Coding standards

I'm really care about coding standards when writing a code. There are some good coding standards out there already but here's yet another coding standards.

Let the spine do the job

I keep forgetting about this theory for a long time, but recently while I was thinking about touch-typing, it suddenly remembered again.

First time I got to know this theory was in the magazine about learning guitar, "Guitar" maybe. It was in the article about "How to master fast picking" or "How to be a shred" or some kind of those things, and It said when you really concentrate on your guitar playing, and when you really playing with a great tone as possible as you can, you are not looking at your guitar neck.

This may sounds a little weird, but it's the truth.

When you see all those greatest guitarist around the world, around the history, the greatest tone was born while he/she was playing with his/her eyes closed. Look at Eddie Van Halen playing "Eruption". Look at Paul Gilbert playing blazing shred lick in "Colorado Bulldog". Look at Stevie Ray Vaughan playing improvised solos. Look at Brian Setzer playing great solo even when he was dancing twist. Those are the answers.

The article says when they doing it, their spine take over and control all those jobs, so looking at the part which looks doing the job doesn't really matter. Spine matters.

I can say that this theory can use when you learn something new. When you type, you learn to touch-type and you are not looking at your fingers. When you run, you are not looking at your legs. Spine will do the jobs.

So, if you want to learn something and get the most out of it, you have to wake up your sleeping spine and have to learn how to let him do the job.

Okay, Wake up, my spine!:-)

Expand your brain capability for another language

I'm recently interested in this category issue, so I want to investigate it more.

Formant frequency

I need to know a little bit more about Formant Frequency to lean non-native language. Are there any formant frequency differences betweeen each languages or in dialect level?

Critical Age & Critical Period

What is critical age and period on learning something new, and Is there any way to append this theory to different fields?

Dying Languages in Japan

I have to think about this situation a little bit more seriously:

This article says that 2,500 languages are dying today, and among these, 8 languages in Japan. One of 8 is my hometown language. I've never thought my hometown language as "Language", different from Japanese, because I've thought it's just a dialect of Japanese. But UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), paris, regards it as a language different from Japanese, like Ainu, and it's in "dangerous" state like other 7 languages in Japan.

To tell the truth, I can understand people who can speak my hometown launguage about 90%, but sometimes I cannot understand 10% because of my lack of using it and there are a lot of small differences between town and villages.

Talking about speaking, the situation is getting worse. I can speak it, but so-so. Maybe it's because even I'm living in my hometown, I haven't had many chances to use it for a long time, and almost never have a time to use it in daily life especially when I talk to co-workers or my friends.

In the situation like that, how can I solve this issue? It's too hard to solve.

My generation don't speak it in daily life and trying not to use it maybe it's because we thought speaking a dialect is uncool. But we have to change our thoughts as one of the speakers of dying language.
