Kenichi Uchikura
Founder & CEO, Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. (PSPINC)
Bellevue, Washington

Kenichi Uchikura is the founder and CEO of Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. (PSPINC), a technology company based in the Seattle area. After graduating from Azusa Pacific University in 1983, he began his professional career in Japan before being assigned to establish his employer’s Seattle subsidiary. That international business experience laid the foundation for his entrepreneurial journey.

In 1987, Uchikura founded PSPINC, building the company into a long-standing provider of software development, web hosting, business communications, and SaaS solutions serving clients in both the United States and Japan. Originally known for Japanese software localization and cross-cultural technology services, PSPINC evolved alongside the growth of the Internet into a provider of digital infrastructure, custom web applications, and business communication platforms.

For nearly four decades, Uchikura has focused on helping organizations leverage technology to improve communication, strengthen customer relationships, and expand business opportunities. His work reflects a commitment to innovation, practical problem-solving, and fostering business connections between Japan and the United States.

Publishing Electronic Newsletters
Email Marketing ... Very popular thing. But you know people are getting many emails in their mail box. So, sending email may not be enough, you need to control what time you send your email.

When you send email at night, your email will be a part of bunch of emails people open in the morning. Your email will not get any attention you need.

thread
LENOVO's MISTAKE
There is a coupon code that is on the net making $499 laptop to $299. The Coupon Code works on LENOVO's Web Site but does not allow you to check out. So I called LENOVO. They say that code is not theirs and they can not honor that. (So, why does it work on their system?) I did not want to give them a hard time but they should honor that or make the coupon not work at all. I think (I know) they screw this one.

Our software design concept for 2012 is HYBRID SOFTWARE.

What is the HYBRID SOFTWARE? Well, it is a hybrid of local program and web server application. Forget Internet browser, we will build the local application but instead of storing data on the local hard disk drives, the software store data on the web server like web applications.

By having the local program, program will respond much quicker with better screen control too. This is a concept that we will be pushing for 2012.

Microsoft 365

thread
Microsoft 365
"Starting as low as $10 per user per month."

Okay, what is that mean?

If you have 10 accounts, that is $1,200 per year to start. It does not even include domain name. Some people say, it includes Microsoft Office License ... Does it? Online version are good for viewing not for writing or creating.

If you just need 10 email accounts under your domain, you can use PSPINC's email hosting for $250 per year that includes domain registration.

Don't take me wrong. Microsoft 365 is a good product, but not for smaller companies. Microsoft 365 should be compared to Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes hosting environment where companies need to purchase servers, software licenses and IT support people. Compared to that Microsoft 365 is very economical.

25th Anniversary of PSPINC
PSPINC was formed in July 1987. It has been almost 25 years. We have grown from a single person company operated from my apartment room to multi million dollar company with over 50 employees. It took 25 years to do this. That is very slow for so called hi-tech companies. That is because we did this 100% organically.

We wil be having our 25th anniversary party on July 13 at Marriott Redmond Town Center. Now we are starting get ready for this event.

New Tires for a Old Car
Well, one of the tires on my 1959 Mercedes Benz 220S gave up. I replaced all four tires today. They are very small tires comparing to newer cars' tires.

I purchased life time warranty on those tires for $11 a tire. Considering I only drive less than 500 miles a year, I will be keeping this set of tires as long I live with 100% warranty. Unless Discount Tires goes out of business, I hunk I just purchased the last set of tires for my 220S.

Do you know what it means when I say "There is a Galapagosization of Japanese cell phones"?

Do you know Galapagos Island ... It developed its own species because the island was isolated from the rest of the world. That is exactly what happened to the cellular phone technologies in Japan. All Japanese cellular phones evolved technically but with no compatibility to the rest of the world.

Galapagos Keitai (Cellular Phone) = GalaKei

It is now being taken over by SmartPhones like iPhone and Android.

What can a picture tell you?

thread
What can a picture tell you?
A picture can tell you more than what you can see outside. Every time, a picture is taken by a digital camera, it embeds information like

- Date
- Time
- Camera Name
- Lens
- Focus
- Exposure

and it can sometime can embed GPS information. That means, it may carry location information. So you may want to be careful what picture you put up on your blog or other SNS. Those information can be access using software like iPhoto.
