Here’s a quick rundown of some information that I’ve added to 2JPN over the last little while. If there’s a subject that you think I should have, or a website you think that I’m missing please let me know.
- Japan Jobs Page: Thanks to Andrew Shuttleworth for his Japan Job Search tool. I’ve added it to the top of the page, and am hoping to improve this page further over the next couple of days. Things have been a little hectic for me this week, and if all goes well I should be able to explain why soon.
- Japan Blogs Page: The JapanSoc.com/.org community deserves all the credit for this one. They have a great community over there, and are doing an awesome job of promoting Japan bloggers (including 2JPN, which I’m thankful for!). I encourage everyone to click on over and check out what they’re doing.
- Japan Podcasts Page: This is mostly for my own benefit, because I really needed a page that I could go to and bring up some Japanese audio quickly. I’m mostly working at home these days, so I need to make sure that I have enough Japanese language input around me that I’ll improve my listening skill. I’ve put on a bunch of English language Japan-related podcasts on there as well, although I have to admit that I don’t really have time to check them out myself.
- Sumo Page: Since I’ve started writing my sumo blog on Gaijin Pot, I’ve needed to organize a decent page to aggregate supplementary source material. There’s not a lot of stuff being written in English, but I’ve put some of the main resources on this page. I’m just learning about sumo, so it’s good to read all what other people have to say.
- Tokyo CGM Night Page: This is more or less a proof-of-concept page, as I wanted to whip up something that would aggregate RSS feeds for all the tweets, photos, videos, and blog entries focused around Danny and Andrew’s Tokyo CGM Night. I’m hoping that others will take these feeds and distribute them in other interesting ways as well. It’s a quality event, well worth talking about.
I’ve made other small additions as well, but these are the main ones that I can think of right now. I usually take 5 or 10 minutes each day to add something, and I’m very thankful to people who are suggesting new content via the #2jpn twitter hash tag and via the suggestion page.
As usual all feedback, questions, and insults are welcome. ![]()
