    The next edition of PauseDraw — PauseTalk‘s sister series all about drawing — is just around the corner, taking place on Sunday, October 16, at 16:00, at Shibaura House, the same place as last time (pictured in this post).

    Even though I’m no longer in Tokyo running my PauseTalk events, it warms my heart to see that its offshoot, PauseDraw, is still going strong.

    This is a post to celebrate the release of the Branching Paths documentary, which I just love so damn much. Go buy it here. So what’s this Branching Paths thing all about then?

  • Miki Saito

    I’m so happy to see artist Miki Saito getting a lot of attention these days. The best thing about hosting PauseTalk all these years was that it gave me the chance to meet so many interesting and creative people, and Miki was one of those people. She was a regular attendee since returning to Japan.…

  • A Creative Tokyo Canvas

    —

    Canvas gives a permanent and accessible digital database to Tokyo’s creative community. It’s something that was often brought up at PauseTalk over the years, this idea of building a proper database for all of the interesting creatives who would attend the events, which would then make it easier for everyone to reconnect, or just to…

  • Domain Dance Redux

    —

    The domain dance is not quite done yet, but things are mostly working. As I wrote the other day, I decided to transfer my domains from GoDaddy to Name.com, and I’m pretty happy with what I see of the interface of Name.com, and how easy it is to set up things (like MX records to…

  • This Is October

    This is this, and that’s that. A bit of an update on the various things I’m involved with, starting with the very happy announcement that was made a week ago that PressPause is coming back for a second season, starting on Thursday, November 6 (at 20:00). We – me and my fellow organizers, Daryl Cole…
