Hmmm... good question. It started with TB.Grafico, which is what I named my photoblog (which is now just a category on my blog, but at first it was its own separate thing), just cause I liked the sound of the word "grafico" (TB stands for "Tokyo Boy"). For the following project I was trying to think of a name, but decided to see what kind of Portuguese word I could find, and I guess I just sorta stuck with that. I tend to be big on traditions.

Although you told me about your naming policy in the past, you never actually told me why... Monocle is fantastic, by the way, and I picked it up after seeing it here. I also agree with Momus (this is getting to be a habit) that the personal touch has always been one of the draws of sites like this. Sounds good!

Hey, I saw you in Add+ress when I walked past, but you were too distracted. In fact, I'm typing this from Add+ress! Woah!! Let’s make a pdf mag!

Gen, is it possible that you just picked up the first issue? The release date for issue 2 was March 15, and everywhere I went they still had copies of the first issue. NINEAEM looks quite nice!

Got a copy, really enjoying it, although 2300 yen is a stupid price. Might be sold out by now? MONOCLE was available last weekend at the Keiyakizaka Tsutaya.

I think you mentioned this site before for its photography. I especially love <a href="http://www.nineaem.com/002/" rel="nofollow">Nineaem 002</a> and <a href="http://www.nineaem.com/004/" rel="nofollow">Nineaem 004</a>—I could stare at the screen all day long. I really want to get my hands on a copy of Monocle, but I haven't been able to find it. I wonder if anyone knows of where it's on sale in the LA area.

Catcurl, after I died, I did go online to check the FAQs, and found out that you need to be around level 60, and my characters were all at about 52, and I just didn't feel like doing that much grinding.

If so, it's meant to be that way so that they can stick in more Doga time. It's only the second meeting with Kumo-chan that you actually get to kill her.

Some wag the other day said something about how this blog was all about "give us the link and stand aside", but I don't think that's what we readers actually want. Information needs to be grounded in personal experience, personal taste, and so on -- and for that you need a person, obviously! I must say I welcome this new column.
