Here's an FYI to any and all wondering why there is a conspicuous
lack of updates to the Samurai Archives page - we are currently in
the process of putting a book together - with plans for a second
within the next two years, contents of which are temporarily top
secret. The amount of translating involved, as well as school,
family and work obligations takes away from any real time to make any
major updates to the page. We are looking at a publishing date of
sometime in the future within the last 4 - 5 months of this year, but
don't have a solid timetable down. Anyway, the one publisher we have
been looking at has a [hopefully] temporary hold on new manuscripts
until they catch up on an apparently large backlog of books that are
waiting to be published. At the very least, we intend to keep
the 'Samurai of the Week' changed each week, and keep this list
moderated (so don't worry if it takes a day or two for one of us to
approve a message). Anyway, somewhat on topic - since updates from
us may not be too forthcoming on the page for a while, if there is
anyone out there who wants to put together some 'samurai desktop
wallpaper' for us to put on the 'downloads' page, or even create
some 'samurai' related 'skins' for games such as "the sims", "half-
life", etc., email me off the list (especially the sims!) at
kitsuno@... and we'll see about adding them to
our 'downloads' section.
