Although my family were due to arrive the following day, on the morning of March the 20th, which was a holiday here in Japan, and I had the choice of completing the Podcast I had half prepared, or going to the Photo Imaging Expo 2008 at the Tokyo Big Sight, and then...
After a few weeks’ hiatus it’s good to be back in front of the mic. We’ve had my brother and sister-in-law staying with us for the last two weeks, and really just been so busy having fund that I found it difficult to even find time to catch up in the forums for a...
