    I’ve started putting up the pictures I took in Singapore on Flickr. The best thing to do is probably to subscribe to my Flickr RSS feed to find out when new ones are posted. Also, you’ll notice that I recently added a section in the sidebar that shows the last 5 pics uploaded to my…

    Got the following from Octopus Dropkick: This is a clip from an upcoming feature “all-3d CG animated musical” from Digital Frontier, the company behind the recent CG version of Masamune Shirow’s Apple Seed.

    The Manga News Service has just launched. Looks like it’ll be a nice news source for all things manga. I like that they’re keeping it very simple on their site (text-only), but where’s the RSS feed? Link via Warren Ellis.

    In his new OUT OF TOKYO column, REALTOKYO editor in chief Ozaki Tetsuya talks about a new guide to alternative art spaces in Asia. The title is “Alternatives 2005 — Contemporary Art Spaces in Asia”, and that’s just what it is (though including Australia). Introduced are a total of 170 alternative spaces and other art-related…

    Big thanks to everyone who chimed in with suggestions on things to see and do in Singapore. I’ve been highlighting stuff in my guide these past two days (I bought the one from the Insight Guides collection, a series I’ve been buying for a few years now — I’m a very visual person, and I…

    As the REALTOKYO reviewer mentions, it’s too bad the pastries on display won’t be for sale.
