    PauseTalk Vol. 95

    PauseTalk Vol. 95 was held on Thursday, March 20 at Bananafish Books, and it ended up being a bit of a strange one – attendance was low, with only five of us joining the session (and we were only four for a good chunk of it). After the fact it seems that a few regulars…

    Site Update (January 2025)

    I’ve been pretty lazy when it comes to this website in recent years, barely bothering with doing much more than using one of the basic WordPress templates (currently a modified version of “Twenty Twenty-Four”), and just sharing the occasional post, mostly about my movie watching. Last summer I decided to start sharing more news on…

  • A Summer of PKN & PT

    It’s been a while since my last update, I know, but things keep on keeping. On the PechaKucha Night side of things, since April we held events both in May (Vol. 36, themed on “gaming”) and July (Vol. 37) at our usual venue of Studio 9. The July event marked the start of a “triple…

  • PauseTalk Next Week

    One of the interesting things that has happened since my return to Asia is the return of PauseTalk. As I wrote in detail in this post, when I left Tokyo back in 2015 I also decided to put an end to my PauseTalk series (with Vol. 85). I wasn’t really interested in handing it over…
