  • Facebook Ejection

    —

    Well, this is certainly annoying. I just tried logging into my Facebook account, and I’m getting a message that my account has been disabled. Can’t for the life of me understand why. I hope it’s just a mistake on their part, because I don’t really want to have to go through the process of rebuilding…

  • PauseTalk Vol. 25

    —

    ,

    Apologies for being so late on this — blame the Tokyo Game Show — but I’d like to thank everyone who came down to PauseTalk Vol. 25 earlier this month. We started as a rather small group, but it swelled up throughout the evening, and in the end we had a good bunch of people…

  • Jean and Brian’s Adventures in the Hot Tears of Shame

    —

    I haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet, but part of the new episode of Patrick Macias‘ Hot Tears of Shame podcast (#30) was recorded at the Arcade Mania launch party, and includes Brian and me. I’m actually a bit scared to listen to it, because I was quite drunk at the time…

  • The Party That Was

    —

    A big thanks to everyone who made it out to tonight’s launch party — and to Cheapyd for the lovely Chimay — it was indeed a blast! We pretty much sold every copy of the book we had for sale, and it was great to see so many people excited about it. As always, being…

    OK, I promise, this is the last mention of tonight’s Arcade Mania party at Cafe Pause. Really. Promise. It’s tonight. 19:00-23:00. Looking forward to it! Pictured, 6955 (Jason DeGroot), who took a break from Fez goings-on to prepare an awesome mix for tonight’s festivities.

  • Back in TYO to Party Like an Arcade Maniac

    —

    , ,

    And I’m back! After a 9-day journey that had me deep in Mao-era communist glory, I have to say it’s good to be back home. And of course, just in time for tomorrow night’s launch party for Arcade Mania at Cafe Pause. I’m really looking forward to having a good time, seeing lots of people,…

  • Where is On Design?

    —

    , ,

    No, my monthly design column for The Japan Times has not disappeared. Last month’s “On Design” was just a shorter version because of space issues with other content on the Lifestyle page, and this month’s column appears next week instead of the usual 4th Tuesday because of this week’s holiday. Also, this week’s Tokyo post…

  • From Tokyo to Beijing and Beyond

    —

    One quick last post before I leave for my trip to China. I’ll be away until the 26th, back just in time for the book launch party. Expect things to be quiet here until then, although I may occasionally update if I’m feeling like it — it looks like we’ll have net access, but I’m…
