  • Just when I thought I could start blogging again, I had 2 more crazy weeks at work. But soon we're off to Newport, then Tokyo! #

  • So, please suggest an adjective for "travel" to replace the "political" section of my blog (it'll be alongside "personal" and "technical") #
  • There's only one big festival happening near Tokyo while we're there, but it looks like a good one http://bit.ly/asBYjN (scroll down) #
