Guess what? Starting today, I'm going to be guest blogging on Boing Boing. As you all know, Boing Boing is the ultimate directory of wonderful things, so I'm honored to contribute to it and give many thanks to Mark, Cory, David, and Xeni for letting me infiltrate their lovely web space with my whatever-I-end-up-writing. I'll be doing this for the next two weeks, so check in once in a while to see how I'm doing. And feel free to send tips—I can always use some good ideas, and this time they don't necessarily have to have anything to do with Japan. Thanks!

About
Lisa Katayama's personal blog.
My Bio
- 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!

okay I saw your site briefly and then put it in the bookmarks and , well, sort of lost touch but more you rocks! I have just returned from my first trip to Japan and feel brokenhearted to leave the kindness the quirky the totally different place, and Tokyomango is like therapy for someone who feels like gaijin everywhere now because I am turning Japanese(though I am ethnically a Dutch/Scottish Canadian Pakistani born !)
