    In a recent post, Robert takes through a nice tour of the Kanda/Jinbocho area. He’s got me wanting to go there now, especially to the Tokyo Random Walk design bookstore! And that Saboru cafe looks excellent (I think he’s mentioned once wanting to bring me there). In his words, “a great place to go and…

    I forget to mention it, but I recently got a Gmail beta account (thanks again, KS). The big features are that you get 1GB of space for your stuff, and that since it’s from Google there are advanced search features. Haven’t played around with it that much, but I was mostly happy to get one…

    I’m thinking of finally implementing categories in the site. Might make it easier for those of you who are only interested in certain aspects of what I cover here. Also, each category would have it’s own RSS feed, so you could just subscribe to the feeds you like (and there’s also a possibility that some…

    Waste away the hours by having a look at Japanese designer Yoshimaru Shin’s superbly titled YOSHIRUMACHINE site. Seems like he’s involved in the organization of quite a few events, like a recent one for the band Tennis Coats (and their label Majikick), and an upcoming one (July 18) at Uplink Gallery for 360records’ Miroque.
