THE WIRE is a popular documentary TV program by HBO. I am determined to purchase this complete dvd box these days, for I was fascinated by the plot.
HBO放送人気TVドラマシリーズ「THE WIRE」。ここ最近、そのあらすじに惹かれ、コンプリートDVDボックスの購入を画策中。
Description:
The heat is on in Baltimore. The drug war is being lost, bodies are piling up, and a desperate mayor wants the tide turned before the election. But the police department hasn't got any answers. With the demolition of the Franklin Terrace towers, Stringer Bell and the Barksdale crew have been forced to improvise. But no matter how hard McNulty and the detail try, the dealers always seem to be one step ahead of the game.

The movie, A Scanner Darkly (Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson, Winona Ryder, 2006: Warner Independent Pictures), is now playing. In this movie, you can see the special effect 'Rotoscoping', which is a technique where animators trace live action movement, frame by frame. This movie must be unavoidable to check. Incidentally, the official web site of this movie got FWA award, Site of The Day.

Let me introduce a familiar web site I found while looking for hotels for my NY stay. It is a little rare in terms of web sites of hotel all designed with Full-Flash. It is one of the great web sites introducing details of the hotel exhaustively with its rhythmical tempo of scrolling pages, making people feel unstressed, and they seem to succeed in getting people to feel a kind of modern NY style by its BGM of Jazz Crossover.
New Yorkでの滞在先ホテルを探している途中に見つけた懐かしいサイトを紹介。ホテルのウェブサイトではめずらしいフル・フラッシュサイト。ユーザーにストレスを感じさせないリズム感で、そのホテルの素晴らしさを余す所なく紹介している素晴らしいサイトの１つだと思う。また、BGMのジャズ・クロスオーバーによって、そのモダンなNYスタイルを演出している。

Nikon announced the release date of brand new Digital SLR Camera 'D80' featuring a 10.2 effective megapixel Nikon DX Format CCD image sensor is
Sep.9, 2006. I think, on account of its price set almost equal to D70s and its specification bearing comparison with D200, it looks worth getting this new one.
ニコンが、有効1,020万画素数CCDを搭載したデジタル一眼レフカメラ「D80」を今年の9月1日に発売することを発表。D70sとほぼ同程度の価格設定のうえ、D200に遜色ないスペックを考慮すると、非常に買いな気がする。

Eric Roberson performed in ISLAND SOUL, which had been held at Harbourfront Centre during Aug.4-7. Eric Roberson, who has been gradually becoming more famous with works of Dwele, Jill Scott, 112, Carl Thomas...etc, is actually not so popular in Japan, but here in Toronto, I don't know that is because it is near from NY, many enthusiastic fans had been getting excited to listen to his music during whole the live show case. The quality of his performance which has been cultivated in his long career as an artist made us feel that he is the very professional as an entertainer. To sum up, It was much more remarkable performance than I had thought.
8月4、5、6、7日にHarbourfront Centreにて開催されたイベント「ISLAND SOUL」にEric Robersonが出演した。日本では（最近、Dwele、Jill Scott、112、Carl Thomas等の作品で名前を聞く様にはなってきているものの）さほど知名度はないが、やはりNYから近いというコトもあり、ここトロントでは非常に熱狂的なファンがパフォーマンスを終止盛り上げていた。長年のキャリアからにじみ出るそのパフォーマンスの質の高さは、エンターテイナーとしてのプロフェッショナルをそこに感じることができた。とにかく予想していた以上に素晴らしいパフォーマンスだった。
Eric Roberson a.k.a. ERRO /
