I write
articles about culture, technology, and human rights for Wired, Popular Science, Fast Company, and the New York Times Magazine. I also produce radio segments for PRI's Studio360 and am a Correspondent for
Boing Boing, one of Time Magazine's five most essential blogs of 2010.
In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

Ruby is adorable, I hope no long term effects become evident!
That Animal Poison Control line is very interesting, I had no idea it existed;
50$ is nothing in exchange for a chance to save the life of a loved one. :3
Hope everything is better soon! She's a real cutie in that photo. :D

Poor Ruby. I used to have the sticker for the animal poison control on my corkboard. I'm a paranoid girl when it comes to my cat. I hope she calms down, and doesn't end up with pancreatitis.
