For a good part of this year I’ve been working with the guys here at Cactuslab on a new site called Letterboxd. It’s a site for film lovers; a place where you can keep a log of the films you watch, rate or review them, and keep up with what your friends have been watching. The site is in private beta at the moment, and I’ve got some invites to give out — so if that sounds like your cup of tea, fire me a quick message with your email address using the “Ask Me” link on my blog.
UPDATE: I’ve turned off my “Ask Me” form now, but if you are still interested you can submit your email address over at letterboxd.com.

Last November, my wife and I travelled with a few friends to Japan. Here’s the edited video highlights, including boating down the Hozu River, monkeying about at Shibuya Crossing and visiting the Tsukiji fish markets.
I was fortunate enough to be on this trip, and Matt has done an amazing job putting together the video. I travelled light and only took photos with my iPhone, so it’s fantastic to have something like this :)
