The Other Bits

Lost in f*ckin’ translation
A very very big shout-out to blogger Jake Adelstein at the Japan Subculture Research Center for pointing out these amazing sales discounts, available at a department store in downtown Osaka, Japan (in Shinsaibashi, right next to Hearton Hotel Shinsaibashi and Planet 3rd cafe, if you’re interested). Thanks also to @jjbw, @emilyknits, and @LettersOfNote, whose tweets brought them to my attention.

Yeah, okay, so this particular blog layout requires that I have a Welcome-type message posted permanently at the bottom of the home screen. And here it is. The purpose of this blog is to take receipt of miscellaneous bits and pieces that I enjoy looking at, or that I otherwise feel are worth recording/storing for posterity. My main blog — The Science Bit — is much more serious and is located elsewhere. I expect that most of what ends up here will be stuff I encounter opportunistically, and much (if not the majority) will be uploaded via my phone or some other ad hoc means. I will then touch up the appearance when next online, if necessary. So please forgive me if things look a little messed up on occasion! Okay — so I reckon that this amount of text is about right for a Welcome message. Therefore, I will stop right here.
Asides
- Am also trying to work out how to get multiple posts on the frontpage. Settings and examples clearly allow it, but it's not happening.
- Am still trying to sort out how best to embed video into posts without overhanging the frontpage secondary menu.
