My old Nokia phone had a few feature I discovered during my first class in front of a new professor. I turned off my phone at start of class, but little did I know that the Nokia will ring the morning alarm even if your phone is off. It was

Sure does, I have the same day as you. But wasn’t it pg’s blog and not Reddit that sent the initial users? Starting to get hazy on the details.

Nice, your now smartened ones are actually cheaper than our dumb ones then. I was looking at CS-220DFR, also for 6 tatami, for which the best price on Kakaku is 49k (tax inclusive). But in the end we got three Daikin ones from our moving co

I also live in Japan, and recently bought 3 new air conditioners, but my instinct was the opposite: forego anything "smart". For tech like that I want it to be as dumb as possible so that there are less things that can go wrong wi

It was some very short-lived MUD just recently started by a few people, and it quickly shut down. As a player I was active in BatMud, but fortunately lost all my in-game money in the in-game casino one time, which gave me enough motivation

Reminds me how it took me a pretty long time to understand that there are things people know to be true, but kind of wink-nudge pretend is otherwise. For example gambling is illegal here in Japan. Yet there are pachinko games, where you get
