    What have I been doing during the current Tokyo heatwave? Mostly staying indoors (except for the occasional mountain hikes), often at the cafe, and putting together these Speakerdog paper toys. I can’t stop making them, and I imagine I’ll have quite the army by the end of the month.

    The new issue of OK FRED (10) is out, as seen here at Tower Records, on the 7th floor. My latest column, now renamed “Nakameguro no Omiseyasan,” covers a second-hand store in the area.

    At the end of PauseTalk last week, Paul Baron picked up my new camera and ended up recording this short video with it (as well as taking a few photos, which I’ll post later), as I’m talking about some of its features.

    My current workspace at home. I usually do most of my writing at Cafe Pause though. I took the picture for Matt Fraction‘s Deskset Flickr group.

    For longtime readers, you know that my battle with Japanese is an ongoing one. I’ve gotten to a point where I can converse casually, but I still can’t use it in a professional manner, and more annoyingly, still can’t read more than headlines and the like. I’m constantly in and out of the books, but…

    I got a new camera today. My old one, a Canon PowerShot A95, had been giving me trouble for about a month now, often times not responding properly, and it finally stopped working completely a couple of days ago — the real sad thing is that I only realized it as I was being given…

    It came to my attention (thanks, Roy) that the Feedburner feed to my site, which is the one I link to, wasn’t updating. I guess the problem came from the update I did to my WordPress installation (to 2.2) recently. It’s fixed now, so the feed should be updating as usual.
