    First thing this morning I went to the Junkudo bookstore in Ikebukuro, and was very happy to find 2 stacks of copies of the first issue of MONOCLE in the foreign magazines section. They even had them on one of the top shelves, with a small info card next to them, which they don’t usually…

    I had quite a productive day yesterday, starting early in Harajuku, followed by an interview session for the METROPOLIS podcast (about a piece I’m writing for them), and then some more walking around Aoyama. Took plenty of pictures — including that new building in Harajuku I’ve been talking lots about — and I’ll put those…

    So, 2006, it’s here, and I’m already feeling good about it. For me, it’s going to be a mean, lean, productive year, hopefully full of interesting projects into exciting new avenues. Yesterday (the 1st), I finally got to playing around with 37signals’ Backpack, something I’d been wanting to check out for a while, and I’m…

    Damn rain! I was planning on going out to Ginza today, for my monthly gallery tour, to stop at the Apple Store to get my iBook looked at (one speaker doesn’t work properly), and to record my first Tokyo Boy podcast. Well, doing all that in the rain just doesn’t sound too enticing, so I’ll…

    And things get even more interesting regarding the Japan iTunes Music Store — take it to the man! I imagine Marxy will have a few choice words on the subject. Last week Apple launched its iTunes Music Store in Japan with great success, becoming the number one such service in the country. Now Japanese musicians…
