Banzai!
I went to the Imperial Palace today to see the Emperor and his family. Lovely people. We had tea. And biscuits.
If only there wasn't this huge crowd of people cheering the whole time...we couldn't hear ourselves think.

Sushi is good for you
It's also very filling. I visited a friend from Edinburgh today who's over here helping her mum pack and they made this excellent dinner.

Christmas Card
Before I get any concerned e-mails, I haven't been arrested. I just thought this would be a funny card. I also don't look that rough. At least, I hope not. I've included a couple more recent photos in the pop-up in case you need proof.
Everything here's going well, my Japanese is coming along slowly but surely. I'm now getting private lessons twice a week to help overcome the fact that Japanese is really hard.
I think I must have made it to every area of Tokyo by now, I've been going to a different one each weekend but I still keep finding cool new stuff. I'm also deliberately not going near Akihabara at this time of year just in case I get tempted to buy a bunch of stuff as christmas presents to myself.

Dooze Done
Just to keep up my current focus on extreme geekery, Dooze (formerly known as "s is small") is now available for download. It's kind of ended up as a CMS for people who could probably write their own if they wanted to but just haven't the time. It's still possible to install, customize and use it without knowing any PHP but there's a bunch more stuff you can do with it if you do.
Anyway, enjoy...
