    I’m writing this from Co-Lab (previous post here), sitting in the Chin Music Press cubicle, where I’ve been finishing up this month’s edition of my “On Design” column (due tomorrow). It’s quite nice — I took a tour of the area, checking out the various floors and meeting spaces — and I must say that…

    I’m very happy to say that my first piece for TIME magazine, “Capital Hill,” is in this week’s issue (April 17, 2006). It appears in the Asian and European editions of the magazine, in the “Global Adviser” section, and you can read it online here — it’s on Omotesando Hills. I’ve already filed a few…

    I’ve been getting a lot of orders for Snapazoos from people in Hong Kong these past few days, and it seems that it’s tied to the fact that they got mentioned in a magazine there. So for anyone coming to the site for that reason, I do indeed ship to Hong Kong (and to anywhere…

    Spotted this one near the Bape Busy Workshop store in Harajuku, while I was walking around the area with Digiki — which is what ended up inspiring this Gridskipper post. Update: A reader points out this map of Space Invader occurrences in Tokyo.

    After not buying any for quite a few months, I’ve finally added some new frogs to my Frog Style collection. These are from the new Vol. 13 series, and are (from left): Argyle Frog, Recycle Frog, Miyabi Frog, and Shirogumi Frog. The funny thing is that I actually bought 5 (you get them from capsule…

    They say that today is pretty much your last chance to see the cherry blossoms, since a rain is probably going to take care of cleaning up the trees. Me, I’ve been trying to spend some time away from the computer (to everyone waiting for email replies, I’ll catch up tomorrow), taking it easy, doing…
