OLD NEWS (But still somewhat relevant):

I've been through various stages of updating and expanding.  People with a really keen eye, or who are so bored that they visit my site somewhat regularly, will notice some cosmetic changes (some graphics removed, and general formatting of page headers and footers.)  Why does it sometimes take me so long to update?  First off, because nobody's paying me to do this.  Second, because I work my ass off at work and when I get home I usually only have the energy to read/write some e-mail then play video games.

In similar news, in November of 2004 I swtiched from Nucleus to Movable Type. I liked how MT better fit into the CSS plans I had for this place.

Since I now own the English release of Brigandine as well as the Japanese-only release of Brigandine GE, I've gone back to using the moniker "Mad Monarch Voards" while online.

15 weeks of Salsa class have taught me one important thing:  I don't like dancing that much.
NOTE: This is *way* old news, but I keep it up here becaise I *really* dislike Salsa dancing.

NEWER NEWS (But will be out of date in a few months):

I recently discovered News is *not* an acronym for North East West South. This is particularly shocking to those of us who never assumed that's what is stood for.

Kyoko and I are quickly approaching our 2nd anniversary. Does that mess with your head? It messes with mine. I mean, seriously.

The Hanshin Tigers are on fire again this year. Will they make it to the playoffs?? If they do, will they lose to Chunichi Dragons? (Note: Chunichi is the other team most likely to enter the Japan League playoffs). Win or lose, you'll see a lot of Hanshin fans in the Dotonburi River...

Yeah, I'm still working to clean up all my code. Eventually I'll have the entire place CSS and HTML validated. Someday...
