Well okay, maybe not everyone, but the housing craze doesn’t seem to be tapering off anytime soon. I just found out today my friend Carl, who runs whatweate.com just bought a house and is throwing a warming party in a few weekends. Then there’s Mitch, who not only bought a house but a [...]
I haven’t been very good about updating recently thanks to a rather hectic schedule and general crappiness, but I promise to post some goodies soon. In the mean time, I somehow managed to lose a substantial amount of my hair. Actually, although my work environment was very cool about my
My one year anniversary of joining corporate Japan is quickly approaching, and after spending some time last week during vacation reflecting on the past year, I have concluded that one important activity has been missing: continuous exercise. Residents of Tokyo can probably sympathize with the difficulty of enjoying “natural”, “outdoor” exercises such as jogging [...]
It seems the proliferation of image-capture devices of all kinds is starting to really piss people off. I snapped a photo of this ad while on the Yamanote JR line this past weekend; I was in a bit of a hurry so the text is unreadable, but it essentially says “Taking a photo of [...]

Salon has an interesting article about a coalition of tech companies working together to keep the “internet neutral” from cable’s big grip. For example:
“Imagine if you called 1-800-L.L.-Bean and your phone company said, ‘Sorry, we’re not going to connect your call because we have a deal with Land’s End.’” For telephone service, that would [...]
Just returned to Tokyo after a wonderful week with the family in New York (so great a city, they had to name it twice), and attending the marriage of my friend Ben to Becky. Ben and I spent a good number of years attending the same academic institutions — 3 years in highschool and [...]
Forgot to mention I am off to NYC to visit the family for about 10 days. They had moved a few months back, so this is my first time seeing the new apartment. The view is simply incredible. I wish the weather were a little better, but even on an overcast day [...]
