Akihabara is geek sex paradise

Akihabara is geek sex paradise 06/29/2004 08:11 PM
The Japanese town of Akihabara has become a legendary gadget shopping destination -- this story examines its odd brand of nerd sociology. Spotlight on girls named "Pudding," synthetic mating rituals, and 'no-pan' cafes where miniskirted hottie waitresses going commando serve you rice cakes with a smile.

The area has undergone something of a makeover recently with posters and figures of animated beautiful girls plastered all over the place and the emergence of cafes and restaurants devoted to "cosplay," featuring girls dressed as animated heroes, maids, etc. Even a public area, such as the floor space of JR Akihabara station, has got into the act, with a 3-meter-round poster of the face of a beautiful girl appearing in an animation video. Kiichiro Morikawa, a professor at the Kuwasawa Design Research Institute, said, "An increasing number of animation goods and game shops have opened their doors and changed the area into an 'otaku' (geek) Mecca." Psychologists say these "otaku" or geeks are regressive, have poor social ability, and have never fully matured as adults. "Therefore, they are not good at communicating with others, cannot date real human beings, and instead adore an imaginary character," said one.

A trip to LA's bootleg paradise: Santee

A trip to LA's bootleg paradise: Santee
Alley 06/05/2005 11:42 PM
Xeni Jardin: This morning I went to the LA garment district knockoff haven known as Santee Alley, with pals Jeff Koga and Sean Bonner. We found lots of neat-o bootleg crap, including these awesome framed pirat e gangsta artworks (bad unauthorized photocopy of a still from Scarface on one side, and little diorama of toy machine gun, fake money, and blinged out bullets on the other side). Other finds included scrol ling digital LED belt buckles, clothing stores promising plus size fashions for "Phat Women", toy laptops running pirated warez, and much more. The best we can't blog yet... stay tuned for a report on the best booty of pirate-town, slated to run in Wired News on Tuesday (with photos shot by Sean and Jeff).

On being in California...

On being in California... 03/14/2005 05:52 PM

I'm on the train between Los Angeles and San Diego listening to Orbital and overwhelmed by how alien and beautiful the industrial landscape outside my window is. I'm travelling backwards all the way which probably means something. There are lots full of identical vehicles. One lot full of blue tanker trucks. Another full of white articulated lorry fronts. Lined up and perfect. There are buildings with connected trailers and bays numbered one to eight-eight. Train tracks curl around them. Piles of rusting metal sit under repeating arches. Large open machines turn into buildings with little evidence of where one ends and the other begins. Everything's punctuated by massive pylons and palm trees. There's graffiti everywhere, and it doesn't look fake like it does all over London. It looks like it was born here.

It's probably my clumsy sleep patterns that make everything here seem hallucinogenically orchestrated. It all seems to be begging for a soundtrack. The whole city feels like Koyaanisqatsi from the train.

My seat on the train has a power socket by it, which I find strange but useful. The man in the onboard café car apologised for having to stow everything away and made a joke about bean counters. I've met a man from two television series and found that a friend's friend lives off internet poker. Words in roads and signs: peerless, thermo, blister, motor, rivera, pioneer, mason, cord. Everything's either made of wood, metal, concrete or meat. Colours come in stripes - pink/brown, white, grey, white, pink-brown, green, yellow, dust.

One other thing I've noticed here is how strange the quality of light is. It's about as grey and overcast here as it ever is in London, but there's still something different about it. More apocalyptic. Possibly it's because everything is designed to be seen in the bright sunshine - the primal colours of signs and adverts look like they're clashing with the world. And the buildings - designed to contrast with the blues and whites of the normal sky - blend into it now. It's like the natural order of the world is upside down. The smog is interesting too - American television often looks blurrier than Englih television. I think traditionally the resolution wasn't as good. Still there's something weirdly true about thinking of this place as lacking resolution. I think the smog in the air makes everything look less defined. A clear bright day in London in the spring makes everything seem so real. Here it makes it feel cartoonishly beautiful. Fascinating that light quality could have such an effect. I still remember the peculiar emotional charge that everything had in Helsinki in spring a few years back - the richness of the yellows and oranges - the sense that this light had something added to it that was more fundamental than the shallow shimmers we suffered with in England.

I'm meeting up with Biddulph and Hammond in Oceanside in a couple of hours. More later...
