    One thing that’s happened to me over the past few years is that I’ve pretty much stopped taking photos. Sure, the odd iPhone-to-Twitter shot is still a regular occurrence, but in terms of taking photos with a relatively descent point-and-shoot — in my case, a series of Canon PowerShots — either for this site, for…

    I may not have talked about it a lot here on the blog, but I’ve certainly tweeted a bunch over the years my love for tonkatsu spaghetti, which I get at this great little pasta joint in Ikebukuro (not far from Cafe Pause) called Nobu. I like it so much I’ve even added the place…

    Yesterday after getting lunch at the nearby Maison Kayser — it’s the one located inside Ikebukuro’s Sunshine City with a terrace, so it’s dog-friendly — we decided to just start walking, with the general idea of heading towards Iidabashi. Three wards later (Toshima, Bunkyo, and Taito) we ended up not only stopping for a drink…

    My dog Confiture did in fact get a lot of love at last night’s PauseTalk (Vol. 40), posing with a few of the attendees. Much thanks to Martin Holtkamp for the photo above.

    Here I am, acting all serious and shit at the “control center” this past Saturday for the big “Global PechaKucha Night for Haiti” — in the foreground you see the back of the head of Mark Dytham, and my PechaKucha colleague Tomoko. The photo is courtesy of Arvin Panwar — more photos from that night…

    If you follow my Twitter feed, then you may have noticed all of the tweeting I was doing while in Kyoto this past weekend, and more importantly, adding the @hitotoki tag to all of those tweets. The reason is that I’m currently helping with the beta testing of the soon-to-relaunch Hitotoki, and as you can…

The show, “Hanami,” runs until January 20, and Martin should be on hand tomorrow (January 11) at PauseTalk Vol. 37 to talk about the show, and he’ll also be presenting at this month’s PechaKucha…

    When I posted a link to those great stereoviews of old Japanese life, Kristen Elsby let me know about a group pool she’s been hosting on Flickr called “Japanese in Yesteryear,” for found photos. This is a group for portraits and snapshots, both formal and informal, of the people from Japan’s past (as well as…
