  2. New post http://bit.ly/1xWvtE Google Japan addresses privacy concerns with cute.
  3. Oh yeah finally updated the blog: http://bit.ly/vN5p9 Swarovski + kittens, high fashion + cute.
  4. Dorohedoro is finally up on Sigikki. Go read it! http://sigikki.com/series/d...
  5. Losing my job at the end of the month. Anyone looking for a Boston-based print designer and/or design writer?
  6. #mangamonday Oishinbo: Food competition/nerdy manga. Adorable retro style and awesome food illustrations. A very charming story!
  7. @ClarissaG @DarylSurat Unsolicited graphic design: http://i41.tinypic.com/123q... AWO warning labels. You save me from boredom at work.
  8. @erinf Picked up Oishinbo: Ramen and Gyoza, thanks to your unusual manga genres panel at Anime Boston. I love it!
  9. @ClarissaG Great show. What are you going to inflict on the boys for the next show?
  10. Oh yeah, I'm 24 today.
  11. Doing a post on typography in anime. Includes Zetsubou-sensei, Eden of the East, Evangelion, Kaiji. Any others?
  12. @tjandamal @SHINGGG Don't think Elmo counts- still a kids' character. Dolls in scary movies are still freaky. Thinking more innocuous cute.
  13. Have any examples of the "cute things are bad/evil" trope, e.g. tribbles and gremlins? Wonder why we're so distrustful of cute things.
  14. RT @alexleavitt Panels from Anime Boston 2009 - Audio uploaded from Akiba Empire panel about otaku: http://tinyurl.com/qq4cvh
  15. Idea for next year's Anime Boston panel: Cute, "unusual" Japanese mascots, e.g. Tama the Station Master Cat, Domo-kun.
  16. Photos of "Kawaii Culture: Cuteness in Japan" at Anime Boston: http://bit.ly/mCJI
  17. Cuteness can improve hand-eye coordination: http://bit.ly/13Yv4v
  18. From Anime Boston 2009. Kawaii Culture panel = win. Skeezy guy asking me about lolicon at said panel = FAIL. Pictures forthcoming.
  19. @trecomics Crossing my fingers for Dorohedoro, Freesia and pretty much everything by Natsume Ono.
  20. @trecomics GASP Does this mean possible licensing of Dorohedoro and just about every other manga I love at the moment? BEST NEWS
