    I recently picked up the latest issue of KOHKOKU magazine (February 2004), which is a bilingual special issue taking a look at what Japan needs to do to better its tourism industry.

    Get your very own Momus t-shirt at the recently launched Mome Popstore. Other designs will appear soon, so I’m waiting for that before placing an order. The soft toys are nice too.

    I’m already starting to visualize a new version of the site. Yeah, I know, version 3 wasn’t launched that long ago, but I’m always trying to think up of new and better ways to convey visually what it is I’m doing. My new keitai is also making me rethink things. I want to start moblogging…
