This morning I returned from summer vacation in Osaka and Kyoto, Japan. I had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing time in both cities. Universal Studios proved to be the Osaka highlight while the massed, red, torii gates of Fushimi-Inari were for Kyoto.
A heartfelt ‘thank-you’ to Brian Miller for guest blogging while I was away. His photography based posts brought in a new theme to the blog that I wouldn’t have touched upon in the depth he did. My favorite post however, has to be him detailing the ‘Jeju Bible‘ that yes, unfortunately for us all, doesn’t seem to be in print anywhere/anymore.
While on vacation I was able to finish Sara Lacy’s new book on the rise of web 2.0. It’s a great read and provides the background stories on all of the sites we use (take for granted) today: Facebook, Flickr, Slide, Digg and LinkedIn.
And finally:
This afternoon I stopped by at the Jeju-Si office to collect the August issue of Jeju Life. We’ll be distributing over the weekend.
It’s our best issue yet.
