Latest update...
Have you ever wanted to learn about pocket calculators and the origin of their Japanese name?
blue forest dark of memory
If your day is boring, you can fix that.
I left and wandered around. I had a location in mind: a sturdy pylon who I had met before. I followed her wires north. Further and further... waded through tall grass for fun... ended up with some fabulous views.
Unfortunately some nasty stuff happened between me and some insects. But that's better than being bored, neh~

Kraftwerk lied to me! This calculator can't fit in my pocket at all.
2026-01-07
If you have ever listened to the band Kraftwerk, the Japanese-language release of their song about little calculators that play a little melody when you press a special key may have taught you the Japanese word dentaku. Language learning can be fun!
Just one thing, though: most words starting with den, which means electricity make perfect sense. A utility pole is den-chuu, an "electric pole". A train is den-sha, an "electric vehicle". A telephone is den-wa, for "electric speech". But den-taku means "electric table". What on earth does a pocket calculator have to do with the idea of an electricity-powered table?
It all comes down to how, in 1964, a Japanese business owner had a choice: he could buy a brand new car and drive his family across the country for a lavish getaway, or he could buy one contraption as large as your kitchen microwave so his accountant could stop using a little wooden abacus.

Sheoldred - EP 1
2026.02.15
Sheoldred is a new project that I know nothing about, other than the fact that they're a Magic the Gathering themed band. This would usually turn me away as I dislike trading card games, but I really enjoy Dex's solo project that same street, so I decided to give it a chance considering he markets this one as screamo too.

Song of the month!
五人一首 - 赤い記憶
Mousecky? Posting prog? Is he having a stroke? No! He's been charmed by the lovely band Gonin-Ish, who once had a Dagashi Kashi member among their ranks.
This song seriously blew me away.
