I certainly haven't been very prompt with the construction updates ... We don't have the WiFi up and running in the new place yet (NTT is having trouble figuring out the best route to get the cabling into the building), so we're offline for most of... (Read More)

Construction update ... and a small milestone!

September 12th - via: kickstarter.com
Over on the Mokuhankan Conversations blog, I have just made an update on the construction progress - at least the parts visible so far. The demolition waste is all cleared, and we've moved along steadily with the re-wiring and the framing.  Somewhat... (Read More)

Stretched goal #4 - Automatic souvenir photos ...

September 5th - via: kickstarter.com
Actually, it's kind of cheating to call this one a 'stretched' goal, because we've been planning it right from the beginning. But I'll go ahead and do that because we'll now clearly be able to purchase the hardware we require to pull it off. Here's... (Read More)

Our lease came into effect on September 1st, and our crew for the initial stages of construction (de-construction, actually) assembled at the shop and got to work immediately. There will be three of us working on this - myself, my son-in-law Ioan,... (Read More)

I'm writing this update from a little coffee shop near our new facility. I just came out of a nearby 'Capsule Hotel' and will be meeting this morning with people from NTT, the tatami shop, and the electricity company. I've been chatting with the... (Read More)

Stretched goal #2 - Stunningly fast open WiFi for our customers

August 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
We of course have always been intending to have internet access in the new shop. Our POS system will be online (for credit card processing), and we intend to be streaming a webcam now and again. So not having internet was never an option. The... (Read More)

About 'stretching' ...

August 21st - via: kickstarter.com
Now that we have well and truly cleared our original goal for this campaign, I'm getting requests and questions from backers about my plans for 'stretch goals'. I have somewhat mixed feelings about this topic, and should perhaps explain why. In the... (Read More)

The first morning ...

August 18th - via: kickstarter.com
Well, Look. At. This.  After opening it up last night, I had a couple of short Skype chats with Jed and one of the long-time collector/supporters in the US, and while talking with them I could see the numbers in the background start to climb. But I... (Read More)
