Its a lovely evening so thought we would go walkies around the Lalaport area at Toyosu - a nice place for shopping, food and an evening stroll. While we're out n about, I thought we'd have the usual chit chat. Tonight I'd like to talk about 'haters'...

Its that time again - I'm looking for a full time developer to work with us at Mirai Inc in Tokyo to start in December 2009 or Jan 2010. Hope you don't mind me recycling this post (from Mon 2009/04/20 05:03 JST) as all the qualifications are the same...

Organizing Tokyo CGM Night with Andrew Shuttleworth has been a great learning experience. We've had 5 episodes so far and they seem to get better each time. Last nights CGM Night was the best ever!

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
