bloggin' and pontificatin'

So, those of you who've been with me for a while have probably noticed that this site's been undergoing a lot of changes as of late, mainly due to the fact that I ditched the old layout in favor of a new blog-based setup. I still have a ways to go before I get everything all caught up, but things are progressing smoothly.

The latest bit I've been working on is the list of links over there on the right side of the page. A few of my good friends here in Japan have their own blogs, which got me to seeking out other similar pages, and in the process I found a few very cool sites run by (seemingly) cool people. Definitely check them out if you're interested in seeing what other people like myself have to say about Japan. I'm sure you'll find some fascinating stuff in there. And if you just can't get enough, be sure to check out Kurt Easterwood's page for the most comprehensive list of Japan-based blogs anywhere on the 'net. I'm still going through them all myself; it's gonna be weeks before I can make it to the bottom!

In other news, my good friend and former co-worker Kevin Gifford has resurrected his old site, Video-Senki, for a second run in the form of the new-and-improved Video-Fenky. Even though Kevin's in San Francisco, he writes mostly about Japan (with a heavy emphasis on game-related topics; we're all gamer geeks at heart), and his posts are almost always informative and entertaining, if a bit off the deep end sometimes. Definitely check it out and tell your friends about it.

I feel like I've got a lot to talk about, but I'm out of time for now, so hopefully I can get back with some more updates later in the week. Ciao for now...
