    Fresh cut. I really should get cuts more often, I always feel so good afterwards — I’m just not big on going to the salon.

    For those who were curious to see what the column looked like in today’s paper and couldn’t get their hands on a copy, here’s a scan. It ran all along one side of the page (top to bottom).

    My new column for THE JAPAN TIMES, called “On Design,” is going to appear in the lifestyle section of tomorrow’s paper (Tuesday), and will continue on a monthly basis every fourth Tuesday.

    Just to update you on the Tokyo Boy podcast — I did some more testing yesterday, both inside and outside (walking around Ikebukuro in busy areas). The recordings done inside seem to be fine. Outside, it was mostly OK, even when holding at different lengths from my mouth. I heard crackling only once, and I’m…
