My father was a lawyer and I was in his office a lot growing up. I'm pretty sure printed documents were always letter size, so they could fit in normal filing cabinets and folders. Growing up the in the US the only place I ever saw leg

I like the idea of quoting other sites in a standard way, and the browser extension looks great, but I really don't want to have to deal with JS just to include a quote in a post. Since it doesn't ping the author (like a Pingback)

This is an exhibit of futuristic art at the Mori Museum in Tokyo that happened to run into the quarantine period. Since the exhibit had to close early they put it online. While the page title is in japanese, the information throughout the e

WHG II is Gates's father, so his grandfather would have the same name, and the date would be fine. I can't find much info on WHG I, but it seems like maybe he was a banker, which would make it surprising if he was writing about mi

Oh, hey Dan! The mice seem to have become popular around 1890, so that was after Japan had opened up. No idea if the mice actually came from Japan or China though, haven't been able to find much of anything about them that isn't i
