  • New Piece in Time

    —

    ,

    I have a piece is this week’s issue of TIME (Asian/European editions) on new Japanese Airline Starflyer. You can read the article, “A Starflyer is Born,” here.

  • Podcasting in Metropolis

    —

    Last week’s issue of METROPOLIS had a feature on podcasting — coinciding with the launch of the Metropolis podcast. They also add a sidebar for “Ten More Recommended Japan Podcasts in English,” and two podcasts that I’m involved with, Tokyo Boy and Radio OK Fred, got mentioned. Nice! OK, time for updates on those podcasts.…

  • More on PauseTalk

    —

    ,

    A few updates regarding PauseTalk (see previous post for more). I’m thinking the first one would happen Monday, June 5. After that, it would continue on the first Monday of every month. I’m looking at a start time of 19:30. I think that’s late enough for most people to finish work and get something to…

  • New Favicon

    —

    I noticed not long ago that the favicon for my site had disappeared, probably due to a server move last year. I took the opportunity to make a new one, which you should see now in the address bar — if you don’t see it, try refreshing or clearing your cache.

  • More Site Updates

    —

    You know, with it being Golden Week, it’s a good time to be tinkering with bits of the site (and I’m enjoying doing so at Co-Lab today). After adding (or rather I should say bringing back) the TAB badge in the sidebar, I’ve just added probably the most requested feature following the re-design of the…

  • PauseTalk

    —

    ,

    I’ve been sitting on this idea for about a month now, and I figure it’s about time I put it out there, and get some feedback. Partially inspired by PechaKucha, I’d like to create some sort of monthly meetup at Cafe Pause for creators/designers/writers to get together and talk about current projects, current trends, etc.…

  • The Bad with the Good

    —

    The universe decides to balance the scales again — the same week I got my new MacBook Pro, the screen on my old iMac (that I was still using the create my wireless network among other things) went dark. Since the 3-year warranty has expired, and with this Apple support discussion thread suggesting that the…
