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.
The sale of Windows 8 equipped computers are down. People are demanding Windows 7. Rumor says Microsoft is bringing back the "Start" button and desktop as a start screen instead of unpopular metro tiled interface.
I personally like the things Microsoft did in Windows 8. I like the quick start up and shut down. So, if Windows 7 interface is back with Windows 8 engine, it might be good.
I posted about people using rubber ball instead of a chair. I found a chair that require you t balance. It is called "Swopper". Other than the fact it cost $550 to $1000, it looks like a good office chair.
I manage to play 18 holes in the rain today. It was not a strong rain but I had to wear rain gear. I shot 44+47=91 It was not the best round but I am happy with it considering it was raining.

When you connect iPod to Mercedes Benz ... Japanese characters are displayed on the screen. My Japanese Honda Accord cannot display Japanese when I connect my iPod.
We took our Torrance and San Diego Staffs to Seattle Executives Association meeting today. It was really an eye opening experience for them. I guess they have never been to the meeting where people are openly talking about business leads.
Our most popular Web & Email hosting service costs $250 per year. That includes 10GB of Web Space and 10 Email Accounts, that should be enough for 90% all businesses in the US.
To put that in the perspective, your cell phone will cost you at lead twice as much a year than our hosting service. Your cable will at your house will cost you 2 to 6 times as much each year.
We took delivery of a brand new Honda Odyssey minivan from Lynnwood Honda today. Same payment but this is much more car than the older one. It feels more stable and refined. Engine is smoother and more responsive. Having backup camera is great. Also, there is sliding door open/close buttons in the back. Those are great.
We are replacing some of the aging laptop computers people use at data center. Price of computers are continuing to drop, I wonder how hardware manufacturers make any money.
The built-in microwave oven stopped working last week. I took it out found that this microwave oven was installed back in 1981. That means it has been there since I was in college, 32 years ago. Amazing it lasted this long. I will replace this microwave and paired oven as well.
