I’ve been enjoying the blog posts by Ian Lesnet of Dangerous Prototypes as he visits Japan, including gotta-do-it stops at Tokyo Hackerspace and Akihabara Electric Town. He also attended Make: Tokyo Meeting 07, the Japanese equivalent of Maker Faire. Lots of cool stuff going on over there! (The project pictured is a DIY cotton candy maker!)
