  • The 1IMC Blog

    I was really sorry to miss the First International Moblogging Conference this past Saturday because of my trip to South Korea, but it seems that thanks to Gen Kanai, I can have a good rundown of what happened. You can also read the opening presentation by Adam Greenfield, the organizer of the event. Update: Pete…

  • Dog + Pikachu = Love

    Found this hilarious short clip through Nadine’s Tokyoshoes blog. A dog who gives Pikachu a rough intro to lovemaking. Nadine was telling me about this video when we met up last week, and she was saying how one of the pictures in the Link Link outdoor photo exhibit kept reminding her of it. Here’s the…

  • Before Korea

    This is more than likely the last post I’ll be writing before the trip to Seoul. I’ll be moblogging all day, but only at the 24:00 site, which I mentioned the other day. I’ll start posting as soon as I wake up (which will certainly not be at 8). I might add those posts later…

  • Mfop2

    I was at the Mfop site to check my settings for the 24 hour moblogging event I’m participating in tomorrow (well, actually later today) and I see that Kevin has now launched a big upgrade to his program, which he calls Mfop2. Looks very cool, as you’ll now be able to post multiple images in…

  • Amelie Nothomb

    A few years ago a friend of mine lent me one of Amelie Nothomb’s novels (I forget which one), and I’ve always meant to pick up another one. Today’s DAILY YOMIURI featured an article on the film adaptation of one of her novels, STUPEUR ET TREMBLEMENTS (FEAR AND TREMBLING), by French director Alain Corneau. This…

  • Wall

    A close-up of the stone wall that surrounds a neighbor’s home. These are quite frequent in my neighborhood.

  • SOB-A-MBIENT

    There’s a new compilation out called SOB-A-MBIENT; Music for Your Favorite Soba Shop. It features two tracks by Yasuharu Konishi, and you can watch a very nice video for one of them at the site. My friend Patrick picked it up today (along with other goodies), so I should get to hear it very soon.
