Coldstone, Krispy Kreme, Burger King, Wendy’s…where’s the natural food? Now, the American Shake Shack franchise is trying to break into the Japan market.
Not exactly health food, but burgers that are close to those coming off the BBQ and milkshakes made with real milk and ice cream will definitely help. It’s great to see people enjoying the new brand. Will it catch on? That’s the big question.
G1 Conference At Globis Tokyo
Typhoon Hits Tokyo
We went to sleep in Tokyo to the sound of the winds and heavy rain. Didn’t realize how strong the typhoon was.
The rubble in front of this building is what remains of the signage from a first floor coffee shop. A lot of acts of nature this year around the world.
Apple Watch- Nice Tool, But Slow Out Of The Gates
The Apple Watch (iWatch?) is great for tracking your activities and setting timers/alarms. As a watch, you can’t see the time unless you raise your arm or tap the face. The Pebble watch was better in that aspect because the display was always on. Now Fitbit, Garmin and most the other makers are always displaying, just not as pretty as the “iWatch”.
There is one thing you should never do, never turn it off. It happened with the different watches we tested.
One morning after jumping on the running machine at the gym we realized the device was shut off. Turned it on while running. It took 5+ minutes into the work out to boot up. (Wow! It must be running Windows 3.1.) It’s okay if you don’t mind staring at the Apple computer logo, but if you want to get the time or track your work out, you’ll miss that.
Mentioned the good features above; what are your favorite features of the Apple Watch?
Delta Airlines Flies Last 747 Routes- Jet Is Retired
Delta (previously Northwest Airlines to most of us) has just sent off it last 747 flight. The flight goes from HNL to LAX and ends in Detroit.
Been on a lot of Boeing 747s over our lives. We’re thankful for this large jet that help make the world a bit smaller. Transportation and technology are making the world a smaller place. We don’t build jets but we certainly have the technology that can help you get your job done and take better care of your clients. Very excited about our cloud phone service iPBX Hosting.com. Our technology helps people better communicate.
We’re glad you were built but with your massive size and age has shown. The last few times have been a bit noisy and shaky. After taking a 787 it’s hard to go back. But now, we don’t have to. 😉
Farewell to the 747!
This POS (Point Of Sale) Has A View
This cash register, POS, the place they take your money, certainly has the best view in the world.
Five Steps To Being A Great Relationship Builder
Have written this down in notes over the weekend. They called it something about networking, but there are some good points on being a good relationship building.
- Dress to stand out from amongst the rest
- Don’t barge into a conversation
- Follow the three “E”s – in a conversation- Entertain, Enlighten, And Enrich
- Be someone with something to offer to others
- Read the non-verbals in a conversation and know when to start and when to stop.
Found A Little ‘Sanity’
Strange product names in Japan. Interestingly, this was on a shelf above a toilet in a burger joint in Tokyo. ‘Sanity’ here is an air freshener.

AINEO is a communications technology company. We’re 20 years old this month (May 2017)! As communications or “comms’ means phones, email, chat, video, and document collaboration, it’s hard to give an elevator speech since comms are an essential part of business.
We did this video to give people a feel for our iPBX Circle product. It’s all about collaborations. Check out our new video, you can get it all in 90 secs!
Waking Up Monday Morning
This guy picked a strange place to sleep on Sunday night. He’s sleeping at a Tokyo station early Monday morning. He couldn’t have been drinking, could he?
