Many thanks to @WhoIsAndi for the invite to #TheSession16. Great magic and great organisation.

YouView appoints Nick Thexton @nickthexton as CTO broadcastnow.co.uk/techfacils/you…

Hi @paulcdale many thanks, I think it actually will be fun too! I bet you can give me a lot of good insights.

@DavidMercer_SA @YouView many thanks, it's a great team and platform with a lot of potential. Can't wait to get going!

There is no connection with the last tweet, but pets are obviously important here!

It's been a while, but Tokyo endlessly fun. Indian food excellent at Nirvana in Roppongi. Pork Vindaloo a bit of a rarity, but great.

Just saw the Hockney 7 Yorkshire landscape videos at LACMA. Connection to our fresco demo is fascinating.

Having spent last week in Shanghai, arriving now in Tokyo after 20 year gap. The trains still run on time, and just as fascinating.

Ref last tweet, it is only a matter of time before the Rasperry Pi is the next purchase. Time of year thing I guess..

I just backed Elite: Dangerous on @Kickstarter kck.st/YN6rVC

The second Windows 8 upgrade was no problem. So my impressions are improving, Metro is a good interface and most desktop apps still work.

Windows 8 upgrade a 2 day journey. How a msg like 'Windows 8 Upgrade failed - click OK' works for av consumer I don't know. Finally OK.

At IBC: the old debate on television and how fast it changes. It's a well travelled path. Internet cannot kill TV, delivers more and more.

So the guys in this Olympics of Magic are truly outstanding - its heartening because so much you see is 'just OK'.

Oh yes in a class of his own. That kind of stuff = a lot of practice and imagination.

@Cartoonsbyjosh yes a rare thing indeed but worth a mention or two!

Waiting to see Yann Frisch, who leads in the parlor magic category. Everyone seems to rate him. Check YouTube for clips.

FISM is still going, longer than IBC (for the TV tech folk). Now reaching conclusion and everyone is here to see who wins.

FISM lecture attendance is very variable; so far David Stone takes the record for interest so far.

FISM continues, the weather is fine, the standards of performers very high. Good fun.
