    This month’s edition of my “On Design” column is in today’s THE JAPAN TIMES (and online here). The theme is “back to school,” and in it I cover MUCU‘s stationery line, the Muji Pencil Sharpener, the HORI Stationery Style Set for Nintendo DS lite, KOKUYO’s mini stationery set and PILOT’s Putimo pen, and the Pantone…

    Anyone know what this is all about? It’s a promotional site for Onitsuka Tiger, but I don’t really get what it’s promoting. Update: Josh Spear has more: Check out this clever promotion for shoe brand Onitsuka Tiger called Made Of Japan.

    What is TB.Pensar? Find out here. My latest addiction? PUZZLE QUEST (for the DS, although a PSP version is also available)!

    The next edition of PauseTalk is coming up (April 2), and I wanted to update everyone on things. First of all, the 8mm Film Project.
