Asia Weblog Awards
—
Just heard about the Asia Weblog Awards. I’m up for one in the Best Japanese Blog category (and I swear I’m not the one who nominated the site). If you enjoy my site, then a vote would be appreciated. Let’s see if I can give Joi Ito a run for his money!

The Lights
—
Jeremy at Antipixel has some beautiful pics up of traffic trails that look like something straight out of AKIRA. Pics like these really make me wish I could upgrade my digital camera right now.

Back to Work
—
I’ve finally started work on a new issue of GEISHA, which will be #9. I thought I was just going to start work on it in a week, when my holidays start (lucky me, I have 3 weeks off), but a few ideas popped into my head and so I experimented a bit. Don’t know…
