Japan Blog
I've promised several people that I'd keep a blog while I'm in Japan, so this website is the answer to those promises. Right now I'm still in Austin, but I'm leaving in about 30 hours. I'm going to be in orientation from when I arrive on the 14th until I move to Yamato to start work at IBM on the 21st. Among other things, orientation consists of Japanese language instruction (how much can we learn in 2 days?), a homestay, and a poster presentation. We are supposed to bring a poster describing the work that we'll be doing in Japan, but IBM won't tell me anything specific until I arrive. I wound up just creating poster that describes clustering in simple terms that non-computer scientists should find easy to digest. If everything goes according to plan, Kevin (my former roommate at Rice) will meet me at the airport on the 14th and we'll take the train out to Chiba to see Aiko (his wife) and Amy (their daughter, born last year). Expect pictures :-)

Chris-- you can't post, but you can write all the comments that you want. Just keep in mind that my relatives are reading this in addition to my friends :-)
I've turned on anonymous commenting so that people aren't forced to register with blogger just to write a comment.
Are you planning to set up RSS/Atom capability for this blog? I'd love to syndicate it onto LiveJournal, because that would make it easier for me to keep up with it.
I think that RSS is turned on. Try http://tokyocluster.blogspot.com/atom.xml
I'm not much of an RSS expert myself, but I know that a lot of people would like an LJ feed. Alexis, if you set that up could you post the relevant information in a comment?
Wow I've never posted in a blog before... I was happy to learn that "You can use some HTML tags, such as , , " That means the rest of this comment is going to be bold and italicized because of the copy/paste function
Good luck in Japan, Justin!

Man, we've got to talk about changing the front page's color scheme. It's so...retro.
I've set up the LiveJournal feed -- the account name is justin_in_japan. Info page for the account at http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=justin_in_japan.
Sorry it took me awhile!
