.

Kalashnikov : The Gun that Changed the World

As you may know, He innovated AK-47 as the most famous gun in the world. He was born in the small farmer home. He was sent to Siberia on his childhood. He survived his hard young age. His young age's story was interesting.
He was secret in the USSR though he is a congressional representative. So there had been less books or information at that time.

BBQ @ Tamagawa Riverside

My family went to the Tamagawa Riverside Park and had a BBQ lunch. There were many families and groups to enjoy BBQ, too. My kids ate meat and vegetables very much. After the BBQ lunch, my kids played hide-and-seek and jump-rope, and caught small butterflies and fishes with a net.
