    Oh, Plusminuszero designer Fukawasa Naoto has an exhibition at the Watari-um! Although somewhat dwarfed by Marc Newson’s “Talby”, the electrifyingly stylish “Infobar” came out right in time when people increasingly lamented over the absence of a really cool cell phone on the market. Designer Fukazawa Naoto is known for his creations adapting forms of objects…

    Pause is currently hosting an interesting visual/sound installation by Keisuzuki called “Dustleum.” A mic hovers in the middle of the cafe, and making sounds under it, like clapping your hands, creates random graphic visualizations that are projected on a wall. There is also a DVD for sale. It lasts until December 16. The image above…

    Apple has just launched its Canadian iTunes Music Store, and this means that I can now buy music from them — I have a Canadian credit card, which lets me create an account there. Even better is the fact that it seems like us Canadians are getting the best deal out there! Even though Canadian…

    “Retro-futurist science fiction art bath?” Yeah, count me in. Here comes an upgraded version of Complesso Plastico’s installation that only a very limited number of people were lucky enough to experience at this year’s CET event. The artists themselves speak of a “legendary work”, and that surely is what it deserves to be called! An…

    I’ve started playing around with my new scanner, and here’s the flyer I picked up at the Compound Cafe in Sangenjaya a few weeks ago. Reminds me that I’m due for another visit!

    This afternoon I was at Muji Yurakucho, and saw that they’ve finally setup their Muji+Infill house display (pictured above left). From what I can tell, it’s actually for sale, and I so want one. How sweet it would be to have a bit of land on the outskirts of the city (somewhere like Kamakura or…
