My project is finished! Huzzah! Okay, here's the scoop. Going through many libraries of photos that I've taken since arriving in Japan, I've put together 12 of my favorites to make into a 2007 calendar! The international version has U.S., Canadian, Japanese, Christian, Jewish and Celestial events marked so any of our friends, wherever they may live may find it useful. The final, published product is available for sale at: www.lulu.com -- a nice, little publishing company. The price for these is $15.98 and there is absolutely no obligation to buy one -- I do get some royalties from it (but not much). If this turns out to be successful, I may pursue other similar projects as well.

In any event, the calendar is finished in plenty of time for next year, so if you want something on your wall to remember us by, hop on over to the publisher's website and pick up a copy! It's really easy! Just click on the button at the end of this post.

Bonnie and I are heading out of town on holidays tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have some more stuff to write about when we return. Bye for now!

Wow! I've been really busy the past 48 hours. Here are the updates:

- My "project" is almost finished and ready to be officially announced

- Link to my Flickr photo Blog here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/88031687@N00/

- Purchased a new domain: www.canadiansushi.info

The new canadiansushi.info will (at least for now) become a new gateway to access this site. The forwarding link from zayith.com will remain, and I also have no immediate plans to dismantle zayith.com even though it's rather obsolete right now.

The canadiansushi.info domain will also be home to a couple other sites, starting with an information resource/link site for our team at work. If you want to check it out, go to: www.canadiansushi.info/FET .

That's all for now in regards to major housekeeping. Hopefully in the next week I'll polish up the main Blog site to reflect some of the above additions. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'm finished with the super-pink "hanami" cherry-blossom Springtime theme for the Blog... I've changed it to something a little more neutral -- and something that reminds me of Summer. In any event, the CSS coding is a lot simpler, so I think I will use this one out-of-the-box... I may change my mind too, but for the time being, it will do nicely. I seem to have lost the links to all my photos... But as I've mentioned before, the photos section is something that I haven't been able to keep up with very well. I'm thinking that I just might set up an alltogether different "photo Blog" site. I've recently gotten set-up on Flickr and have been fairly happy with it. I just may put up a permanent link to my page on that site. Look for it -- it's coming very soon! I've also been working on a new project that is VERY near completion... As soon as it's finished, I will make an official announcement on this page. Also coming very soon! Finally, I'm just about finished with the next batch of postcards... If you haven't been receiving any -- please send me an e-mail so you can get on the list. And I'm not talking about e-mail postcards. I'm talking about actual, snail-mail, photographic cards delivered to your door. I'm pretty sure I've already included most of our family and friends, but just in case we haven't.... let me know.
