Apologies to readers for post-lite (easy to read, less filling!) this week. It has been a bit mad and my usual posting times --early morning, lunches, evenings-- have been completely jammed by work and other obligations. For instance, this evening I am writing a press release. Friday evening will probably be spent writing my monthly contributions for That's Beijing (or, rather, editing them from posts you have already read), and then I'll be away for much of the weekend. I have several things I want to write, both for Imagethief and CNET, but simply no time to bang them out. Stick with me. I'll get to them.
