    Robb, my editor at Tokyo Q, points out that Google Maps now covers Tokyo! It’s fun trying to zoom in on certain locations, like Meiji Jingu, or Tokyo Tower. Update: Get a load of Muji’s Yurakucho store’s red roof!

    Even though I’ve lived in Tokyo for years now, I was in Takadanobaba (two stations away from where I live) for the very first time tonight. Met up with Craig, who brought me to a great little Okinawa restaurant (loved the taco rice), and then we sort of wandered around, ending up sitting under Waseda…

    So I did my week of Gridskipper (3rd time), and had a pretty good time doing it. Sure, it’s a hell of a lot of work, but as I go along I seem to be getting a better handle on it. Here are the Tokyo-related posts I did (I really tried not to rely on…

    Quick rule of thumb: don’t make any gallery outing plans towards the end of the month. During my walk through Harajuku, Aoyama, and Shibuya yesterday, I checked out the following, only to find that they were between exhibitions: Lapnet Ship, Nadiff, Spiral, and the Logos Gallery. Oh, and I’m sort of disappointed with the KDDI…

    I was going to just stay in Ikebukuro yesterday, run a few errands, taking it easy, but then Yuko had to go to Shibuya (more precisely, to the Todai Komaba campus) and so I went with her. I started out by going to Tower Records to check out the magazines, and it’s when I was…
