I write
articles about culture, technology, and human rights for Wired, Popular Science, Fast Company, and the New York Times Magazine. I also produce radio segments for PRI's Studio360 and am a Correspondent for
Boing Boing, one of Time Magazine's five most essential blogs of 2010.
My latest project is an episodic documentary film called We Are All Radioactive..
In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

Those little girls were great. I expect to see them during the next Love Fest on their own DnB float. They're allready dressed up for it!

I love the little Johnny Depp box where you can see his expression as the girls do their bit. A couple times, he looks like he's just barely holding it together.
Also, I always wonder if celebrities ever see these shows again, or if they just head off to their own countries and forget about it.
