I got a lot of incoming hits this weekend from Japan, from some kind of explanation of the Printable CEO. It’s even got diagrams explaining the various areas of the forms, and how-to modify them in Illustrator CS2. Translator-raconteur Matt Alt told me it was a part of a productivity series. I grew up inspired by all the cool stuff that comes out of Japan—I’m thinking mecha design in particular—and it’s interesting how seeing something I’ve worked on reported in Japanese text gives me a little surge of joy; It feels a bit like I’m a kid getting to throw the opening ball at a baseball game, if that makes any sense.
