As a follow-up to my earlier recommendation of kiri-gami, here's a link to The Guild of American Papercutters. Check the gallery, they have some really awesome designs.

You've all heard of Origami, right? Well, here's a different take on essentially the same concept -- you fold paper, then you cut it into amazing designs.

See what a piece of paper, a pair of scissors, and some imagination can do for you. This recommendation links to a Kindergarten in Japan that makes kiri-gami. Believe me, there are much better designs than what the kiddies make.

Colorful portraits.

Yes, dogs can talk. Some more clearly than others.

Freaking hilarious. This is a clip from the Israeli comedy show, Eretz Nehederet (A Wonderful Country).

Got a few million US$ to burn? Buy your own island and join the ranks of the rich and famous. Can't put a price on privacy.

These super limited edition glasses are made from broken skateboards! Carl Zeiss lenses to boot. Cost barely more than regular Ray Bans.

A satire of modern Japan's (dysfunctional) society, and increasingly uncertain future.

Download the manga. It isn't everyday that uber-consulting firm McKinsey&Company features manga on its newsletter.

It's like gaming central for the sober, the slightly inebriated, and the drunk. A Coin-Op Corner, Game Console Couches, and, who can forget, a full bar with a DJ driven dancefloor. If you have even the remotest interest in video games, get yourself and your friends over here. If you have absolutely no interest, get here anyway, you'll be one of us after a few Red Bull Mixers and Tequila Shots.

World class flamenco music. What makes Oki Jin special is his journey to become a Flamenco master. Knowing little Spanish (if at all), he ventured to Spain to find Vicente Amigo, his idol, whom he hoped would teach him how to play. Through Oki Jin's journeys he picked up many skills from guitaristas. And yes, he eventually met his idol.

Great trend of classical remixing of classic rock. Exemplifies the perfection in the musical foundation of these compositions.

Just in case you missed the news about the imminent Nintendo 3DS price drop, and the 20 free downloadable games for early adopters.

Just in case you want to play an Ocarina for real.

The first million-seller for the Nintendo 3DS. No matter how many incarnations the game has gone through, it never fails to impress.

彼らの迫力はすげぇ。最高のメタルバンド。

One of the few heavy metal bands in Japan worth a s***.
