This looks like an ordinary digital alarm clock, but it's made specifically to track time as experienced by our pets. By inputting your pet's size and age, it gives you both the real age and the estimated human age (we think that pets age 3-7x faster than we do), and even sings happy birthday on its every human-age birthday.

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!

Something my dad would enjoy, but would probably get my checked bags searched on the way back. Then again, they're always searched.
