    I’ve had an account on Flickr for ages, but never did anything with it. I’ve never really found any use for all the community sites that have come and gone over the past few years, and this just felt like more of the same. But I recently read an article at Wired News that made…

    Octopus Dropkick! is a fun group blog covering Japanese pop culture. They put up a lot of video from Japanese TV, so well worth checking out for that alone.

    Momus has been doing some high-density blogging of late, and a recent entry takes a look at some Japanese-related cultural artifacts that you should be aware of — and it reminds me that I really need to write a MoCo Tokyo entry on Atelier Bow Wow. You should also download “I Refuse to Die,” and…

    Lots of cool talk happening at Neomarxisme. Agree with him or not, it’s nice to see how the discussions are affecting the new posts, pushing things in new and unforseen areas.

    The biggest thing to have happened while I was experiencing my domain problems was the launch of Tokyo Art Beat, a new indispensable site for anyone who’s into art/design events happening in Tokyo, and best of all, in English! Your TV has 12 channel, Tokyo has over 300 art venues. Tokyoartbeat.com offers the most comprehensive…

    Yes, QR Barcodes are cool (I use one on my site to point to the mobile version of my site), but I never thought that they would be used as blog content. Link via In-Duce.
