    And so I’m off, leaving TYO-town for the next three weeks in a trip that will first take me to Boston for a week (my wife is doing some research at Harvard), two weeks in my hometown of Moncton, New Brunswick, and then a short two days in NYC before getting back at the end…

    I’m afraid I’m having to cancel the July edition of PauseTalk (Vol. 23) because, well, I’ll be out of the country. I’m heading to the US and Canada for three weeks — first time back in three years — and even though I was hoping to leave a bit later, circumstances made it impossible. Apologies…

    Thanks to everyone who made it out to this month’s edition of PauseTalk (Vol. 22). It was a great group, and gave us a chance to cover some interesting projects and ideas (and thank you Julie for the above photo). Below, as always, is the list of participants. Next month’s edition is scheduled for July…

    What is TB.Pensar? Find out here. I couldn’t very well let this day pass without mentioning that it’s my birthday, although I think vanity is finally going to prevent me from disclosing what number I’ve now hit (not that a quick search won’t reveal that anyway). Every year on this day I tend to look…

    I’ve very happy to announce that today marks the official release of TOKYOLIFE: ART AND DESIGN, a beautiful new tome from Rizzoli that covers Tokyo’s creative output of the past few years. I have the great pleasure of getting a project coordination credit in the book, and hope that you get a chance to have…

    We had a smaller group at this month’s edition of PauseTalk (Vol. 21), but it still made for a pleasant gathering. Talk revolved around a few specific projects this time, and thanks to James for his harrowing account of his work on a reality series currently being shot in Tokyo. The next edition will be…

    In case you’re thinking that the lack of posts here have to do with me having fun during Japan’s Golden Week holiday, if only that were true. Since Saturday, I’ve been hit by a flu/stomach virus, and have barely left the futon. Worst. GW. Ever.

    I’d like to welcome online shop Tokyomade as a new sponsor on the site. They specialize in selling clothes and accessories from Japanese (or Japan-based) designers, shipping worldwide. They’re currently working on a Japanese version of the site as well.

    Some of you have noticed the stealth upgrade I did to the site last night. The green had been there for way too long (since November 2006, actually), and I was really looking for a change. I pretty much re-did the site last Sunday morning, when I woke up and had the idea for the…

    I’m very happy to announce that as of this week I’ve started contributing to Wired‘s Game|Life blog. I’ll be doing a few posts a day for them, mostly covering game-related news coming from Tokyo/Japan. As I tend to do with all of the things I write, I’ll start posting round-ups at the end of the…
