A beauty secret
If anyone has ever wondered the secret to my alluring scent, “Mooooooo!”
Cow Beauty Soap (ミルク成分配合 [with a combination of milk ingredients])
Note the highly effective branding: nothing says fresh and clean like a dairy cow.
Milk seems to be a big selling point here in Japan, at least judging from the increasing number of milkfed bags I see [...]
Privacy on the Internet
Lately, online privacy has been widely discussed, especially with regard to Google and Facebook.
Between these two, Facebook has the more condemnable approach to user privacy. Facebook’s complex and ever-changing privacy policy is suspect, as is its practice of rolling out privacy changes to all its users regardless of preset user preferences. If you set your [...]
Disproportionate Japanese
Today, coming home on the Tsukuba Express, I noticed a sign for the emergency door release.
Reading this sign, I was struck by the disporportionate amount of Japanese relative to English.

To start, I must first note that all work-related posts come with the following disclaimer: my company’s clients and the client’s research are confidential, so identifying [...]
On the Origin of Species
Lately, I have been reading On the Origin of Species on my iPhone. Although I must confess that I haven’t read the whole thing, in part because I already know how it ends (Fig. 1).
I doubt many people reading this post will need me to point out Darwin’s brilliance (although some people might!). Instead, [...]
BlackJack
I made a blackjack game in C++. You can click the link to download the game (probably only works on windows). You can see the source code after the jump.
Grid Game: Latest C++ Opus
Here is my latest C++ masterpiece after the jump. Move your guy (U) to get the treasure (T) and avoid the monsters (Q and M).
This is some seriously hi-tech shizzle.
