    Wanted to update everyone on what’s happening with PauseTalk Vol. 35. It is not happening tonight (first Monday of the month) because I didn’t want to have one during the design week, and since the cafe is not available the following Monday, the November edition is set to happen on the 16th. This will be…

    Just a note to say that this month’s edition of my “On Design” column for The Japan Times is pushed back a week, and will be published on Thursday of next week (October 29), on the eve of Tokyo Design Week.

    Chances are you’ve already noticed the tweets and a few posts last week, but yes, I was very happy to see the new CNNGo site go in public beta mode last week. Although it may come off at first as just a new travel portal, the audience for the site are really the expats, the…

    Posting this again for those who missed it earlier this week: due to my continuing health issues, I’m going to have to cancel the planned October edition of PauseTalk, which was set to take place this coming Monday (5th). The next edition will happen in November, probably on the second Monday (November 9), so as…

    So get this, as if an injured spine wasn’t enough, now I get diagnosed with a kidney stone. Luckily it’s a relatively small one (2-3mm) so is supposed to disintegrate by itself, but along with the waiting process goes a lot of water drinking and some very painful interludes — pain medicine for the win.…

    If you’re reading this through a feed reader — and based on my stats, most of you are — clicking through to the site will reveal something a bit different. Truth be told, I’ve hated the look of this site for quite a while. I started planning for a change back in January, but a…

    After getting rid of the beard a couple of weeks ago, I think it’s now time to say goodbye to the ‘stache.

    The rumors are true: despite me still having to stay on my back most of the day while my spine heals, I think I’m in good enough shape to walk over to the cafe and host PauseTalk this month, so hope everyone can make it. If for nothing else, come see me in my scary…

    Big thanks to Tim for sending this photo of me he took at last year’s launch party for Arcade Mania — a year late, but still great. That box from Tobu I’m holding was a giant bottle of Chimay, courtesy of my friend CheapyD. Hmmm…. I miss drinking beer — doctor has me on an…
