I had a strong first week at work, with lots of hearty discussions and a string of lunches and dinners with friends and peers. I was introduced to about a dozen people whom I’m sure I’ll meet again sometime. On Saturday I attended a talk event about the popularization of philosophy as a current business trend, which added a few books to my wish list. Afterward, I visited a colleague’s home to see the kids, had dinner with another, and ran into two people I knew on the street. Feeling right at home in Tokyo!

[Projects] Design Research Tokyo:

• I had the chance to participate in a DRT book club event for once, instead of just helping to plan it from afar! Having the space to geek out about stuff is such an adrenaline boost.
• Worked out rough plans for February and March events.
