It was long in the coming, but the site has finally had a major cleaning, and I am posting new notes. Those looking for the old content can still find most of it tucked away on the exact same pages as before, including journal entries from the early days of my arrival in Japan as well as my response to Bush’s use of 9/11 to call for war in Iraq. The home page is completely different, dead links have been pruned, and posts going forward will benefit from a new and improved organization.
