I bought this at a store.
Show rooms will become a show room unless you have a strong sales presence on the net.
What if you can post any product you want to sell to the website and have people look at it for free. What if the same website allows you to sell anything and collect payment with very little fee.
That is what Kiroboto is about. Internet sales will only keep growing and it is not going to 100% Amazon. You need an alternative.
We have been talking about Linux PC designed by PSPinc for a while. Although we do not have a date for its release, nor even 100% sure we can release this product, we now have a name for this project.
We have been using the name BENTO BOX PC internally for a while. But now we have decided to us the m=name, BENTO PC. We want to make this product easy to use and affordable to own/rent.
Well, this statement has been true for a long time. The perception of Linux PCs are used by college professors, IT professionals and Hackers. People think Linux require a lot of knowledge and most people do not have time for.
This is the main reason why people stay away from Linux and PCs with Linux. But you always thought it might be cool to use Linux PCs. Linux PC users are the most annoying people on the planet. They think they are better than the others and they do not want to see non-expert using Linux.
Well, we must change that. Linux PCs are everyone. If you can use Windows and Mac, you can use Linux. Operating systems are free and so as most software for it. Internet was made using INIX/Linux, so Linux PCs are more compatible to Internet than any other platform, including Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Androids.
We are working to create complete Linux PC platform that includes everything you need including Browser, Email, Office and Graphics Editing Program. Will you try our Linux platform if we provide all this at very attractive pricing and best support?
I have posted some of the most notable Memorial Day Sale on Kiroboto. Kiroboto is a marketplace platform that Uchikura & Co. is working on to produce. First few phases are complete and next phase is actual transaction phase. With this transaction phase, people and businesses can sell products online using Kiroboto. Kiroboto will take care of the transaction services. Anyone can still advertise and promote their sales on Kiroboto for FREE!!!
You do not need to know a single UNIX/Linux command to use Linux PC.
Most people who has not tried latest Linux and its Graphical User Interface (GUI) think Linux PCs are for computer experts and require a lot of knowledge. Some people compare it to the driving a car with manual shift.
The problem is that many Linux users (so called experts) want you to think they have much more knowledge. They want to be treated or respected just because they have Linux PCs. Those experts do want brag about it and do not want to teach you.
Well, actually, there is not much to teach you. Linux is no so different from Windows or Mac. If you can use Windows or Mac, you are already familiar with the GUI you see on new Linux PCs. We want to make sure you are taken care of when you decide to move to Linux. That is our Linux PC project is all about.
In Asia, many companies and products have mascots to represent them. Sometime mascots become more popular than the companies or the products they represents.
Do you think having mascot for your company and your products will enhance your marketing ability? If you need a mascot design, my company has an expert who can create a mascot for you.
Just in a few days, 61 people reacted to the post I made on Linux PC.
I am happy to see more than usual people are liking the Linux PC post I made few days ago. This is very encouraging. I am working with the team to finalize the spec (software and hardware) spec for the Linux based PC.

You agree that selling is much easier when your company or products are more known. That is because people rust companies and products they know or heard about. So, to let people know about your company and products, you somehow let people know about them. That is called branding.
You can spend a lot of money branding ... so that the idea is you later spend less money promoting your products. You can create brand organically or by advertisement. But the best way is for the company name and product names being reported by the media which as a brand of its own.
Also, people learn more about companies and products by Internet. So, find the way to let people talk about your brand on their website, social media and video feed. Those are newer ways to promote your brand.
Do you think Linux can repack your Windows PC?
We do think so.
That is why we are currently developing the design for linux PC that you can use in your business for whole a lot less than your Windows PC. The system wil includes
Graphical User Interface / No Terminal and Text Command
Interne Browser (Firefox / Chrome ...)
Internet Email Client (Thunderbird ...)
Microsoft Office Compatible Word Processing / Spread Sheet / Presentation Software
I will not renew my Amazon Prime account this year.
I was questioning of it is worth $99 ... But with the increase to $119, i have better thing to use that money.
If you say you know Pompom ... You are VIP in my mind.
Unlike some may say, nobody wants to be one of many. You want to be treated differently from others. Some people do it by purchasing expensive items ... sellers will treat you better than the others. But the joy of being treated differently often comes with the condition called ... "I pay the same but I am treated differently."
That is why some may say "I know the owner", "I been in business long" and so on. It is important fir business to treat every costumer like they are the best customer they have.
Oh, if you do business with PSPinc ... you can say "You know Ken." the owner.
Did you know PSPinc does provide IT support for your company in greater Seattle area? Unfortunately, we are not providing this service in San Diego and Los Angeles where we have offices.
Why would you buy a dozen Titleist Pro-V1 for $50+ when you can buy two dozen Kirkland Signature Golf Balls for $23.99 (plus $9.98 shipping). I am not the only one who think this is a great value. Because, unusually within few days, this item disappears from the Costco site. Buy it when you can.
I manage to buy 2 packs of 2 dozen COSTCO Kirkland Signature Goof Balls. I have never seen it at COSTCO stores. I manage to buy them online. After I bought it, it was gone again. So, instead of using them, I will bring them as a gift for my next business trip.
Younger people are more practical than my generation. I always wanted to own things rather than borrow them. But younger generation wants to borrow thing only when they need them.
Like office space, many new ventures are located at shared space like WeWork instead of leasing an office for long term. It may cost more for the long run, but for the short run, it is much more practical.
People like us (I hate to say this but we older people) need to learn from the younger generations.
When you first make money, you may be tempted to spend it. Don’t. Instead, reinvest the profits. Buffett learned this early on. In high school, he and a pal bought a pinball machine to put in a barbershop. With the money they earned, they bought more machines until they had eight in different shops. When the friends sold the venture, Buffett used the proceeds to buy stocks and to start another small business.
2. Be Willing to Be Different
Don’t base your decisions upon what everyone is saying or doing. When Buffett began managing money in 1956 with $100,000 cobbled together from a handful of investors, he was dubbed an oddball. He worked in Omaha, not on Wall Street, and he refused to tell his partners where he was putting their money. People predicted that he’d fail, but when he closed his partnership 14 years later, it was worth more than $100 million.
3. Never Suck Your Thumb
Gather in advance any information you need to make a decision, and ask a friend or relative to make sure that you stick to a deadline. Buffett prides himself on swiftly making up his mind and acting on it. He calls any unnecessary sitting and thinking “thumb-sucking.”
4. Spell Out the Deal Before You Start
Your bargaining leverage is always greatest before you begin a job – that’s when you have something to offer that the other party wants. Buffett learned this lesson the hard way as a kid, when his grandfather Ernest hired him and a friend to dig out the family grocery store after a blizzard. The boys spent five hours shoveling until they could barely straighten their frozen hands. Afterward, his grandfather gave the pair less than 90 cents to split.
5. Watch Small Expenses
Buffett invests in businesses run by managers who obsess over the tiniest costs. He once acquired a company whose owner counted the sheets in rolls of 500-sheet toilet paper to see if he was being cheated (he was). He also admired a friend who painted only the side of his office building that faced the road.
6. Limit What You Borrow
Buffett has never borrowed a significant amount — not to invest, not for a mortgage. He has gotten many heart-rending letters from people who thought their borrowing was manageable but became overwhelmed by debt. His advice: Negotiate with creditors to pay what you can. Then, when you’re debt-free, work on saving some money that you can use to invest.
7. Be Persistent
With tenacity and ingenuity, you can win against a more established competitor. Buffett acquired the Nebraska Furniture Mart in 1983 because he liked the way its founder, Rose Blumkin, did business. A Russian immigrant, she built the mart from a pawnshop into the largest furniture store in North America. Her strategy was to undersell the big shots, and she was a merciless negotiator.
8. Know When to Quit
Once, when Buffett was a teen, he went to the racetrack. He bet on a race and lost. To recoup his funds, he bet on another race. He lost again, leaving him with close to nothing. He felt sick — he had squandered nearly a week’s earnings. Buffett never repeated that mistake.
9. Assess the Risks
In 1995, the employer of Buffett’s son, Howie, was accused by the FBI of price-fixing. Buffett advised Howie to imagine the worst- and best-case scenarios if he stayed with the company. His son quickly realized that the risks of staying far outweighed any potential gains, and he quit the next day.
10. Know What Success Really Means
Despite his wealth, Buffett does not measure success by dollars. In 2006, he pledged to give away almost his entire fortune to charities, primarily the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He’s adamant about not funding monuments to himself-no Warren Buffett buildings or halls. “When you get to my age, you’ll measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you. That’s the ultimate test of how you’ve lived your life.”
I want to live like there is no regrets.
There are too many things that I regret ... But I will try my best to overcome all my regrets. I can at least try!!!
Did you know EXPEDIA (https://www.expedia.com/) has multiple brands to target multiple demographics. You will be surprised who is the part of EXPEDIA Group.
After I lost my dog, I started to talk to other people who lost their pets. It is so amazing that people are remembering their pets and became more emortinal. I am trying everything I can to remember Pompom including drawing him. I also made Pompom stickers.
I want to hep other people remember their pets. Is there anything we can do to help?
Our in-house quality control engineer, Yuuki, designed Pompom character and I turned it into a sticker. She has a talent in turning picture into a cuter character. If you want us to deign a character, please contact us.
There are so many commercials on YouTube videos that makes YouTube very inappropriate for companies and non-profit. YouTube is design for YouTubers who are making money by displaying commercials.
We need a video system that is design for businesses. I am planning to develop the way for this Bloguru to upload and display commercial free videos. But unlike Bloguru itself, I think this service will not be free for bigger videos.
How is the world software company like PSPinc make Linux PC more user friendly and easy to use? That is what we are brain storming right now. I want to be able to release Linux PC by the end of summer.
Every item you see in the world were one time technologically most advanced item at that time. Technology advancement is fast, unless you keep inventing, what you have is going to obsolete in few years.
If you have an idea ... you must invest your time, resource and effort into it. Otherwise, someone else will do the same and you will be left thinking "Why didn't I do it?"
I am always working on something new. Right now, I am working on Kiroboto.com and Bento Box Linux PC.
I am writing this message on behalf of Japan Fair 2018. Japan Fair will be held on July 7 and 8 this year at Meydenbauer Convention Center Bellevue Washington gathering about 20,000 Japanese, Japanese Americans and people interested in Japan.
I would like to extend our invitation to your company to exhibit at the show. If you can help us celebrate the Japanese heritage, please contact me at ken@uchikura.co or contact Japan Fair Office.
Just by contacting me, I will give you $150 off from the usual $500 booth fee.
I am working on Linux PC to be sold with our Internet services. Yes, I am working to develop a hardware (software) for sale.
When you hear Linux ... you think of the screen like above. I thought so too. But today's linux is way more user friendly. As I use more, I wonder why I need to use Mac or Windows.
Back in 2012 ... Apple Closed MobileMe Service
Progress sometimes include shutting down the services.
When there is a problem, people often say "we did not do anything."
Isn't it funny that people think when there is a problem, there is someone caused that problem. Isn't it possible that problem happened because people did no do anything.
People think nothing will happen when you do not do anything. That is the reason why people are so afraid of changes. Look at the companies that did not do anything for last 20 years (since the beginning of Internet). They are not doing well, are they? The problem was "They did not do anything."
Although Internet his everywhere, Internet is still growing. What are you doing about it?
