    Yuko lost her mobile phone the other day. Well, she didn’t exactly lose it, she dropped it in the huge fountain in front of her library at Todai. It was impossible to retrieve (it’s quite deep), and so we had to get her a replacement. After some visits to Bic Camera and Sakuraya, we ended…

    Just a quick note to announce that the site will be switching from using Movable Type to WordPress either tonight or tomorrow. This won’t affect readers of the web version of the site, but I’m posting this here now while still on MT for you RSS feed users, as those will change. The following are…

    We were about to go to this ramen shop in Suidobashi, but as we got there we found out that it was a fish-based soup, a taste I don’t really care for. Ended up going to a Freshness Burger across the street. We decided to walk to Ochanomizu to come home, and I spotted a…

    Inside Atelier Muji, at the flagship store in Yurakucho. They had some really nice things on display, objects from different parts of the world that might lead to future Muji products.

    Let’s celebrate the return of my iMac (and TB.Grafico) with a couple of shots of the Apple Store in Ginza. Shots taken with the A5403CA mobile phone. Update: Patrick lets us know that Towa Tei will be giving a talk there this Thursday (June24). It’s actually part of a SAL magazine event that “will introduce…

    Just a quick note to say that I’m back on the iMac. Talk about a quick turn around: after it got picked up Saturday night, I got it back with a new HD early monday morning. On top of feeling speedy (probably mostly because of the clean install of Panther), they cleaned it up to…

    Sorry for the lack of posts, but I’ve fallen in love with a little thing called WordPress. It’s blog software, like Movable Type (what I use to power this site), but open source, and entirely based in PHP and MySQL. It took 5 minutes to install. It’s powerful as hell. All the tags are PHP…

    It’s a nice sunny Saturday, and we leave our place unusually early (noon) in order to make it to the Muji flagship store in Yurakucho for lunch at Meal Muji. After a nice healthy lunch and a bit of shopping, we make our usual stop at the Okinawa shop (picking up a Taco Rice kit…

    My iMac’s hard drive is now dead, and I’ve migrated to my iBook. Can’t get used to the small screen though. As soon as everything is clear regarding my Applecare coverage (seems that I hadn’t registered it properly), the HD will get replaced, and hopefully it shouldn’t take too long. Everything was backed up, so…
