    It seems that the FeedBurner feed to the site had gone down after my update of WordPress (I think it had to do with the setting I used to redirect the feed produced by WP to the FeedBurner one). It’s back up now, and I do hope that you continue to use it as it…

    I love that Patrick continues to search the city for signs of QP. His latest moblog find (what you see here) is a bit of a strange one (found in Minami-Asagaya). Update: And while on the topic of street tags, Patricks points us to CBCNET‘s photolog, TANK.

    I mentioned the works of Tokyo-based Canadian video artist Jerome Olivier a while back, and he lets me know that his 24-minute short film, “Missing Pages (amended version),” an interesting motion/photo mix that he describes as “fotomation,” is now completed. You can view the opening 7 minutes on his site.
