Sharp Service

Posted on February 3, 2013 by Jean Snow

Sharp TV, sharp service. We have a 45″ Sharp Aquos TV, a 2006 model that I think we bought in 2007. It’s been a great TV to have, but then a couple of months ago it started acting up. Occasionaly, … Continue reading →

Posted on December 29, 2012 by Jean Snow

A Codex Christmas

Posted on December 11, 2012 by Jean Snow

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 … Continue reading →

Falling for Skyfall

Posted on December 4, 2012 by Jean Snow

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. … Continue reading →

Back to the Codex

Posted on November 26, 2012 by Jean Snow

Time to rock. It would be fair for you to have forgotten that I usually produce an almost-weekly podcast called Codex, in which I play some of my favorite tracks of the moment. I’ve produced 60 episodes since November of … Continue reading →

PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in 2003 as an event for young creatives to meet, network, and show their work in public, using the PechaKucha 20x20 format. It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world.

PauseTalk is a Tokyo-based 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 creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition is June 3.

We hereby define a new term, that of the magaziner, described as a person who exerts an unhealthy amount of love for all things magazine. The Magaziner is a site that mostly focuses on the intersection between magazines and the digital frontier, and what it means for the medium.

The Codex is an almost weekly podcast featuring an eclectic mix of music, hosted by Jean Snow and recorded live in Tokyo. Complete playlists for all episodes are posted on the website, and you can subscribe to RSS feeds of posts and episodes. The show is also in the iTunes Store.
