Roland DG is a Japanese company. While the name doesn't sound like it, it actually is. Our counterparts in Japan come over to Roland DGA's territory for shows and meetings with us fairly often, but a once or twice a year I head over to Hamamatsu Japan for meetings and to get the latest on new products in our pipeline.

Había bastantes artículos en blanco, incluyendo camisetas, gorros, bolsas, chaquetas, suéteres y vestimenta deportiva; pero también había un pabellón lleno de pantuflas, y uno lleno de ropa para perros.

I enjoy going to the movies, sitting in a large, dark theater, and being carried away by the music, sound effects and imagery. It's even more fun when you know a little about how the movie was made and the people involved.

Esta es la época del año en la que todos parecen tener una lista de algo: mejores libros, mejores películas, e incluso los perros mejor vestidos de los famosos... Bueno, ¡usted ya se hizo la idea! Muchas de estas listas parecen bastante arbitrarias, pero me hicieron reflexionar sobre el año pasado y darme cuenta de que estuvimos bastante ocupados.

That's something you'll never really hear me say. Season's Greetings. Yuck. It's right up there with yellow smiley faces and "Have a nice day."
