So Annoying!

It’s so annoying! I mean working with WordPress. Suddenly the classical editor got removed. I’m obviously able to work with the more modern editor, too. But I preferred the classical editor.

Correction to ‘Hoshikawa’

In my article on the asteroid Hoshikawa, I wrote that the Japanese spellings of the names Hioki Tsutomu (日置 努) and Hayakawa Shūji (早川 修司) must be guessed.

Who Humbled Him?

My main bully from kindergarten and elementary school has after graduating from school probably worked for a breakdown service.

History Really on Repeat

While I some days ago couldn’t sleep, I during the darkest night watched some tv documentaries about battles in the Second World War, the equipment back then, and modern equipment.

Wording in Manga Titles

The Japanese eBook shop BookLive conducted a survey with its own assortment of manga. BookLive thus figured out that manga titles became longer over the years. Yet the survey hadn’t been exclusively about the length of titles. The survey also found that consumers buy more eBooks in one purchase and buy not only the popular […]
