Sakura Version

It’s finally sakura (cherry blossom) season in Tokyo, and as you can see, the site reflects it. I’ll keep this sakura version of the site up for about a week, just so you can experience all the pink that I’m seeing everyday when I go out.

A big thanks to Patrick for the cool little PHP program he created that lets me easily change the colors of my logo, without having to make a new one.

I was wondering about the logo… but I should have guessed it was Mr Patricks work… :)

Yeah, good ol’ Patrick to the rescue! It’s a nice little program.

Only problem right now is that I’ve just lost total control of my blog. I was changing the password, and then somekind of error occurred! I’ve been searching through forums, looking for fixes… Heeeeeelp!!!

Jean Snow lives and breathes design and pop culture in Tokyo -- sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He has reported on these obsessions for the following online/offline publications: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Game|Life, and The Japan Times. He also manages the gallery space at Cafe Pause.

Jean Snow is a daily contributor to Wired magazine's game blog, Game|Life, covering game news from Japan and beyond.

Tokyolife: Art and Design covers Tokyo's cultural output of the past few years, covering the works of over 80 influential creatives. Jean Snow provided coordination assistance.

The Superfuture Superguides are a series of PDF travel guides to some of your favorites cities, updated monthly, and obsessively compiling the best places to shop, eat, and drink. The Tokyo guide is edited by Jean Snow.

He is also the design/culture editor at Neojaponisme, a web journal covering social and cultural aspects of Japan. Read the manifesto, by founder and chief editor W. David Marx, here.

PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition happens August 4 (there is no July edition).
