fig_3g-hi-speedLast Saturday night I was shopping in Kawasaki, which offers the tech geek a variety of stores all withing walking distance of each other. There is Yodobashi, BIC, Sakuraya, and a host of mom and pop stores. I tend hit the major electronics often, to see what new goodies I might spend my hard earned money on.
