Kana Reading Material Resources
Posted on November 20, 2009
I was asked earlier this week on twitter if I knew of any Kana reading material resources. The question was in reference to materials such as books, magazines, websites, etc that are written in Kana, rather than lots of Kanji, so that beginners like myself have a chance at actually reading some of it. At the time, I had little to say so I’ve gone to work and this is what I’ve dug up!

Tutorial: Minimal CSS Image Hover
Posted on November 18, 2009
Text link hover are quite common, but becoming even more common is image link hovers. Why is this? Well, because you can make things look much nicer(cooler, cleaner, sharper, etc) using an image. Problem is that it can get messy with all the CSS that is involved if you don’t do it properly. I’m here to show you an easy way. Check out the demo if you’re not sure what I mean by Pure CSS Image Hover.

My Japanese Coach
Posted on November 11, 2009
I think these series are fairly familiar to those of you who are studying a language, but if not, “My Japanese Coach”(comes in other languages) is a video game for the Nintendo DS. The game itself, as in control/menu, is in English but it teaches you Japanese(or whatever language you get it in).
