    Yuko studying very hard. What you see near the bottom of the picture is her new pride and joy, an electronic Chinese-Japanese-English dictionary. She got a nice communist red cover for it.

    I’m sort of late on this (the event covered the month of April, so only one week left), but this Ongoing event seems interesting. From the RealTokyo description: This month, a number of bars, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. around Kichijoji station are turning into art spaces. As part of a project aiming to “create occasions…

    This is just great. Norio Kobayashi has documented the ins and outs of his kitchen with a digital camera. Enjoy the huge amount of pics at his site, which are also being shown at an exhibit in Hamburg right now. Link found via esthet.org.

    I think the moblog should appear at the proper place on all browsers and OSes now. A big thanks to Patrick for pointing out a solution (setting fixed sizes for the title fonts, to which I also reduced the spacing between letters). From what I’ve heard, things are OK now. Sorry again for the recent…

I’ll soon put up some archive pages, setup a proper index page just for the moblog, and also probably add the ability to add comments to the moblog entries. Only 3 more days until Golden…

    I’ve just registered with the JapanBloggers Webring, an offshoot of the JapanBloggers mailing list, which has recently put me in contact with some incredibly friendly people who were instrumental in the implementation of my new moblog. I’ve added the code in the info box to the right (if you’re reading this entry from the index…

    Uniqlo, the Japanese clothes store that was doing gangbusters when it first started a few years ago and is now feeling the pains of the recession, has entered the design t-shirts market in a big way. There are hundreds of t-shirts available (as well as lots of design-your-own kits), they are all dirt cheap (the…
