Bilingualism blogs and self-help stuff

Language Forgetting -- scary stuff. Need to work against this for both 日本語 and 中文! How to make them both relevant and active parts of my daily life?

Simultaneous Interpretation -- Probably a long way away from it... Need to recover my specialized vocabulary (limited to 古文 and 言語学なんだろうな)

Past Trauma Influences sexual fantasies and the things you find attractive? -- This could be problematic.... (although there are definitely positive forces at work here, ie 日常のはかせの喋り方)

Are you teaching people to treat you badly? -- Gotta work on this. Sometimes biculturalism combined with one's past and innate personality is not a good thing....

Hopefully Eloquent Speeches

* WEBLIO 辞書 - http://ejje.weblio.jp/

Is similar to ALC Eijiro this site also brings searched keyword fragments with the corresponding translations found on the web (through Google translate).

* Life Science Dictionary Project page - http://lsd.pharm.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ja/index.html

Covers a variety of Life science areas. Also displays related words (English and Japanese)

* Japanese Law Translations: http://www.japaneselawtranslation.go.jp/

This project is maintained by the Japan Ministry of Justice - you can use the dictionary or search for keywords in context and the corresponding unofficial translation is returned with the results. Handy both for examples and to brush up on Japanese law texts.

* Japanese Character Recognition - http://appsv.ocrgrid.org/nhocr/

I use this when source text is a short PDF I come across a single strange kanji I haven't seen, and unfortunately for me some of the radicals in the kanji are too common (or my denshi jisho is not cooperating).
