Speaking Relatively News

New pages!

I’ve added two new sections to the Speaking Relatively website!  The Gadget Locker focuses on technology and news that I think is interesting.  Only in Japan…  (aka “Things that make you go, huh? in Japan) will act as my public soap box.

These pages can be accessed by clicking on the links on the top of this page.  They may contain posts that are not visible directly on this home page, so visit them often!  And as always, let me know what you think in the comments section.  Enjoy!
