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.

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.

kentique.com is now harder, better, faster, stronger as promised. The interface is now revamped to accommodate a truly bilingual environment, while the simplicity of the original is sustained.
The Recession and the Creator

This is a scene from “Beat” Takeshi’s ultimate B-class gag flick “Getting Any?”
The protagonist gets mistaken for a Yakuza, and is forced to assassin the enemy boss. He finds a salaryman about to commit suicide, and asks him to deliver a cake with a hidden bomb for the enemy boss. Not knowing the cake has a bomb, the salaryman pretends to deliver the cake and brings it back to his house. In his house awaits his poor family, who gets excited and starts dancing around the cake. And then the bomb goes off.
