    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…

    Today’s edition of THE JAPAN TIMES has a piece by Justine Parker on foreign creators and journalists doing their thing in Japan’s art and design scene, and you should recognize quite a few of the names featured (yes, yours truly, as well as Pausetalk, get mentions).

    I’ll post the participant list for PauseTalk Vol. 20 later this week — 22 participants, pretty good considering the entire cafe has 24 seats! For now I’ll point you to a Flickr photoset by Rafael de Lima, who attended last night’s edition.

    Just a reminder that following last week’s cancellation, tonight (April 14) marks this month’s edition of PauseTalk at Cafe Pause in Ikebukuro. Start time is 20:00, and for those interested, a few PauseTalkers will again meet in front of the cafe at 19:00 and then get ramen together.

    What is TB.Pensar? Find out here. How fitting that this is the lucky number 13 edition of this series of posts. Damn my stupid pollen allergies!!! Aarggghhhhh… Sorry for the loss of control, but it’s really been a rough week, with no end in sight. It’s sad, really, because this time of the year used…

    While on the topic of White Rabbit Press, let me also mention that the third and final volume of their kanji flashcards sets is now available for pre-order. The set includes 903 cards, covering what you need for level 1 of the Japanese proficiency set. Some of you may recall that I posted about the…

  • I Love Nakameguro

    ,

    Following last week’s post about Nakameguro and whether it’s a hip neighborhood or not, I feel like I need to post a follow-up, since I think a lot of people have gotten the wrong impression regarding my feelings on the area. I love Nakameguro, it’s an area I like to go to and spend time…
