>> Site Tweaking

I’ll be tinkering around with the site (mostly with the design) for a week or two so please pardon any weirdness you may encounter. Regular posts to continue next year (which happens to be less than three days away).

>> Happy Holidays from Pop.i-O

Geez, to think that this’ll be my only post for the whole month! I wonder if anyone else feels that this year went by in a blur. Did I have that much fun? It’s certainly been a blast blogging about Okinawa’s pop culture and I really appreciate the positive feedback I’ve received from like-minded fans from Brazil, Canada, Chicago, France, Germany, Hawaii, Japan, Korea, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Singapore (to name a few).

Although there were projects of mine that I did not get off the ground this year like O.M.G. (Okinawan Music Geeks), a special event for reaching my 10,000 visitor, or interviews of performing arts instructors in Hawaii (and abroad), my “hope” is to see these and other projects on the site in 2004 (hey, if I can’t do it in a year’s time then it’ll never get done).

Finally, I want to say nifee to all of you who keep me positive enough to keep this little blog going, and to all of the very talented individuals within the Okinawan pop culture community who make this all possible. Have a safe and happy rest of the year and I’ll see all of you again next year!

And most of all, têgê everyone. ;)
