Great news for folks who are fed up of boring humans cooking their food - robo chefs. Robo chefs cooking food today, evolving to terminators cooking your human meat tomorrow ^^; LOL at the sushi arms and that tray robot! @.@ http://www.youtube.com/wa...

Just got back from Odaiba to see the 1/1 scale RX78 Gundam. WOW. Seen pics of it by day and wanted to see it by night.

Has been a while since the last Photo Walk. Todays walk includes photos from Ebisu, Nishikoyama, Musashikoyama and Gakugei Daigaku. First photo taken at a newly built park nearby. The Lumix LX3 is incredibly good at taking pics at low light. This sh...

Ever wished that there was an encyclopedia in English with all things Otaku so that you can impress your GF or BF on your first date with your Otaku knowledge? Well you need to wish no more - Kodansha International brings us the Otaku Encyclopedia!

Really nice Timelapse video of Hiroshima. Looks like it was taken on the Canon EOS5D. Have been to Hiroshima a few times. Very nice place to visit in the Summer - especially Miyajima - the small island with deers walking about just as you would find...

Didn't leave it as late as last time but still two weeks behind for this episode of A Week in Tokyo. About 80 photos to go through so this article will probably balk as usual with Google Reader and Firefox - click through to the article or read this...

Gorgeous Timelapse x Tiltshift video. Watch below or at YouTube for HD version. Video by continuous shatter and music by vivid blaze who I have not heard of but am now seeking their cool tunes. Original text from Jotham below.miniature city views o...

Apart from the annoying git who sat next to me in the cinema, last Friday went according to keikaku. We was to finish up work early, drop off at the Wieden and Kennedy offices, go to Roppongi Hills to have some din dins and finish up with some Angels...

Will still be continuing the A Week in Tokyo series but will post these A Day in Tokyo articles when I take a load of pics in a single day. For the first photo we shoot ahead of time to the evening at just before 7pm-ish at Lalaport Toyosu. This is...

Thank you all for the kind words regarding the Nikon CM! Am pleased with the great work by the Weiden and Kennedy team and producer Timothy Saccenti. Today we look at the behind-the-scenes of the shoot but before we do, thought we'd take a look at...

Originally seen on Japan Probe but forgot to write about it - thank the good lord for the one-click-hijack(tm) feature ^^; For those who take too long getting ready to get out the door. I usually give myself plenty of time to get out the door but g...

My work has somehow got me involved with the NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai) which is Japan's national broadcasting organization. Went along today for a meeting with others involved in a project we're working on and took some pics when nobody was looki...

Fellow Brit Arekusu shows us his booty from his latest trip in the land of the rising sun. Thought it would be interesting to discuss our first loot and what was in it. During my first visit to Tokyo, I headed to Akihabara and spent my hard earned d...

Late again with this weeks A Week in Tokyo so this one covers the past few weeks. <a name="pechakucha"></a> First up is my talk at Pecha Kucha Night where I talked over 20 slides (each slide 20 seconds) about the Tokyo Stormtrooper to a room of abo...

Was going to do the A Week in Tokyo today but wanted to get this out first. Going to hire another head soon and would rather keep working from our first floor a bit more until the 5th staff member comes on board - meaning that a new office layout is...

Starting off this week with a few more peeks at the CM filming that went on yesterday morning. While the cameras and lighting are being set up, I take a few pics of Aoi-chan who we took along with us.

Another great and productive week. Business at Mirai Inc has been going swimmingly well and looks like we will be hiring sooner rather than later to manage the amount of clients projected for this year. First photo is of Kenji Hall from Business Wee...

Yaru ki [やる気] (click to listen) means "Determination" or "Motivation." For example, "Yaru ki arimasu ka?" would mean "Do you have the motivation/determination to do something?" The following is one of my fave commercials at the moment by School...

Actually much later than 7pm - about 20 mins ago on the way home from an awesome networking event at Appliya - the folks who have been making a ton of Evangelion iPhone apps. Met a ton of folks including top folks from Apple and Broccoli too - they o...

Been meaning to post this for a while now - a summary of my working career at Amazon as Website manager and Microsoft as CGM Product Manager. This article is a follow on (with a bit o overlap) of the Tokyo 1999 - 2001 article. The first photo is ta...

Another late installment of A Week in Tokyo - got a load to go through to make up for it. The usual drill - article contains photos more than a week old. First up is din dins with the folks from Good Smile Company, Dwango and Billy Herrington.

While Tokyo does have more greenery than other areas in Japan, it still could do with even more green - would be awesome if Tokyo looked like this. Probably not practical but would be very nice to walk on barefooted on a warm spring day. More pics at...

Video is up at NicoNico of this mornings broadcast - you can switch off the comments by clicking on the chick in the corner of the player. I think I need to take a translators course ^^; Did the best I could considering the late notice. Was a relaxe...
