I spend way too much time on the road - and have the pictures to prove it (well, some of them). In case you have nothing else to do with your time, here is some of the recent evidence. Oh, and if you have pictures of an event that I have not posted, please send them to me. Thanks!

MAX Japan 2007
Tokyo, Japan
Thursday, November 1, 2007

After a few year hiatus, MAX was back in Japan in 2007, for another record breaking event. MAX was held at the Hotel Nikko, on the waterfront overlooking the Tokyo Bay. I presented several sessions, including a hands-on session presented with simultaneous translation (an interesting new experience for me).
