fluokids, kinda interesting DJ crew in france, seems to be made up of some funloving kids. However, what I find the most interesting, is their awesome logo: Made by Arthur Röing, a swedish teenager. He says: Submission for graphic design...

Mata ne
Almost ready to go. My flight is at 5pm JST today. Thank you to all my new and old friends here. I feel as if I have two homes now, truly. Arrigato, and see you soon! And to the folks...
Sartorialist
Found The Sartorialist a few months back (via Mike I think?) and am really *really* enjoying his candid snaps of pure style. As the two above are an example of. Let your environment inspire you. Jump into the flow....
What is code?
A picture is worth a thousand words... The premise of the linked article is to show how one can create a web browser in "one line of code" using a bunch of stuff that more or less comes with Mac...
Indymedia is a spam host
I've been receiving tons of spam blog comments across the networks I maintain all pointing to spam comments hosted on various Indymedia websites. I have tried to contact them directly but I recently heard that their technical resources are ......
autoplay off
heh. sorry about that. Karl mentioned it to me the other day and I thought I fixed it. Sometimes forget that every parameter in an object embedded is duplicated (and I turned off autoplay on only one of them). what...
iCal insecure
The above was presented to me as I tried entering the URL of an iCal calendar syndicated from a secure webserver, i.e. https:// It seems to me that calendars (hello? personal?) are one thing that is a no-brainer shoe-in...
Music is my...
Grab this nice long mix of last year's great tracks. This is the stuff I have been listening to mostly. This is the kind of stuff that gets me moving in tiny sticky basement nightclubs and swanky undergrounds in Tokyo...
No way
Tomorrow at 3pm I am meeting someone who was instrumental in introducing the Shibuya Kei style of music to North America in the 1990's. If it hadn't been for this, I would never have heard of Pizzicato 5 and my...
Jeans
I packed only two pairs of black cords for this trip (because that's all I had been wearing all fall.) Almost two months ago I acquired a pair of cheap tapered camo cargo pants. Before all this I had worn...
L'habit ne fait pas le moine
It's not the clothes, it's how you wear them. Not [WHAT]: [HOW][WHO][WHEN][WHERE] Style is: adapting to the context. Fashion is: making that adaptation. As every river has a source and ends in an estuary, every quality individual manifestation of style...
Le Talkie-Walkie
de Serge Gainsbourg J’avais en ma possession un talkie-walkie Made in Japan Il ne m’en reste à présent qu’un grain de folie Un point c’est tout J’avais donné le même appareil à celle que j’aimais On s’appelait pour un...
Winding down, winding up
A week and a half left. I am feeling the way I always do at this point: Can't wait to get home... but don't want to ever leave. This visit was both devastating on some levels and elevating on others....
Homesick
Me too, oh man, me too. (Today was such a total clusterfuck, I'm crying listing to this.)...
Esthetic urban decay by design
The view above is common in Tokyo: rough, old and weathered giant stone block walls. Images of ninja scrambling along them... er I digress. Walking back to Shibuya from Harajuku a few weeks back, I noticed this wall: Obviously,...
So out of shape
(sorry about posting these... having fun ;) And the course I ran, mapped on GMap Pedometer. (Funny how mapping a jog like that brings the enormity of Tokyo down to a personal, human scale. If my lungs held out,...
Warming warning
Hiromy posted this photo comparing the same spot in Niigata one year apart almost to the day. Last year was unusually much snow; this year, unusually little. Key word here is "unusual"....
Surreal
New friend Verena is in Beijing this week and she posted this picture she took while driving my Tiananmen Square. I find the image of Mao mesmerizing. Not becase it's Mao (it means nothing to me for I have...
Lookit meeee!
Overall, I prefer Jaiku to Twitter. Where else can YOU track all MY web output? (well what I choose to include anyways) What's the sound of one context collapsing? ;)...
no openID
Mike's posted an excellent piece on why he thinks openID is a bad idea. The problem with OpenID is that it violates one of the longest-runnings stories we tell ourselves about the Internet, from the famous New Yorker cartoon... I'd...
Bangla
If you ever need the Bangla keyboard mappings and some fonts for Mac OS X, Apple conveniently links to them. Be prepared though... It's like being there!!! ;) Oops, you'll need some fonts with that. Thank you come again. Why...
Alternate use
Not jogging, but a leisurely evening with friends visiting an exhibit and ChinaTown in Yokohama. (Train rides of course not account in distances.) Note: The iPod frequently "paused" the "workout"--sensing prolonged periods of immobility--hence it's shortness. The trip lasted...
Typical weekend dilemma for me...
I had planned to spend some time this weekend hacking out the "featured article" functionality for the GlobalVoices redesign. It's the last big piece that needs doing and we have a Thursday EST deadline to show off a final version...
Brainloop
Brainloop is an interactive performance platform that utilizes a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) system which allows a subject to operate devices merely by imagining specific motor commands. These mentally visualized commands may be seen as the rehearsal of a motor...
Running man?
Part of the premise of the movie "Running Man" is how the main character gets framed as a murdering police officer by manipulating video evidence. Now, Photoshopping images and AfterEffects-ing video is already possible but it's still a huge pain...
Toasters
A general statement: "When people buy a toaster, they know it's probably not going to blow up when they plug it in. But when they buy a consumer device like the Nike+iPod kit, they have no idea whether the device...
