Yokohama Birthday Bash - Part I

Hey, happy B-Day Mike. You've got to be closing in on 30 by now huh?

I'm half way to 40, with a kid.. Oh man, I just made myself sad.

Mike! How's it been? Beautiful pictures as always. You should be doing this shit for a living. Get out of that office.

Site Redesign 2009

Hey Mike,
I really like the design. The font in the headers are a little big for my taste, but I see where you're going with it. I like how the site is more 'right side' oriented. Like the Nav and the add comment section..

Cold Tokyo Days

Just so you know Mike, the groundhog saw his shadow today, so you know what that means.. 18 more years of winter!

My next report is to tell you how Flag Day went!

The Hard Light Blowout and Nuno Napkin Extravaganza

I just threw up a little in my mouth. You've got to put a bigger warning on that video.

Shinjuku Birthday Panda ver. Blue Skies

Happy birthday man! Why don't you just marry couch girl and stay there forever?!

Of cicadas and summer

The vids are good. I can see why you think that only teenage girls make them ( they do ) but don't let that bother you.

As far as the cup goes, Dunkin Donuts has been doing the bring your own cup ( it looks like a 80oz swimming pool ) for a while, and you get a discount. The problem that I find with your predicament is the coupon. I can't bring myself to use them.. I always feel like people think I'm cheap / have no money, which is strangely the truth.

Happy New Year 2008

Hey, Happy New Year Mike! My one christmas wish is for Green Bay to meet New England in the SuperBowl and for New England to totally destroy them like I use to do on the Dreamcast to you..

To all the Rooms Ive loved before

Birthday Scarf Panda

I feel ya. Being a 32 year old bartender, sometimes I just want to slap the crap out of 21 year olds that want to show everyone how much they can drink. It's terrible sometimes.

The Great 2007 Tohoku Road Trip

This has nothing to do with your post, but I thought you'd like it considering you're into the whole 'sky worship' thing. It's the alphabet in negative space using buildings and the sky. http://www.slanted.de/node/1361

Are you getting fatter...?

I don't know man... From what I remember and the pictures that I see on the site now, you've lost weight I think. Of course, i haven't seen you for like 7 years or something..

Sky Monkah!

Hey Mike,
You should do a photo shoot of your stuff in the old apartment, then your stuff in the new place. Just to get a contrast. Like, my computer was here, but now it's here...

i don't know why I like stuff like that, but i do. I have a book that just the inside of people's apartments. I look at it like once a month. Is that wierd?

Mochi made with sweat (and other stuff)

You censored yourself?! I can't even begin to figure out how that woks! It's like I'm going to have to watch the movie PI on acid, in an attempt to confuse myself SO MUCH that I normalize in the aftermath.

And I thought Kakuchi-san was the last remaining ninja in all of Japan.

Let them eat cake (and die...)

Mike, If you give that fucking old man anything other than a punch in the neck, I'm losing all respect for you. ( it's a sad day when i no longer envy Panda's life )

How Apple iTunes 5.0 almost ruined my life...

I just want to offer up one thing. I don't think that programers are to blame for about 80% of what you said. It's marketing.
Programmer 1: Well, this is how the sites for each google region breaks down...
Marketing Guy 1: Can you make it so all anyone ever has to do is type google.com?
Programmer 1: Well.. ya.. I could.. but...
Marketing Guy 1: I think it would be a lot easier if they could just type google.com.
Boss 1: Can we get that programmed by the end of tomorrow?
Programmer 1: but...

Turning 26...

You know what I think you should be downing for a living, I know you got the art/design skills for it. Time to really start using them. As far as a place to live goes, I say go where the people are. I mean, it sounds like you are getting tired of Japan. America is a real shit hole right now. There is a huge religion/political/racism/poverty/everything war going on right now. Hell, some schools in the south are starting to teach intelligent design along side evolution in SCIENCE class. We are definitely going backwards over here. But if you can't resist the 3+ dollars for a gallon of gas, come back as fast as possible!

Monkah's latest Tokyo Trip

I just wanted to make a comment on the web design thing. I wish I could do the stuff that that guy does, and I get paid to do this sh!t! What's he's doing is beautiful, but it's just not practical. Maybe when all web browsers learn to play nice together, I'll put more time into css, until then, I'll just remain jealous.

Truth in Advertising

You got to do the coin flip. It's the ultimate decision maker. You assign heads and tails... flip the coin... and right before you are about to look at the coin, in your mind, you will hope if it will be heads or tails. Discard the coin without looking at it and go with what you hoped for.

Mike, the site looks great. I just wish I had your artistic ability.
