    Just a reminder that my “On Design” column for this month appears in today’s (Tuesday) edition of THE JAPAN TIMES (in the “Lifestyle” section). It relates to this month’s Good Design Award, and I’ll post a link to it later today (it’s not online yet). Here’s a link to last month’s column. Also, I wrote…

    Time for something I haven’t done in a while, a post describing an afternoon outing. I used to do these regularly, and then stopped because I felt like I was just repeating myself. I also ended up taking lots of pics (over 60), which I’ll post over the week. So I started things out by…

    I used the new mobile version of Tokyo Art Beat today for the first time (I’d forgotten they had updated it — it used to be just the regular site, which was still viewable on most mobile phones, but not very user-friendly), and it’s a godsend. Works great, everything it formatted for a tiny mobile…

    I’ve been using Spaminator for a while now, following the problems I had with the previous version of Spam Karma (a lot of you were getting blocked for no apparent reason) and have been quite satisfied. But the last couple of weeks have seen an annoying amount of comment spams getting through, and so I’ve…

    A sneak peek of the NCM-produced “Mamma Gun sager: Ta en PAUS” menu. Also, the postcards have been printed, and they look great. You can of course pick them up at Cafe Pause (and hopefully other places around the city sometime soon).

    Just wanted to update you on the Mamma Gun t-shirt situation. I will be selling them through my site. We are only producing the white version, and it will come with lettering in yellow, red, blue, or purple, depending on the size (and black in all sizes). I’ll be selling them for 2000 yen plus…

    I haven’t had time (and money) to really look into the 18th Tokyo International Film Festival (until October 30), but METROPOLIS has some good coverage here (as always, link dies after a week). Pictured here is an image from the Zhang Yimou-directed RIDING ALONE FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES, starring Ken Takakura, which opened the festival.…
