There is a specific genre of Sci-Fi I’ve always liked. I’ve never really liked the fantasy type where fair knights wander around on knightly errantry. I’ve never really liked the type where someone is trying to make a social point or extrapolate the future – though those types are really
So WordPress tells me I’m on a 28 day streak of posting to this blog. Yay me. I don’t think I’m going to break that streak today. But there’s nothing that’s really pressing on my mind. So I thought this time I’d make a mindless post. I’m going to post
This is going to be one of those posts that I’m going to look back on, and think “that was a pretty good post”. And then I’m going to regret it utterly. Today, I had a bad experience at work. My team has just been merged with another team, and
I may be able to extract a post for Texihabara on this subject from this, but I kind of want to be a little freer here. There is something about Japanese music that fascinates me. Well, several things, really. Babymetal has a song, “Da da dance”. It’s an extraordinarily high energy

I’ve been busy!!! So, as I was looking back on some of my earlier posts, I had made a few observations of discoveries I’d made about Japanese, but they got lost in the noise of my emo angst and whining. So I decided that it would make sense to make
So as y’all may know, I’m currently working on another site called Texihabara. It’s kinda lame right now, but I’m actually really pleased with the framework I’ve built, I think I can add to it to make it something special. I just have to figure out what “special” means. However, I
While I was doing research for another project I was doing, I went down a bit of a rabbithole. I was trying to explain (and make sure I understood) the uses of voiced vs. unvoiced consonants. I found a bunch of interesting things. One was that there are some kana
Today, Sept 11, 2021, marks the 20th anniversary of the 2001 terrorists attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center in New York and killed about 3,000 or so people. I’m not going to recount my experience of the event, because frankly, I didn’t really have one. I was about 600
