    Some of you might remember me alluding to a possible new writing opportunity a while back, and I can finally announce that I’ve become a Japanese correspondent to Gizmodo, part of the Gawker Media empire. A couple of months ago, I had the great pleasure of spending some time with the man behind Gawker Media,…

    I’ve started putting up the pictures I took in Singapore on Flickr. The best thing to do is probably to subscribe to my Flickr RSS feed to find out when new ones are posted. Also, you’ll notice that I recently added a section in the sidebar that shows the last 5 pics uploaded to my…

    Big thanks to everyone who chimed in with suggestions on things to see and do in Singapore. I’ve been highlighting stuff in my guide these past two days (I bought the one from the Insight Guides collection, a series I’ve been buying for a few years now — I’m a very visual person, and I…

    My last posting of the year. I’m at home, finishing a cup of Kirin Namakuro after a great meal (assorted foods from the Seibu depa-chika). The TV is tuned to KOHAKU – just now we enjoyed a quite powerful rendering of the theme song for SHINSENGUMI, this year’s NHK taiga drama. I’m ringing in the…

    A change of plans. Instead of heading to Kyoto, this morning we made reservations for a trip to Singapore! It’ll be our first time there for the both of us. I’ve never had that much of an interest in going there, but it ended up being one of the best packages available right now, and…

    I like this bit, from Pico Iyer reviewing Donald Richie’s JAPAN JOURNALS: 1947-2004 in last week’s TIME (Asian edition): The expatriate in Asia is often a complainer: things are so different there from the way they are in wherever he thinks of as home that he feels aggrieved, ripped off, patronized or left out. The…

    I got my business cards in the mail today, and they look so nice. Again, a million thanks to Jesper for the design. You know, NCM, his design company, is currently available for some new jobs.

    I was chatting with NCM designer extraordinaire Jesper last night, and was telling him that I wanted to get some business cards done. He quickly volunteered to design some (to my relief), and without any directions from me (except maybe to keep it simple), he quickly came up with these. I absolutely love them, and…

    You’ll notice a new logo in the sidebar. I’ve always been a big fan of the Superfuture site, and as of now I’m writing reviews for them, as well as news bits. My first review, of Pause Cafe, is up. And a big public thanks to Wayne, co-creator of the site, for the excellent Superfuture…
