I saw Mimi when I was in Los Angeles two weeks ago. Most of my correspondence with her concerns mobile technology and Japanese intercultural community. This trip was a nice chance to visit with her and her family at home.

Here Mimi makes a bento lunchbox, which she commemorated on her Bento moblog - a record of the Japanese-style Chanpon-inflected lunchboxes Mimi makes for her kids. This lunch is commemorated here.

Mimi reads with her son and daughter before bedtime.
