  • 2005

    This weekend I managed to finish going through the posts of 2005 (all 1063 of them). As I was going through these posts, I could see that it was a really important year for me. My first professional writing work started in 2004 as I became editor of MoCo Tokyo (a spinoff site to MoCo Loco, where…

  • Eighty

    Lordy, lordy, look who’s… 80. The next edition of PauseTalk is just over a week away (happening on Monday, July 7), and not only is it the Vol. 80, but it also marks the 8th anniversary of the series. (Well, last month would have been the true anniversary, since I started it in June, but…

  • PauseTalk Next Monday

    Just a reminder that PauseTalk Vol. 52 is just around the corner, happening this coming Monday (July 4) at Cafe Pause, with a regular start time of 20:00 (feel free to come earlier though to hang out before the official start). I’m quite looking forward to it, as I have a few friends in town…

  • PauseTalk Tonight

    Just a reminder that PauseTalk Vol. 51 happens tonight (Monday, June 6) at Cafe Pause. The cafe is reserved from 19:30, and the official session starts at 20:00. Looking forward to it!

  • PauseTalk Next Week

    PauseTalk Vol. 50 didn’t mark the end of anything, on the contrary, we kick off a new era — well, numerically speaking at least — with Vol. 51 this coming Monday (June 6) at Cafe Pause. As always, the cafe is reserved from 19:30, and the official session will kick off at 20:00. Come on…

  • Tomorrow’s PauseTalk Vol. 50

    So tomorrow (Monday, May 9) will mark the 50th edition of PauseTalk, and to commemorate the event I’ve decided to prepare a few things, both pictured below. First up is a little booklet I quickly put together that talks about how PauseTalk started, what it’s about, and gives thanks to every single person (well, at…

  • PauseTalk Vol. 49

    I’d like to once again thank everyone who made it to PauseTalk Vol. 49 at Cafe Pause earlier this month — it was held on April 4. I remember a lot of great discussions going on, and although it mostly focused on the Japan Earthquake and its aftermath, I think it still fit the bill as a…

  • Global PechaKucha Day – Inspire Japan

    If you’ve been to the front page of this site sometime this week (I have to assume that many of you reading this in your feed reader), then more than likely you’ve noticed the giant banner I have there now. It’s for the big Global PechaKucha Day – Inspire Japan event I’ve been working on…

  • PauseTalk Tonight

    Just a reminder that tonight (April 4) is PauseTalk Vol. 49 at Cafe Pause — the official session kicks off at 20:00, but I usually show up around 19:30, so feel free to come early as well. From the Facebook event page so far, it looks like we’ll be getting a good group. As I…

  • PauseTalk Next Week

    I figure a lot of people are probably wondering whether there will be a PauseTalk next week or not — considering all of the events that have been cancelled of late — and after having spoken with the Cafe Pause manager, we’ve decided to go ahead and have one. Since the earthquake and following a…
