I am honored to report that, through the sale of the RONIN: Japan Earthquake Relief Edition bundle, we have raised $1310.00 in donations to help relief efforts in Japan. The donation was sent via PayPal to the Japanese Red Cross Society on April 10, 2011.

It is hard to imagine that it has only been a month since the 9.0 earthquake and ensuing tsunami hit the island nation of Japan. As efforts turn towards the reestablishment of normal life for those affected, it is our hope that this donation can help those in need in some small way.
A very heartfelt thank you to all who participated.
The north of Japan has been hit by an 8.9 magnitude earthquake, making it one of the strongest earthquakes in Japan’s and recent world history. Aftershocks measuring up to 7.1 continued to be felt hours after the initial quake and massive tsunamis have washed over the northern regions of the island, taking cars, boats, houses, lives along the way. Even for a country that is prepared to deal with seismic disasters this is a lot, and help from the world will be needed.
To do our little part, both author Jeremy Puckett and myself, and the good folks at GeekyClean, have decided to put together a bundle.

My wife has been learning the Japanese language on her own for a while, which means an appreciation of Japanese culture has seeped into our household beyond pop-culture mainstays like anime, manga, sushi and ninjas! Part of understanding a language is understanding the culture that uses it, that shaped it, and we’ve both been enriched by what we’ve learned. For some time now we’ve known we have a couple of locations with a Japanese connection we could visit in our general vicinity, and last Sunday we were finally able to make it to the largest of them, the Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach.
