I meant to blog these on Monday or Tuesday but between the Project Lotus and Lane Crawford events, it got pushed back!

Very nice design, as you would expect from the W of course.

My super awesome Zigtech shoes

Because we got these for free (for placing at Flutag), I can't say anything negative about them. ...but I don't think these match my color scheme... :-Pupdate:  they look better if you're wearing blue jeans...  better.Read more

Tokyo - Capsule Hotel - I've finally done it!

The first time I came to Japan was 7 years ago.  In that time I have stayed in many many hotels and guest houses all across the country from the top of Hokkaido to the tip of Kyushu. 

But never in that time have I taken the opportunity to stay in an infamous 'Capsule Hotel'.  These are the hotels where all you get is a private bunk to call your own. usually people just stay there if they're downtown and stay out too late and just need a place to crash for the night.

The Flaming Lips Hong Kong Concert Pics and Video

Went to the Flaming Lips concert last night.  We were media sponsors and helped to promote the show a bit. I didn't know what to expect other than what I had seen on youtube before hand.  I tried to catch up on some of their songs too, so I wouldn't be completely unprepared. 

It turns this is more of a full featured entertainment experience than your regu...Read more

Belated Tokyo pics 3 - Collagen Nabe

Of course I can't go to Tokyo without seeing Mio at least once.  Since she was about to fly off to Singapore and miss our AnD get together (wait for that blog...),  she invited Chung and I to dinner the night before. Chung was also in town for TIFF.

This is Chung and Otomo-chan at the TIFF opening reception before dinner.  She was working hard all week!
