Miscellaneous.

Here is my Kana practice thing. I made this in a likely futile attempt to learn to read Japanese. For now, it only has Hiragana, and doesn't include the diacritics or the yoôn. It's AJAX, but in the olden days we just called it javascript.

Rocking.

This is how much I rock:

Remark: I would yell more when I sing, but I live in an apartment... And my headset can't handle loud singing.
