The Space Invaders alarm clock actually forces you to play video games the second you wake up. Well, not really. But whatever time you set the alarm to, that's when the little aliens start marching from side to side on the screen to the Space Invaders theme song. To turn it off, just bonk your blue-and-white alien on the head.

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!
