  • This Week in Magazines

    —

    I’ve been slow with my “This Week in Magazines” posts of late, so time to catch up. I’ll probably post another one in a couple of days. Please note that some of the following titles already have a newer issue out. Also, I picked up the following for Cafe Pause last week. TITLE (90) took…

  • Japanese Kanji Flashcards from White Rabbit Press

    —

    For longtime readers, you know that my battle with Japanese is an ongoing one. I’ve gotten to a point where I can converse casually, but I still can’t use it in a professional manner, and more annoyingly, still can’t read more than headlines and the like.

    Another photostitch experiment I did today with my new camera (this is actually made up of the first 4 pictures I took with it) is my favorite hangout these days, Minami-Ikebukuro park. You can see a larger version here. Recognize that bike on the right? Yup, that’s my MUJI bike.

  • Daddy’s Got a Brand New Camera

    —

    ,

    I got a new camera today. My old one, a Canon PowerShot A95, had been giving me trouble for about a month now, often times not responding properly, and it finally stopped working completely a couple of days ago — the real sad thing is that I only realized it as I was being given…
