So, I guess I derailed my very first Prime Minister Lesson series by merely pointing out the guy next to him. This time, we will take a closer look at what this series is meant for, the prime minister himself.

The Intuitive Prime Minister Lesson 01
by kentique, 01.27 2010
Although it didn’t last so long, I really liked the former Japanese prime minister Aso. His expressions were so easy to read, and made the cold, opaque bureaucracy seem to fun and straightforward in a strangely heartwarming way.
What Space Sounds Like

I’ve come across a recording of radiowaves from Jupiter, which actually sounds like the ambient background to Kubrick’s Space Oddysey 2001. Its uber-creepy.
Interface of Web Comics

Strip Comics doesn’t really have an interface problem, its infact a really great interface. But the one potential problem has been overcome by the use of the internet in strip comics.
Studio Omochi

My buddy Tomo started his homepage, so I’m adding a link here. I met him when he came to SCI-Arc as an exchange student. Since then, he has studied woodcraft at Helskinki, and has built quite a few things over the past. Please check out his website and his works!
Uniqlo-style Payment

I like the branding of instant noodles by Japan Air Lines. Its named as a pun, “Udon de Sky”, which sounds like “is it a udon?” in japanese. My master taught me that you can get them for free if you tell them you are hungry any time during the flight.
Tool v.s. Gadget
by kentique, 01.07 2010
Many people use the words gadget and tool interchangeably. And this pisses me off, as a big tool nerd. This has a lot to do with design, as tool design and gadget design is different and should be pretty easy to grasp. Remember, every time you use either words incorrectly, god makes a tool that cooks kittens for the nazis…

I met an old friend of mine in Yokohama over the holidays. We haven’t seen each other in years, and the first thing he told me was that I looked much older. Now, if I had long legs, getting older wouldn’t sound as bad, but a older short Asian man is just that… a old, short Asian man. Nothing cool about that. I don’t think anybody will talk to me by the time I start balding.
