  • Favorite Media of 2011

    As I did last year — read it here — this is my list of favorite media for the year, which is basically me telling you what I obsessed over the most in 2011 (as far as I can remember, since it’s usually the case that some terrific things get forgotten by the end of…

  • Codex 41

    I said I was back with regular episodes of the Codex, and I meant it — Codex 41 is now available for your listening pleasure. And let me also remind you that for Christmas tunes, get the holiday episode I did last year (10).

  • Photos from PauseTalk Vol. 56

    As promised in the post about PauseTalk Vol. 56, there’s now a Facebook gallery of photos from the event, all taken as usual by Michael Holmes. Big thanks as always to Michael for attending and sharing these photos.

  • PauseTalk Vol. 56

    Let me start by thanking everyone who came out this past Monday for PauseTalk Vol. 56, the last one for the year. We were a larger group than in the past few months, and it was a really nice way to share some thoughts on the year that was, covering how various projects fared, and…

  • How I Got Back on the Codex Wagon

    As I posted on Monday, my Codex podcast is back because I’ve finally found a way to record it live, using music from Spotify and mixing in my talking bits, thanks to Nicecast. As I wrote in the show post on the Codex site, I’d pretty much given up on doing the show because I couldn’t find…

  • Codex 40

    Yes, it’s been ages since the last episode of my Codex episode, but lo and behold there’s a new episode up (40), and you’ll find it here. I explain in that post why I took a 3-month hiatus, and why I’m back.

  • PauseTalk Tonight

    Just a friendly reminder that the last PauseTalk (Vol. 56) of the year happens tonight (Monday, December 5) atCafe Pause, with the official session starting at 20:00. Should be a nice way to say goodbye to 2011, and start thinking about what 2012 will be all about. Also, please note that January will be a…

  • Dancing Tintin

    I’m currently in full Tintin mode, in anticipation of the upcoming animated film (it opens in Tokyo on December 1), and I’m currently in the process of re-reading the entire series. Tintin is a special series for me, having grown up reading the books — I can’t even begin to tell you how many times…

  • Mount Tanigawa in the Snow

    The last time I went to Mount Tanigawa, during the summer, I got the worst sunburn I’ve had since I was a kid, but this time it was all about the snow. Me and my wife went yesterday and were greeted by quite a bit of snow — no worries though, as that’s what we…

  • PechaKucha Night Vol. 87 and PauseTalk Vol. 56

    Just a reminder to everyone that the two event series that I’m involved in will have their final edition of the year over the coming week. First up, this Wednesday (November 30) is PechaKucha Night Vol. 87 at SuperDeluxe(doors open at 19:00, presentations start at 20:20), and it will indeed be the final PKN of…
