Uniqlo marcom in Japan is simple, clear, and stands out.
On the subway today. Even the woman's bag is Uniqlo. I like the big type, loads of empty space, and use of photography. Red on white with lots of negative space stands out in a sea of clutter. Sent from my iPhone
Tony Curtis dead at 85
One of my favorite actors from the good old days. Below is a scene with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in Some Like it Hot.
Below is a scene from The Great Race. A really fun movie. I remember watching this in the theatre with my mom when I was a little kid. Tony is the one who stays clean until near the end.

Nancy Duarte's Resonate: The world's best book on presentations *ever!* Seriously!
My hard copy arrived today (I saw the softcopy a long time ago). There is just something visceral and engaging though about holding it in your hands. I love it! This book is deep and wide. So my daughter and I sat down and went through every page. She loved it too!
This truly is the most amazing book on presentations — or communications in general — that I have ever seen. There are simply no longer any excuses for presentations that suck — you hear that Larry Ellison? I'm talking to you!
Get it on Amazon now."It's an entire yoga session in one strum." Jake Shimabukuro on therapeutic properties of ukulele
Dave interviews Jake after his TEDxTokyo performance. Great quote at the end.
Oh, and in case you missed this video of his performance at TEDxTokyo in May
The art of slowing down: Japanese salarymen jog in synchronized slow motion
Awesomely weird. Japan is the coolest place to live :-)
"You are the victim of men who think that they are right."
"...just as one day you and Captain Yonoi believed absolutely that you were right. And the truth is, of course, that nobody is right."
The final scene from a great movie Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. Ryuichi Sakamoto did the music (and played the part of Captain Yonoi). His song comes in at the end. A haunting version.
戦場のメリークリスマス by Ryuichi Sakamoto is perhaps my favorite piece of music ever
Certainly one of the most evocative pieces of music ever. I am a huge 坂本龍一 fan!
Trio version.
How to make a Bitter Chestnut Latte in Japan
One of the many "how to" video presentations by my buddy Doug Schafer at one of his cafes in Osaka. In Japanese with English subtitles.
