Jean Snow is Production Services Manager at Ubisoft Shanghai.
Previously, he was based in Tokyo for over 15 years, where he lived and breathed design, pop culture, and gaming, sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes (he was also Executive Director at PechaKucha). He has reported on these obsessions for various online/offline publications, including the following: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, 1UP, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Wired’s Game|Life, PingMag, CNNGo, Phaidon, and The Japan Times.

Educated Community is a free bilingual (Japanese and English) magazine from New York, “focusing on what’s happening in the street scenes of New York City and Tokyo.” I’m trying to get more info on it, but a lot of the links on the site don’t seem to work properly. I’m wondering if someone in New York has seen/read an issue, and if so, what they think of it. You can find a list of distribution points here. I found out about it through the latest issue of +81 (which is a must-have issue).
