Server Migration

I’ve moved this blog to a new server. Better, bigger, faster, newer. I also took the opportunity to finally update WordPress. I am sorry if anybody tried to reach the site today and hit a wall.

The good news is that the current version of WordPress makes posting images much easier, and that means it’ll be less annoying for me to post and that means … more weird stuff from Japan.

Have fun!

Sorry for the break

Sorry for the break in postings. I’ve switched to a new job and moved to another city, and that meant not only a lot of work but also a time where I had no Internet. I’m back online and ready … Continue reading →

I’m Back

I’m back from my vacation. No self-heating garments were used.

We’ll continue our regular program tomorrow.

Vacations

I’ll be on vacations for a little over a week: I’ll be showing my Japanese friend Europe. I’ll try to practice my (still very, very, very basic) Japanese. Oh, and I will let you guys know if she brought heated slippers to fight the cold European autumn weather.

We’ll get back to our regular schedule of weird Japanese things when I return. Stay tuned.

Hello world!

Welcome to my latest blog. It’s going to be a very quick and very simple one.

For some time, I have drawn great amounts of amusement from all the crazy things the Japanese come up with – the stereotypical underpants vending machines, strange USB toys, pet accessors… You name it. I usually forward stuff I find to my co-workers and we have a good chuckle. But I decided that it would be much cooler to have a more permanent archive of all that wacky stuff those adorable Japanese invent.

And so here we are.

I hope you enjoy your visit here, and that you find something amusing or maybe even educating.
