I was happy to run across Balefire's blog today. Dunno how I'd missed it before. Balefire is a "live life to the fullest" character I knew back in my Japan days. For several years we were a tag team of editor and publisher of the Tokyo PC Users Group's monthly newsletter. I haven't seen Mike, er Balefire, in person in years, but his writing is as lively, perspicacious, and opinionated as ever. A great read for anyone interested in life in Japan from the view of a gaijin who has lived there for decades.
Running across Balefire's blog also had me checking out the Tokyo PC Users Group website for the first time in years. It appears the club is thriving, which is great to see.
