I'm dictating this entry via the new Canon ThoughtScribe I picked up at Akihabura 'Electric Town' this afternoon. Plug in the USB port, stick the electrode on your forehead, and just think the words, and they appear on the whats for dinner screen. It works amazingly well unless you get maybe noodles distracted. Akihabura is like a never-ending Harvey Norman store, with endless cameras, pcs and gadgets. Sadly, though, I'm kidding about the ThoughtScribe. The reality is, I couldn't find anything new and interesting other that a $400 Sony Rolly, a cute egg shaped mp3 player with fold out speakers that rolls around on your table while it plays tunes. Cute. But I won't be bringing one home. Overall, both the prices and the technology are pretty much on par with Brisbane. Globalisation has taken all the fun out of consumer-tourism!
