Howdy punks.

So, it’s been about three weeks since my last update here – shocking how cavalier I am towards my blogging responsibilities.

Mind you, in that time I have posted 3 Audioboos, done a fair bit of livestreaming for myself and now for Metropolis Magazine, taken a tonne of photos with Danny Choo on Coming of Age Day & around Shibuya (now viewed almost 300,000 times), and have sent 240 tweets.

I’m also extremely busy in my new job at the moment, as we’re just launching our new Audio walking tour of Akihabara – I’ll be blogging about that soon.

Marathon training is going ok, although I’m behind. Today we ran the furthest we’ve ever run – 29km – and did so in pretty good time. Map and stats.

*Twinkle*s doing great – recovered from when she was taken to hospital with stomach pain, as mentioned in tweets above.

Bulbs are poking up out of the soil.

Anyway, here’s a selection of those tweets in reverse chronological order, starting with those sent today (basically all tweets since Jan 1st excluding @ replies). Gives a good overview of what else I’ve been up to. Sorry the links aren’t linked.

Snapshots like this make a good record for me though when I come to write the book and shoot the film.
