Most people start their year on the 1st of January. In keeping with Japanese custom, this year I’ve decided to start a fresh look on April 1st. My wonderful girlfriend, business partner, and personal sanity-checker whipped together this new design in an afternoon after being fed-up with the bland previous theme.
I hope to keep the [...]
This is kinda cool – The Panopticons.
My favorite is the Singing Tree, at the bottom.
I love Neatorama, btw.
With only an increasing user base, Mac development has an exciting future. The IndieHIG hopes to bring some consistency and clarity to one of Apple’s biggest strengths: clean and meaningful UIs. Check out their IndieHIG Wiki and IndieHIG blog. This is a great idea!
It looks like Mixi’s popularity and IPO success has budding entrepreneurs going head-over-heels trying to snap up any remaining market. An invitation to Asoboo (which means “let’s play” in Japanese) just passed my inbox so I created an account and gave it a quick run. There’s a clear web2.0-y flavor to it, [...]

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 [...]
Forgot to mention that it’s happening this weekend (starts today!) Check out the map — looks to be quite a scavenger hunt for expressions of modern ideas. Lucky me, much of it is in my neighborhood :)
Any building by these guys. They’re also doing the Tokyo Apple Store in Ginza. My dream complex will be done by them :)
Short blogging hiatus due to a server move; things should be up and running now though. What I missed posting about:
William Gurley writes about a “digital hand” in reference to Adam Smith’s “invisible hand”. This has been an incredible nuisance challenge for Sony, but I think if Apple is any proof, a strong [...]
