One of the things that I have been working on lately is the PlatinumGames Facebook page. It opened to the public on Thursday evening JST, and the response has been great.

The past few weeks have been anything but normal, so it is time for an anything but normal post. Here is a chronicle of my past few weeks: I’ve had an iPod Touch for a while now, and I have to say that after owning a 1G Nano and a 4G iPod, the touch is [...]

Today was my last day at Capcom. For the past 2 years and 2 months, I have worked with incredibly creative people on incredibly fun games, been a part of the best selling game of 2007-to-date here in Japan, and fulfilled lifelong dreams. But there is more work to be done. Just like my friend [...]

So this weekend I thought I would take care of my bargain shopping. For those not in the know, the beginning of July is usually when Japanese stores launch into their summer clearance sales, despite the fact we still have 3 solid months of the heat here in Osaka.It began with meeting Max for lunch [...]

Back from dinner celebrating a new hire and I’m in a good mood so I figured I should post about what I have been working on lately. I also updated the Gameography. Since I went through a gap of being lazy for a while, here is the brief summary. Click the covers to buy the [...]

The iPhone has well exceeded the hype. Considering what it enables with its browser and the possibility for open development, it very well could change the world. A device with this ease of use and mobility, coupled with a social networking platform could create true mobile social networking. Imagine if google maps could display other [...]
