  • Dreaming Pachinko

    —

    I just finished reading DREAMING PACHINKO, the third novel by Isaac Adamson. I’d been wanting to read one of his novels for a while now (as mentioned a few weeks ago), and decided to include the book in my latest order to Amazon. I can’t say that it’s an amazing read, but I did have…

  • Axis 104

    —

    And since I’m on the topic of magazines, I’ll also mention the most recent issue of AXIS, #104, which I picked up on my way to the airport two weeks ago to read on the flight over to Seoul. Features a great article on designing retail, and takes a close look at a few retail…

  • North Korean Fashions

    —

    Only the best for the Dear Leader.

  • Tokyo Godfather

    I just saw a teaser on TV for an animated film to be released in November called TOKYO GODFATHER. I have never heard of this, and have no idea who’s behind it, but oh man, does it ever look good. Beautiful animation (think AKIRA), images that leave you wondering about what kind of mystery is…
