  • Cafe Pause 5th Anniversary Party

    Just a reminder that Cafe Pause‘s 5th anniversary party — which I posted about earlier this week — happens tomorrow night (Saturday, February 21). Entry is free, and doors open at 19:00, with live acts starting at 20:00 (there are three scheduled, with Taichi playing third at around 21:00), and the cafe will be open…

  • TB.Pensar 15

    What is TB.Pensar? Find out here. I’ve been wanting to do one of these for a while now, to highlight a few things I’m working on, and slowly prepping. As most of you know, I had a rough end to 2008, but I can honestly say that things are really good right now, and I’m…

  • Here Is Jean Snow

    Well, it’s finally happened, my first piece of recognition back home. The current issue of my hometown’s weekly free paper Here has put me on the cover for a story about my life in Tokyo, and my involvement in Arcade Mania. Thanks to my friends Marc for the scan of the cover (he also took…

  • PauseTalk Vol. 28

    Just a reminder that following a skip month, PauseTalk returns this coming Monday (February 2) at Cafe Pause. Start time is 20:00 as usual, and I’d urge everyone who plans on coming to try and arrive on time, because it’s a bit awkward to have people arrive throughout the session — I know it’s unavoidable…

  • The Jean Snow PKN Explosion

    Apologies for the bombastic title, but I am very pleased to report that I am now going to be working with KDa on PechaKucha Night-related projects. There are a lot of exciting projects down the line that I can’t really talk much about, but for now one thing you will be seeing my input quite…

  • Macau 2009

    No one comes to this site to see my travel photos, and to be honest, over the past few years I stopped taking photos during trips almost entirely. I don’t really know how it happened, but I think I got to a point where I felt that it got in the way of me enjoying…

  • Off to HK

    I’m off to Hong Kong until Sunday — accompanying my wife who is attending a conference — and so expect things to be slow here until then.

  • UnPinged

    It’s with a lot of sadness that I post this, on the final day of 2008. As has just been posted on PingMag, our dear web magazine is done, or as officially stated, placed on “extended hiatus” — the site’s archives will remain online. Yes, the closure comes as a result of this “global economic…

  • Inside Wired

    Here’s a look at the page in the current issue of Wired with the Arcade Mania mention. Definitely nice to see!

  • Arcade Mania Is Wired

    Good news on the Arcade Mania front: the book was picked up for the January issue of Wired (17.01), as part of its “Playlist” corner — Wired‘s equivalent to monthly picks. And this gives me another opportunity to remind everyone that the book is available pretty much everywhere now.
