new design 2.0

So I have slacked hardcore at writing on this for about 6 months… But you can see (if anyone still reads this) that I have redesigned it. This design is a lot cleaner and more “professional”. I have used some subtle javascript bits to make it more pleasing (like try hovering over the image on the top for a bit). Some of it is still in need of some fixing, which may happen eventually, but not until I return from Japan.

Ha! I haven’t written on this for so long that I have not discussed my trip to Japan. This Saturday (as in 5 days from today) I will be flying from here to Tokyo to spend 2 weeks in Japan with 2 of my friends and my girlfriend. I have been planning this trip for a while and almost all of that planning is coming to fruition. I will be staying in Shinjuku and exploring the city and surrounding area each day. We plan on at least climbing Fuji (again for me) for sunrise, going to see a game between the Hanshien Tigers and Yomiuri Giants (Japanese Baseball), visiting the Studio Ghibli museum, and seeing the Sumida River fireworks show. I have purchased a nice Nikon D3000 DSLR camera for pictures (since my ancient P&S Canon died on me) and plan to add plenty of shots from the trip. I also hope to write in this often during the trip, so people can keep up with my trip as it goes on. I will get to spend 2 weeks without work and with my friends. After the trip, I will be dealing with two weeks of questions at work, but my girlfriend will be staying with me until she returns to school at some point. So check back on here to see what is going on during my trip. Hopefully the server this is hosted on doesn’t take a shit while I am gone. I turned on the auto-on on power loss, but during this discovered that most of the case fans are not running and the CPU is running over 100 degrees while idle. But that will hopefully be for another day… post Japan :)
