    There’s a new pontiff in town, and he goes by the name of Alin (and he’s a friend of PauseTalk too). I love this image, and wish I could take such great pics with the iSight on my MacBook Pro.

    When I mentioned last month’s issue of EYESCREAM, I made reference to OK FRED editor-in-chief Yoshi’s quest for a new bike. Well, he got it — in auction, from France no less — and it’s looking fine! I expect to see him racing around the city in no time, despite the cold weather.

    Back in December at the start of Huschang and Sonia’s exhibition at Cafe Pause, we had a little get-together, and I met a web designer, Minja Toeniges, who I promptly convince needed to get a Wii. Well, looks like she quite enjoyed it (she was lucky enough to get one the very next day), and…

    Added 5 more frogs to my Frog Style collection after a visit to the Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara, and witnessing their absolutely insane number of gacha-gacha machines. These are from the Summer ’06 series.

    While in Akihabara the other day, I picked up this “Stationery Style Set” for my new DS lite. I love that it replicates stationery from real Japanese brands — the “pencil case” and “pencil” (touch pen) are Tombow, and the “eraser” (screen cleaner) is Mono. You just know that a stationery geek like me had…
