For the past several issues of Make Magazine, I've been profiling some talented Japanese makers whom I met on a recent trip to Japan. The current issue, Make Volume 19, features an interview I did with Takayuki Ohira, the inventor of the ever-so-popular Homestar and Megastar planetariums. He's really quite amazing. Please take a read, and if you like it, you should buy or subscribe to Make because it's full of fun, creative stories like Ohira's.

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!
