    I’m going to be guest editor next week at Gridskipper, and I’d love to hear from you: any tips, suggestions, recommendations on things to do, check out, or even avoid in your city (or any place you’ve been to). I’ve got Tokyo covered, and I have travelled quite a bit, but any cool tips would…

    Joi Ito digs tongue. The kind you eat that is, and Gridskipper has a post on it. Also, Nick Denton is the guest editor there all week. Update: And now there’s this post on love hotels, which describes exactly what I did (no, I’m not Gortuk) on my first visit to Tokyo, before I moved…

    Momus is back in town, and he has a new audio blog up: “Shopping in Tokyo.” I notice he bought the watch I’ve been eyeing for months now. D’oh.
