iPod Bar

From TUAW:

Gizmodo is reporting that Apple has installed an “iPod Bar” in the Tokyo Apple Store, which functions like the Genius Bar, but fields only iPod-specific questions. I can just hear the Genius Bar workers from across the globe exclaiming, “We’re sick of resetting iPods!” Hence the iPod Bar was born. Check it out if you live near the Apple Store in Ginza, Tokyo.

Update: Momus posts his own thoughts on the site. Oh, and the site’s name translates to “Haikyo Deflation Spiral.”

Echika

You know all that annoying construction that has been going on for months now at Omotesando station? Well, it was all for a new underground shopping/food court called Echika, set to open on December 2. Doesn’t sound terribly exciting, but I hope it means that all exits will again be open.

Designing the Perfect Balance

tokyo design week snowMy Tokyo Design Week article that appeared in today’s edition of THE JAPAN TIMES (in the Arts section) is now available online. The piece was published with additional reviews by Sébastien-Philippe Fortin, which you can read here. For some reason, last Tuesday’s “On Design” column still isn’t online, but hopefully will be up shortly.
