I write this at 4am New Years day as I prepare to depart to Japan later today. Its a habit of mine that prior to leaving to Japan, I dont sleep for a minimum of 28 hours straight. So I hope you’ll forgive me if I have any small errors typing on no sleep. Although I’ll be gone in Japan, I’m preparing some blog posts which will automatically distribute during the time I’m gone.

Of course what everyone will be most waiting for is a unique perspective on Tokyo Auto Salon 2009. That’s coming, along with other surprises…

I’ll be back on January 12th, until then I hope you enjoy the blog posts I’m about to write now (and share with you later).

By the way, the picture I just shared is one that I took a few years ago. Its taken in front of Mori Tower in Japan. Its an interesting mix of classic beauty, modern architecture and a really creepy sci-fi gigantic metal spider. Hopefully you like the pic as much as I do.
