Pixar did a rather nice short film about 'Mater going to Tokyo. There are no Santas but it made me happy anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5gdy-6Y6RY...
Ho Ho Ho, Santas. Welcome to Santarchy Tokyo 2009. This year Siggraph.org is holding an Asian regional convention in Yokohama. Various Santas and I will be...
I just registered for siggraph last night. I'd be down for going to Okinawa. Think I wanna stay in japan this year though. On Oct 2, 2009, at 8:23 AM,...
I'm not sure how easy it would be to get here, but it would be awesome. http://www.viceland.com/wp/2009/04/battleship-island-japans-rotting-metropolis/...

"Gunkanjima" or "Battleship Island", near Nagasaki, was opened for site seeing on April 22nd, 2009. You can't go explore the island at random but there are...
I'm quite interested in Japanese whisky distilleries and would like to visit a couple. Anyone else down? I may have some connections at The Yamazaki. Suntory...
I've heard Okinawa bandied about as a potential post-Santarchy jaunt. I'm interested. Anyone else? What dates work best? I'm good for any time after the...
I enjoy relaxing times as much as the next guy. I'd definitely be down for a visit to Japan's distilleries. Santarchy is on the 19th, so any time after the...

On the three day Okinawa trip, is the only full day the middle day (the 22nd) on this schedule? If so, I would think you'd want to change it to make the full...

I'd like to do a Skype conference call to brainstorm what to do post-christmas and post-Okinawa. Getting a JR pass and ending up in Nagasaki is good but we...
This sounds good. I don't know my Japanese geography very well so I made a map of where the distilleries are, plus other points of interest. Let me know if...
