    Despite my cold and the surge of work, I’m still ready and rarin’ to go for this week’s Tokyo Design Week festivities, and I wanted to post something to update you on my activities during the week. First, as you all know, we have the “Creative GBG” event happening at Cafe Pause in Ikebukuro, again…

    As of yesterday, my MacBook Pro is sporting the nice new look of Leopard. Big thanks to my wife who stood in line at Tokyo University to pick up a copy — even though the Apple Store barely offers a school discount, at the university they were selling it for around 8000 yen, pretty much…

    I’ve just been through one of the worse weekends ever. A trip to Osaka mixed with a nasty cold — my first cold of the year though — means that I’m behind on my mail correspondence, promised posts, etc. I’m getting better, but still not back to normal, so it’s going to take time to…

    The more I use my iPod touch, the more I love it, which of course means that I’ve taken interest in webapps and sites that are specifically formatted for the device. Sure, the beauty of the iPhone/iPod touch web access is that you can view any site, and zoom in to read, but it’s also…

    What is TB.Pensar? Find out here. It’s been quite a while since I’ve written one of these, and honestly, I don’t know why. I’m sure I’ve written at least 4-5 of them in my head, but for some reason never got around to putting them into writing. First off, it’s official, I’m writing a book!…

    October’s PauseTalk (Vol. 14) saw a return to the group sizes that preceded the smaller summer editions. Most of the time was spent with presentations this month, which saw Carsten Schneider, Jane Stockdale, and Thomas Antonietti share some of their recent work, and then David Marx, Keiji Ashizawa, and Max Hodges talking about new projects.…

    The latest segment I did for the TOKYO EYE program is currently airing in this week’s episode (#48, you can see the broadcast schedule on NHK World here). It covers the Sanya area, which has long been known as an area with cheap hotels (frequented by day-laborers mostly), but in recent years has turned its…

    Time to spread some sponsorship love to TAB Jobs, the site for creative industry job listings in Japan — you’ve probably noticed them in this site’s sponsors sidebar. If you haven’t checked recently, here are some current jobs on offer: Assistant Director (101 Tokyo Contemporary Art Fair) Flash Developer (Less Rain Tokyo) Web Designer (A.C.O.)…

    Yes, that’s right, believe it or not, but there’s a new episode of my TOKYO BOY podcast up! It was recorded yesterday afternoon in Ginza, and was cut short because of a little incident that involved blood… How’s that for a tease! As with the recent episode of my TB.MUSICA podcast, it uses chapters so…
