welcome to tokubo.com

The now annual Tahoe gathering is just around the corner. Look forward to seeing everyone there!

Hi everyone,
Happy holidays from the tokubo.com webmaster. Things I still have on tap, but have not gotten around to over the past few months.
- Better gallery
- Better integration with the sub-sites
- Post more information
- Update the backend to a newer version of wordpress.

These are still on my to-do list, but I am one of the lucky few who get to work through the holiday season. Plus Chance and Kara are pretty good at keeping me busy.

I’ll have pictures of the Fresno meeting up shortly. Also, there will be some general cleanup happening with the website shortly. It looks like the hosting company moved our site to some much better servers, so the gallery seems to be faster. I’ll also be upgrading to the newest version of blog SW. I may try to consolidate all of the blog entries so we have an easier time seeing things like Glenn and Cyndi’s updates.

If you have pics, please send them todd at tokubo dot com.

Thanks to everyone who came up to Tahoe for the weekend.

A special thanks to:

• Brian for being the catalyst for everything.
• Uncle Russell and Aunty Sally for the use of the house.
• Aunty Michi and my dad (Shig) for prepping the food.
• And to everyone who made sure all the kids (the next generation kids) had fun.

Man… do I look like a giant in this picture or what? 

It’s about that time of year.

When I take some vacation time from work and start to mess with the website.  I know Ryan and other have been having some issues with the updated Gallery code, so I may try something different.

As usual, I’m open to ideas, so feel free to send anything in.

We wish all of our family and friends the best for 2008!!!

A couple of things have happened over the past couple of months.  My aunty Michi had given me some vintage photos of my father.  Now, my scanner’s not great, but you get the point.  If anyone else has vintage pictures from camp or anything else, please email me scans or do what Aunty Michi did, take a digital photo of your original picture.

Also, some pictures from Uncle Ki, Uncle Akira and Aunty Kimi’s trip to Hiroshima have started to come in.  I’ve posted them here.

I’d love to start putting more family photos here.  You can use the contact page to get in touch with me.   I usually answer within 24 hours.

Ryan and Eliza have uploaded more pics of Mia here.

Okay… that sounds like the title of a book…

Anyway, Mitsuko just sent me a couple of pictures of all the people who went over to visit.

This morning, I met Akira-Betty, Kiyoshi-Sachiko, Kimiye-Shoso and Amy-Takashi at Hiroshima Station.  After that Goro’s family had a welcome party at a Japanese restaurant with a Japanese garden. Goro’s oldest brother’s (head) family and two of Akira’s friends joined the lunch party, too.

Hi everyone! I think I figured out why the image gallery was so slow. Things seems to be displaying much better now. Please browse the gallery and tell me what you think.
