Time for another entry in the Louie-redesigns-a-logo series.

After Splatoon shopping at the Nintendo store, we walked over to Panda Express in the rain.

Kosuke and Tomomi just returned from their Philadelphia trip, so naturally Ayano and I went to Philly their first day back.

Went out for a spontaneous hanami in Sumida park.

You cannot possibly imagine the surprise on my face when a Happy Turn-themed train arrived on the platform.

The Clock app on iOS has barely changed since iPhone OS 1.0.

So grateful to have this place nearby.

Not every day you see the Mandalorian and Grogu shopping for the Mandalorian and Grogu stuff.

At Tokyo Vintage Fashion Week, there was a lot to look at.

So iconic that they had to bring it back.

It’s not a traditional part of taiko, but it was super cool to see Daikichi incorporate his hobby of juggling into his last taiko performance in elementary school.

At the Starbucks Reserve Roastery, there’s a really nice cold brew that’s whiskey barrel-aged, and it even has a sakura imprinted in the ice.

There’s been speculation for years now about how museums, theme parks, restaurants, and hotels will start charging more money to foreign tourists than Japanese nationals.

I don’t often draw kanji, but my friend Narumi—who loves horror movies and metal music—told me her stage name when doing music stuff at events is「鳴」(naru, scream) and I couldn’t get it out of my head to draw that kanji in a a style that matches that kind…

Just hanging out in Itabashi.

Hoagies primed and ready for cheez whiz sandwiches!

I’ve been wanting to go to this milk bar at Akihabara for a while, but it’s either closed or I’m on the other side of the platform to get it.

Last week, I read a story about how Waymo (self-driving taxi service) is partnering with Door Dash (food delivery service).

There may be no place I feel as comfy and cozy as Yoshikami when I got some corn soup and hayashi rice.

A little valentine’s chocolate with coffee.

Playing Nintendo games—even just using Nintendo Switch 2 software—makes me wish macOS was flooded with lots of interface sound effects.

When I woke up, I went downstairs and saw the faint shadow of snow falling through my frosted windows.

You may remember, I handmade Daikichi an old-school Disney ticket book for Christmas, for him to use on a school day of his choosing after he passed his junior high entrance exam.

I love going to Philly.

Got a new-to-me camera app called Mood, and I kinda love it.

European curry was today’s special menu item at Hamorebi.

Proper Italians would probably scoff at Japanese carbonara, but this Italian-American thinks it’s a damn delight.

Lately, I’ve been scolded for using (American) English names of Japanese video games.

D’oh.

Just a few blocks away from me is a great patty melt place, with the perfect dappled sunlight.

My friends have a little reward system for their kids: Jōmon points.

A small lost friend on the side of the road.

Consistently amazing, this joint.

I love a bibimbap.

From lunch today.

I spent the three-day weekend watching the Skywalker Saga.

First Philly of the year, and I ate too much.

Any Japanese politician could solve Japan’s plastic crisis and be a national hero if they championed outlawing all single-use plastic food packaging, forcing the entire country to switch to compostable food packaging.

Bumble, 7:54 AM Akseniya What are your green and red flags?

You know what’s a little crazy?

It’s kind of a shame that the poster logo for Willow gets way more attention than the title card logo, so I redrew it in Illustrator and styled it to match the poster, for a what-if style movie poster.

Spaghetti in the morning, spaghetti in the evening, spaghetti at supper time!

A digital frontier to reshape the human condition.

My friends’ boy, Daikichi, has been wanting to go with me to Disneyland for what seems like years now.

I’ve now spent enough time over the last few years that I feel confident saying that making SF Symbols from scratch is a much, much more difficult problem than it should be.

I love the NES, Game Boy, Super Nintendo, Genesis, and the original PlayStation, but I have an unwavering fondness for Nintendo 64.

I’m not just comfortable discussing political issues with friends, I want to talk about them with people close to me.

Unequivocally Jurassic Park, and quintessentially 90s, this custom paint job on the Ford Explorer tour vehicles is almost as iconic as the film itself.
