Actually, you’re absolutely not! Few years ago many knew me at @Tokyofan (seems like it belongs to “pete” now). After hours of self-deliberation I decided that I should change my handle to something that represents me more. I’m still Tokyofan and will always be one but it was just a part of my personality.

Calvin Klein, not so “retro” anymore!

Sami — Wed, 26 May 2010 17:01:16 +0000
