new moon passed last night and mercury ended retrograting earlier this morning so I think it is good timing to announce or to change appearances today.

BTW

have you invited Sakamoto-san (Ryuichi) to your blog? I think that he would be one very interested in and hooked to blog : )

Congratulations to you, Matsumoto-san and Barak-san!

Hopefully our 'multimedia conversations' will commence and bring the world to a new level of publishing and communications!

Gam - bat - ai - kurd - usai!

Thanks Marc. I think this move will help us focus our company much more.

I like your multimedia conversation idea. See my comments about this...
