    And now we see him a few hours later at the Parco Book Center in Shibuya. I never realized that book signings could be so hectic. Shot taken with the A5403CA mobile phone.

    Here’s a larger picture of the Rolly booksigning that I moblogged the other day. Here he’s signing at the Libro bookstore in Ikebukuro, which we passed through to get to the train line we were using to get to Shibuya. As for those who don’t know who he is, I guess you could call him…

    Looks like the new Ginza Apple store is doing well. From Apple’s first quarter financial conference call: “Tokyo Apple Store first month sales were highest ever; $1 million per week.” They also announced that an “Osaka, Japan Apple Store [is] opening in Fall 2004.”

    I’ve had this in my list of “exhibits to visit” and I thought I’d post it up here (I like to post stuff here as reference, which I can later easily find through the site’s search function). FUTURE CINEMA takes place at the NTT InterCommunication Center Gallery until February 29. Here’s a blurb on the…

    Santouka is Yuko’s favorite ramen shop in Ikebukuro (the main shop is actually in Ebisu). Their specialty is shio (salt) ramen, which is what we always take when we go. We went there the other night, it had been a while since our last visit, and I’ve got to say that it was pretty damn…

    I absolutely love this flash animation that was one of the winners at the annual Rockstar Games upload contest. Unfortunately, the section of the site with all the entries doesn’t seem to load on Safari, even though I have the latest version of Flash. Link via Jesper.

    Gotta love the slogan for the new JR East campaign. Subliminal manipulation by Patrick.

    I finally got a chance to read VERTIGO POP! TOKYO, which came out 2 years ago from DC Comics’ Vertigo label. Written by Jonathan Vankin and brilliantly illustrated by Seth Fisher (I absolutely need to see some more of this guy’s work), it’s a four issue limited series that takes you on a wild ride…
