  • Codex 24

    I needed to take a little break from all the Inspire Japan preparations, and so decided to suddenly record a new episode of the Codex (24) — here it is.

  • Global PechaKucha Day – Inspire Japan

    If you’ve been to the front page of this site sometime this week (I have to assume that many of you reading this in your feed reader), then more than likely you’ve noticed the giant banner I have there now. It’s for the big Global PechaKucha Day – Inspire Japan event I’ve been working on…

The image on…

  • Codex 22
