"I just posted a blog interview with Sebastien, the guy who is responsible of the French translation of Xiha and the French moderation! See here: blog.transfluent.com/en/2012/0...-story-of-sebastien-and-utopos"
My name is Jani. I'm a 37 year old man living in Las Vegas, United States. I speak English, Chinese (Mandarin Simplified), Finnish and Swedish.
This blog is a letter for my son Fei to read when he grows up, to know what was going on when he was a baby! I updated it quite often right after the birth and less frequently over time, but I hope to keep updating this at least sometimes for a long time to come.
