My PLN (personal learning network)
is JR East, whose Yamanote Line takes me smoothly between Maruzen bookshop near Tokyo Station and Kinokuniya bookshop in Shinjuku, therefore keeping me in enough TEFL books to keep me learning something new forever- and all without needing to ruin my eyesight further by using a computer in my free time. I recommend it!

They stopped using steam locomotives on that line years ago, Alex, and you’ll need to negotiate a tech-based ticketing system before you even get through the gate.
Best you avoid it strictly on principle!

So what’s this blog actually for then, Alex?

Now there’s a philosophical question that might take me some time to answer some time…
Am I the only person who hates this piece of business speak then? Oh well, I stand alone again…

Good God, Darren – please do not drift over to my blog and ask that question…

Hmmm… Interesting q’ Alex – I must say the first few times I saw the words PLN being bandied about I had one of those gut reactions I have whenever I read any political correct acronyms – but dunno, got used to this one and I like the concept.
Let’s face, I consider you and Jason and a bunch of others via Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIn and our blogs to be a definitive part of my personal learning and professional development – despite our physical distance and that we’ve never met each other, through our blogs or tweets we’re able to share information amazingly quickly and not just info – it’s kind of like an online staffroom in a way – as I especially like it when I pop on over and you’ve written something totally random like this which cracks me up.
You’re that guy in the staff room.
So… I guess you could say we’re “networked” …
Random thoughts, dude, random thoughts.

OH yeah,
And Darren don’t ask me that question either.
Please.
