No smoking
Kin’en Style is a site that lets you search for smoke-free restaurants. There’s an English section up as well, although its list contains zero establishments, making it somewhat less useful than the Japanese version.
(Time for the obligatory plug for Enchanté, my in-laws’ restaurant in Yotsuya San-chome. Lunch hours are smoke-free there as well.)

Old Tokyo; or, back online in the new Tokyo
Some very interesting historical material up at Old Tokyo - Vintage Tinted Images of the Japanese Capital City. The Department of Foreign Affairs (on the Kasumigaseki page) was a very stately building.
So I haven’t done a thing with this place in months. In recent weeks I’ve had an excuse, which was that my hosting company blew up. Something. They’re back in existence as of today, although I can’t FTP into this server now to update the CRITICAL SECURITY HOLES that WordPress tells me it has. Oops.
My other excuses were a lengthy autumn visit from mom and dad (well, grandma and grandpa; they sure weren’t here to see me), a big freelance project I wrapped up at the end of the year, and sloth in general.
I do have a bunch of stuff lined up in MarsEdit waiting to be edited and posted, so here’s hoping I get around to some of that content before April. Hello Internet!
