Other Sites
Here are some websites that I am associated with in some way. I usually make websites for people and then show them how to update them themselves, so I am no longer maintaining most of the sites below myself.

I designed the English and Japanese website for the association when I was working there (in 2000), but the site that you can find at this link now has been changed drastically from what I did.

Japan Canada Community Network
http://www.geocities.com/japancanadacommunity (no longer online)
I created this site when I was living in Canada, but it is way too high maintenance for me to keep up while I am in Japan. It has a lot of good information, but it needs constant attention to make sure that all of the resource entries are kept up to date. I wish someone would volunteer to maintain it.

This is a non-profit organization that seeks to control the stray cat population through “trap, neuter, return” (TNR) techniques.

I participated in the initial planning stages of this site, but I had very little to do with the design and nothing to do with the content.
