Very clever ad, but not for this product. I don't see the cure to distraction as getting "in and out" quickly. The iPhone gets me in and out again much quicker than my previous phone which is the whole reason I check it so often.

If you go to a meet-up organized around a Japanese language website, you will see more native Japanese. We don't really advertise this event anywhere but here. There is an active startup culture in Japan but it is quite different than in th

Don't spend all of your money on toys… Great advice, but be sure to spend some of it on toys! Also, pick toys which have utility, make you work out, teach you something, and are different than the past toys you've bought. Try to learn from
