Quick, you have a presentation at Pecha Kucha Night and haven’t had time to prepare. What to do? Oh, just head over to Delicious.salted.com, which will create a PKN-formatted (20 slides) presentation from your last twenty Del.ico.us bookmarks.
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 in March.
PLAY is a series of events with Jean Snow spinning some of his favorite virtual discs in a casual setting at Cafe Pause. The next edition happens in January. See the setlist for previous editions here, and subscribe to a feed of the mixes.
Being a survey of recommended titles for your gaming pleasure. New games are added 2-3 times weekly, and all selections are by your host, Jean Snow, a Tokyo-based writer and gamer.
Jean Snow is a contributor to Arcade Mania, your guide to the arcade gaming scene in Japan (Amazon US/Amazon Japan). He also provided assistance on Tokyolife: Art and Design, a guide to Tokyo's cultural output of the past few years, covering the works of over 80 influential creatives.
He will be contributing to the upcoming fifth editions of The Rough Guide to Tokyo and The Rough Guide to Japan, due for release in 2011.
I'm also a proud member of the Pecha Kucha Night family, working on various projects, including updating Pecha Kucha Daily, a blog that highlights the creativity coming out of PKN events worldwide.
I serve as editor-at-large at Néojaponisme, a web journal covering social and cultural aspects of Japan. Read the manifesto, by founder and chief editor W. David Marx.
What a small world it is. I’ve been reading your blog for a while, and then you post a link to a company who’s founder I am friends with.
I did my first pecha-kucha ’style’ talk a week or so ago, it was pretty damn nerve-wrecking, but the fast pace helped me through I think.
Stuart.
Awesome link Jean. If only I could get tickets for some of the Pecha Kucha events in London. They sell out almost instantly :(
Stuart, in what city did you do your presentation?
Is the London one that popular? Wow!
I gave a presentation on widget development for osx at the most recent geekup – http://geekup.org in Manchester, England. The Style of the talks isn’t always pecha kucha, but it is encouraged by the organisers.
If London get full, Gothenburg is just a cheap RyanAir-ticket away ;)
