A few of you have probably been wondering where the updates have been this week. Once again, it is Golden Week [1] in Japan. Golden Week is a weeklong press holiday, meaning there will more than likely be no TechJapan updates this week.

I will also say that I will be going to Europe again this year (leaving the 8th), and will return in the first week of June. I plan to have no internet access whatsoever; you will not be seeing any TechJapan updates from me. However, sar7501 and ando will be around and can hopefully get to the "major" stuff. If you happen to be able to translate Japanese into English and would like to take a stab at writing for TechJapan, please send an email to zmcnulty AT techjapan.com and I will be more than happy to set you up with everything you need to provide updates while I am away.

In other news, we have some changes planned for TechJapan this summer. We are still investigating getting away from PostNuke, will probably be revamping the layout, be making the forums useful, and will be providing tons more content.
