The new PechaKucha website is now live. It’s been live for a few days now, and I hope you all take some time over the holidays to check it out, and see what we’ve been up to for a good part of the past year, and take in a few presentations. It’s a drastic re-imagining…

Let’s have a Merry PechaKucha Christmas. The other day I wrote about how I’m not very Christmas-y here in Japan, but we’ve decided to have a bit of Christmas fun with this month’s PechaKucha Night here in Tokyo. We usually skip December — so many people are away — but this year we decided to…

The Codex is going Christmas-y for a second time. Two years ago, in the very early days of the Codex — my almost weekly podcast — I recorded a Christmas episode, and I’ve decided to do another one. I don’t even celebrate Christmas here in Tokyo. I’ve tried a few times, me and my wife…

I saw Skyfall, and I loved it. I was quite nervous going in, afraid the film wouldn’t live up to the extended — and, frankly, ridiculous — anticipation I’ve been fueling for the past few months. But it was great. Truly great. I loved the story, the pacing, the characters, the cinematography — dude, that…

Time to rock. It would be fair for you to have forgotten that I usually produce an almost-weekly podcast calledCodex, in which I play some of my favorite tracks of the moment. I’ve produced 60 episodes since November of 2010, and you’ll find every single one of them — along with the complete track listings…

I’m a giant Bond nerd, I truly am. Not only did I buy the new 50th anniversary blu-ray collection that includes all 22 films so far (as well as a slot to add in Skyfall), but before that I owned all of the previously released blu-rays (11 films), as well as the entire series on…

Thanks for giving. We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in Japan, but quite a few people were in a giving mood last night for our special “PechaKucha x ArchiAid” event, held at our regular PK home here in Tokyo,SuperDeluxe. The event brought together architects to share projects that they’ve been working on under the ArchiAid umbrella,…

A space. For games. There are a lot of terrific Kickstarter projects that deserve your attention, and I would need daily posts to describe all of the ones I find interesting. I would like to highlight one in particular though, and it’s for the LA Game Space. My friend Daniel Rehn is behind the project…

A boy, his dog, and his iPad. The illustration above was produced by my very good friend Luis Mendo, who is currently in town working with me on PechaKucha-related projects. It was done earlier this year to accompany an article I wrote for an independent magazine, but because of delays in the release of the…

The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel. Not too long ago I wrote about how cyberpunk was occupying my current mindspace, and it continues to do so. Strangely enough, on the day I wrote that post I found out about Cypher, a new text adventure game with…
