I’ve updated the People in Japan photo album — added new photos and changed the album design. Sooner or later, I’ll get around to updating the other albums.

Snowboarding Pics
New photos and movies of a day of snowboarding at Myoko Suginohara have been posted in the Photos & Flicks section.
Japan Travel Map
I’ve made a small update to the neglected Life in Japan section of my site, adding a travel map showing most of the places I’ve visited during my stay in Japan.
Fall Pics
I’ve posted some new photos, from a bike ride and hike I did last Sunday. They show some of the nice fall colors we have now in Nagano.
Pictures of Osaka/Kyoto/Nara Trip
I’ve posted pictures of our trip to Osaka, Kyoto and Nara. I’m not sure when I’ll get around to writing up an overview of the trip; might not be for another week or so.
More Photos
Photos of our Tokyo weekend have been posted. There are also two new movies.
Guestbook
I’ve posted a guestbook for salutations and general comments. It’s pretty basic at this point; I’ll try to spruce it up a bit down the road.
Even More New Photos
Additional photos have been posted: My August Hokkaido trip and a few pictures from a day of mountain biking in Hakuba a couple weeks ago.
New Photos & Movies
I’ve posted photos of my Fuji climb and the subsequent day at the Fujikyo amusement part. There are also six new movies.
One of these days, I’m going to better organize the movies and then add more from this past summer.
Nagano Weather
I’ve added a weather link on the side, with Yahoo Weather information for Nagano (sorry for the annoying pop-up ad). The latest weather info on Nagano seems to be at 4pm each day so it’s not updated very often. I’m still looking for a better source of local weather.
It continues to be hot and sunny every day. Whenever I look at the weather info on Yahoo, it seems cooler than it actually feels here. I arrive at work every day drenched in sweat.
Having to wear the dress shirt and tie doesn’t help matters. I stopped wearing a suit jacket a long time ago. Considering the summer weather, it’s strange to think we’ll have lots of snow during the winter.
