Sony Music Entertainment is dipping its toe into the mobile device market through a deal with chipmaker Intel.

This is rediculous No comment
So my buddy Brian also works within Sony, and has been keeping a rather detailed diary of his exploits both within the company and in Japan in general. Makes for interesting reading, but here’s one entry that caught my eye (dated 10/1):
Breaking a rule I had set for myself at the beginning, I began [...]
Dude, first post on one of the largest earthquakes I’ve sat through in a LONG time; when the earth below you starts moving vertically, you know you’re in serious trouble. Now to brace for aftershocks…

So after watching Adaptation yesterday at Cinema Rise (which I highly recommend)[1], I felt a sudden urge to pickup a few LPs. The movie ended around 9:15pm, so I was skeptical any of the Ciscos in Shibuya would be open. As luck would have it, the Trance/Techno one was, so I popped in [...]
Finally got around to dusting my classical ears this weekend, enjoying a recital by John Williams. No, not the 5ths loving composer; the guitarist. Boy do I miss raw acoustic sound. I had a decent seat, but had to shell out ¥10,000 for it — not exactly your student-friendly price. It’s [...]
I checked out the Aoyama/Omotesando section of Tokyo Designer’s Block this past weekend. I was rather un-impressed — last year’s event seemed a lot less commercial and more about designers expressing their ideas. Perhaps the function was just “thinner and wider” in the sense that there was more going on outside the physical [...]
Much news out there these days about Sun Microsystem’s future, especially since Joy’s departure. I’ve heard a few theories about it, both from the “inside” and “outside”. I’ll have to see what kind of writing Bill Joy produces after he’s mulled the effects of his other manifesto. It’s sad to see this [...]
Simply because all your pants either have to be tailored or replaced. But I guess if you’re the type that views shopping as therapeutic, you get twice the bang — happiness for a slimmer waist, and the shopping high for new clothes :) I like my tailor, but not to have pants fixed [...]
A bit out of date, but if you never did hear Lessig’s talk at the O’Reilly Open Source Conference, you can hear (and watch) it here. Came across it reading up on Reed Hundt.
So many things to fight for, so little time.
NYT has an interesting look at Osaka and Tokyo. Usually if I need my fix of bargain hunting and haggling, I skip over to Akihabara. It’s especially fun with friends who are looking to buy similar items, since buying two often gets you a better price on both. I have noticed, though, [...]
