iCal Tokyo Events
I’ve gotten two suggestions this week (and they both happen to be from Tokyo-based designers) about sharing an iCal event calendar on the site. So I’m putting it out there, would there be an interest in this? Basically, it would be a schedule listing design-related events that I compile, and to which you could subscribe…

Gmail Accounts Giveaway
Even though I haven’t been using my Gmail account much, I recently noticed that I have a bunch of invitations for beta accounts, so I figured I’d offer them to readers of the site. After all, a while back it was a reader who was kind enough to offer me an account for Yuko to…

Mobile Sites
Now that I have my new WIN phone, I’m trying to find some good sites that are mobile phone or PDA-friendly. Good RSS feeds are also welcome (full feeds, as excerpt do me no good as I’m looking for some stuff to read). Since getting the phone, I’ve been reading the great mobile version of…

LiveJournal Feed
A reader pointed out to me that there is a LiveJournal feed to my site (don’t know how it got created though), so I’ve added it in the list of feeds that you’ll find in the sidebar. Speaking of feeds, I’ve finally started getting into RSS feeds (of other sites) after having discovered the recently…

Moblog Images Get Bigger
If you click on the latest moblog image in the sidebar, you’ll notice that you now get a pop-up window with a larger version of the pic. I will now be moblogging with pics twice as big. A huge thanks goes out to Patrick, for helping me set this up. I was planning on moving…

The Yappy Thread
Looks like we have a new record-length comment thread (40 comments and counting), and it’s for a post that’s just over a day old!

QR Barcode
You’ll notice a new addition in the sidebar: a QR barcode. I don’t know if these are very common outside of Japan yet, but here they’re getting more and more popular. Basically, you point your QR enabled mobile phone (mine isn’t) to the barcode, and it registers the data, which in this case is the…

Date
Is there a point to having everything dated? I’ve already ranted about the fact that to me this site is more like a magazine (at least that’s the way I approach it), and I’m questioning the use of dates and time associated with all posts. Is it necessary? I mean, does anybody ever visit archives…
