  • A Morning in West Tokyo

    I haven’t been writing much about my cycling adventures of late, but I do go out pretty much every morning for a spin in the city. I recently picked up a Thermal Ride Jacket and Insulated Cycling Gloves from Mont-Bell, and so the cold weather isn’t at all an issue. I also wanted to pick…

  • Upgrading the Bike

    I mentioned the other day that I was in love with my MUJI bike again, and that’s because I finally went out and got some upgrades done. For the past few months it had been riding horribly, to a point where I didn’t really like going far with it, and my plans to meet up…

    Following up on last month’s “Creative GBG in Tokyo” event at Cafe Pause, I hand the mic over to Jesper to talk about a contest to win some of the items that were on display: “Creative GBG” at Cafe Pause is long over, but it is still present in our hearts and minds. Remembering such…

    Sponsors, I’ve got sponsors, I’ve got stacks of lovely sponsors (should be sung to the “stacks and stacks of letters” melody) — the current group includes H.I.S. Experience, TAB Jobs, Chin Music Press, and Tokyo Recohan. Click, visit, and show some love!

    Now this is what I call a satisfied costumer! And a good chance for me to plug the SUPERFUTURE SUPERGUIDE for Tokyo, which I edit. It’s updated monthly, so expect info that is more in line with what is currently out there (compared to regular guides that only get updated every few years).

    Tonight (December 3) is this month’s edition (Vol. 16) of PauseTalk at Cafe Pause, with the usual start time of 19:30. Things will be back to normal following last month’s special edition — which I admit was more an evening of presentations compared to the regular talk format. Looking forward to it!

    Instead of having an empty signboard at the entrance of Cafe Pause, I decided to start a seasonal poster series. First up, a contribution from Tokyo-based graphic designer Ian Lynam. Below is a better look at the poster. Thanks, Ian!

    I was looking through the stacks of photos taken by Sebastian Mayer during Item Idem‘s “Display Sthetics” installation (and our Radio OK Fred sessions) during design week, and figured I’d share a few that include me. Up top, me trying to take some shots of my own. After the jump, me and Marxy (yes, he…

    I have a piece in the current issue of the Asian edition of TIME (Vol. 170, No. 21), covering the dining bar 57 in Roppongi. You can read it online here.
