  • SNOW Magazine Part 2

    Continuing with my look at the soon-to-launch SNOW web magazine, I’d like to start by doing something I forgot to do in the previous post — I’ve of course made a quick and easy iPhone wallpaper with the logo, which you can download here. So why launch a web magazine? It’s an idea I’ve long…

  • SNOW Magazine

    I finally announced it in my big year-end post, and now’s the time to start revealing more details about my soon-to-launch web magazine, SNOW. I don’t want to give an official launch date — it sort of depends on when everything is ready to do go — but I can tell you that it will…

  • MoCo Loco Top 5

    How’s this for a first post of 2010, a photo of myself! It’s actually for my “top 5” that was just posted at MoCo Loco. My selections are taken from all of the “This Week from Tokyo” posts I did in 2009, and are (in no particular order): Jo Nagasaka’s PACO, the Reading Lamp, the…

  • From 2009 to 2010

    At the turn of each year I tend to post something here about how the year has ended for me and what I have in store for the coming one, and so that’s what I’m going to do right now — I used to do these in the form of my “TB.Pensar” columns, but I’ve…

  • Rough Guides
