If you are a foreign resident traveling to Japan, you can purchase goods in Japan duty free (consumption tax is currently at 8%). Ant it is not limited to the airports.
Responsive web design (RWD) is an approach to web design aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones)
What does it look like?
Take a look at a calendar we developed for Ezell's Food Trucks. Although the content is the same, the calendar view is completely different between the PC browser and smart phones. PSPINC is dedicated to develop or adopt your website to Responsive Web Design using Web de Xpress CMS developed by PSPINC. http://www.webdexpress.com
I heard it somewhere "the reward for your hard work is harder work."
It is so true. Until you quit, you are always ask to do more of harder things.
But that is not a punishment, that is your reward.
As a part of our web and social media maintenance, we can update all your web and social media sites. Starting this week PSPINC will take care of Ezell's web maintenance and Social Media Updates.
I waked Bellfield Office Park with Pompom and found the building with the "OUTERWALL" sign. I did not know the company, so I looked it up today. I found this is the company behind RedBox and Coinstar. Wow!
When I came to Seattle as a General Manager of Japanese computer software company, I opened the office in Bellfield Office Park in Bellevue. Today, I walked the very park with Pompom and found the evry offuice building I was in almost 30 years ago.
I had offuce here until 1987, just before I started Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. This is where I have lerned to hire and managepeople ... At the end I learned to fire 17 people and closed the company. I don't want to do that again.
1309 144th Ave SE, Bellevue, WA 98004 ... I still remember the address.
Because of the the difference between the US and Japan, many of mu friends already got their Apple Watch and they seem to like it. I was surprised by the number of Facebook friends in Japan who purchased Apple watch.

I played quick 9 at ALDARRA. It's warm and greens are fast. As you can see, I putted 20 times for the score of 47. When your short games are off, you cannot play a good round.
This happens a lot more than you think. Almost all change orders are caused by the misunderstanding of the project. It is very important spend enough time to really nail down the soecifications before single line of code is written.
1/4 of all websites are built using WordPress … 90% of security problem happening with WordPress sites. WordPress needs to be moved to VPS and monitored regularly. It is a good system but it is not a build and forget it system.
PSPINC needs to create a dedicated web hosting environment for WordPress users.
The goal of social media for your company is to create as many followers as possible. So, what would you do if you had 10,000 or even 100,000 followers? What can you do with it?
Think about it. If you like what you can do with it, think about how you can get that much followers.
Have yo ever thought about how much electricity a TV uses?
My house TV broke this morning and I want to replace it with energy efficient model. So, I dud a little research and came across this article.
$150 PackageComes with PC and KeyboardAll in one bluetooth all in one keyboardPC Itself … smallReally SmallDongle you see is for bluetooth.What's in the box.setup … You need USB keyboard (I think)
Bluetooth did keyboard did not work at first.Usual thing.I know that...From the unbox to this … it took me over an hour.
It should not take that long but I'm not a Windows user.I can control it from my desk … very far … too smallI can see the weather … Big deal.Finally I have a PC in my room.
I bought and installed iView PC for may HD TV.
I just set it up.
This is what it showed.What is this mean?
I guessed I had to connect A-TV to iTune.I connect it to MacBook AirUsing the USB cable.This is what I saw on the iTune.Restore StartedWhat is this mean?No choice but to agree.DownloadingA-TV is just blinking.Restoring.Install is almost complete.Now back to A-TVIt is set back to factory setting.
My Apple TV Crashed today. What it showed on the screen is very puzzling.
This is Tropicana Motel and Motor Lodge in West Hollywood.
It was on Santa Monica Blvd. This was the very first hotel/motel I stayed when I came to study in the US back in 1978. Every morning, I woke up to the smell of coffee and butter. That was the America. I did not speak a word of English but somehow I manage to stay alive, went to school, graduated. It's good to find some pictures of where everything started.
I received the King Country Valet today asking for approval to purchase and upgrade emergency radio system for the country. It will add $0.07/$1,000 to your property tax.
Here are the things that I thought;
- King County printed and mailed tens of thousands of valets to people. How much did it cost to do that?
- It will cost me postage to send this valet back to the election office. How much money is that for everyone?
- It will tax the people who own property in King County, yet this valet is sent to everyone who lives in KC whom may just rent. Why should people who are not affected by this tax have any say about it.
- The wording is that it will add $0.07/$1,000 … If you own a house that is worth $300,000 (about the average house in KC) will cost you $27.00. That sounds a lot higher than $0.07/$1,000 …
- How much is the radio anyway?
This should be a part of on going maintenance and upgrade … they just spent everything they had and now asking people to pay for the replacement. That's just simple mismanagement.
PSPINC does create custom websites. We have been doing this since 1996. But our focus has been changing for last few years. We are moving from 100% custom website to CMS (Content Management System) based websites. This offers two possibilities to our clients.
Do-It-Yourself Customers
The CMS that we created enables customers to create a template based web development and maintenance, which saves money. The CMS package is standard on our web hosting products and it is free to use.
Do-It-For-You Customers
We have an ability to customize the CRM to meet your needs. Because the website is built using CMS, it is faster to build and easier to maintain the contents. This will cut your website development time in less than half and will save you money.
This CMS system is a part of DreamersI Domain-Web-Email hosting solution but we made this CMS as a standalone service and made it available for free at http://www.webdexpres.com
Please go to above site and register your business domain and start using this template driven web development system,
I walked about a mile this morning with 3 dogs. Mayumi is on business trip to Japan, so that I am watching over Tiny and Nano. I waked Kelsey Creek Park this morning. What a beautiful day!
When you have a product idea, you need to fund it. Your option was a venture capita, wealthy individuals, bank and other financial institution. Now, you have another option called cloud funding. Here are some of the cloud finding sites.
Today is the major league baseball opening day (actually it started this weekend) for Mariners. This is not a Safeco Field … It is a baseball field near our office. They are getting ready too.
When you have products to sell, company message to spread, let us build the website for you. We design, build, register your domain and host your website. You do not need call anyone else.
We are very close to releasing new website for Ezell's Famous Chicken. We had a final meeting today at PSPINC. They brought us their chicken … I guess we can say "WE WORK FOR FOOD", literally. We will let you know as soon as the new site it online.
They gave me this.It's sorted by city … not by number.Ask for an date … they should have today as default.It asked me for 4 digit number … I have to dig for my receipt.
then the system stopped.
So I tried on iPhone...The system is dead … I am not taking this survey.
I shopped at Safeway this morning and they asked me to take a survey online. When I got back to my office, I went to their website to take a survey. The system stopped working just after a couple of pages. This is not good. You always have t make sure the company you are using has enough capacity to handle the traffic. Also, the programming must be good enough to handle a volume.
