  • This Week in Magazines

    The latest issue of PEN (163) takes a look at life design, meaning it covers items that are part of our everyday life from a design perspective. It’s a nice way to spotlight things that we don’t usually consider much. BRUTUS (581) offers up a “Books to Travel With” feature, with most of it dealing…

  • My Dream Come True

    I can’t even find the words to describe it, but I am beyond happy — I’m going to see The Pixies perform live in early December (on the 5th at Zepp Tokyo), and this, my friends, is a big deal for me. See, The Pixies are, well, my all-time favorite band (I know that sounds…

  • DS on a Strap

    Are theses little gacha-gacha mini-DSes great or what? Need to get one, now! Found on Kotaku. Oh, and am I the only person who is completely obsessed with SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS? Quite possibly THE game of the year, and certainly a worthy follow-up to ICO, another game I was quite obsessed with. Update (16/09/04):…
