  • DVD Player Discount

    —

    Remember that great region-free DVD player (Beans) I got last week from RegionFreeJapan.com? Seems like the post I wrote sent a few readers their way, and as a thank you they’re offering a discount to new orders. Jean, this is Jim from RegionFree KK (www.regionfreejapan.com). I processed your order for the Beans S-901HG. Thanks for…

    I am now the proud owner of a MacBook Pro. Man, this machine is sweet!

  • Beans DVD

    —

    ,

    I am now the proud owner of a ridiculously named Beans DVD player (S-901HG — a Google search shows it’s quite easy to find on lots of Japanese auction sites). My old DVD player — a Shinco, something I had bought online from Hong Kong 5 years ago — has been sick for quite a…

    —

    I’m writing this from Co-Lab (previous post here), sitting in the Chin Music Press cubicle, where I’ve been finishing up this month’s edition of my “On Design” column (due tomorrow).

  • In Time

    —

    I’m very happy to say that my first piece for TIME magazine, “Capital Hill,” is in this week’s issue (April 17, 2006). It appears in the Asian and European editions of the magazine, in the “Global Adviser” section, and you can read it online here — it’s on Omotesando Hills. I’ve already filed a few…

  • Snapazoos in HK

    —

    I’ve been getting a lot of orders for Snapazoos from people in Hong Kong these past few days, and it seems that it’s tied to the fact that they got mentioned in a magazine there. So for anyone coming to the site for that reason, I do indeed ship to Hong Kong (and to anywhere…
