Both of you who read my nonsense know that I buy a new iPhone every time it comes out. I\u2019ve got a stack of old iPhones starting with the iPhone 2. And being extra-stupid I\u2019ve been buying the extra-expensive unlocked phones so I can use them when I go to Japan. Unfortunately, the last phone that I own that has the Japanese Technical Regulations Conformity Certification is the iPhone 4s. So my iPhone 5 and 5s aren\u2019t really legal to use in Japan and I have no idea if a 6+ will be any different. In any case I\u2019ll end up carrying a stack of phones again; one with my regular US phone SIM card, one with a rented Japanese SIM card from Softbank so I can call Japanese numbers without dialing internationally, and one with a data-only SIM card so I can get wireless data for cheaper.<\/p>\n
I am waiting for my new, ridiculously large iPhone 6+ to put into that rotation and Apple is messing with me again. First they sent an email saying it would arrive Monday October 6th. Then they said Thursday the 2nd. Then there\u2019s an email switching it back to Monday the 6th. Tonight I\u2019ve not only gotten a cryptic email saying my package didn\u2019t make the flight is delayed until Tuesday the 7th but I just got another one that said it\u2019s coming tomorrow afternoon.<\/p>\n
Did I mention that I\u2019m back at judo? Even bought a 10\u2019 x 5\u2019 roll-out mat to use to practice something or another at home. Probably practicing how to sit seiza for more than a minute at a time. I did try some ukemi on it and it\u2019s actually kind of nice. It would\u2019ve been even nicer if I actually measured the living room and realized that a 10\u2019 x 5\u2019 mat barely fits in there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
