We've moved!! Keep on following The Ad Collector @ http://addshots.wordpress.com

After a while without posting due to the many problems caused by not being able to access blogspot as a result of living in China and suffering the Great Firewall, I've decided to move to a hosting service that is actually "working" here at the PRC.

Please bear with me for the recent lack of action and check the new blog: http://addshots.wordpress.com
