I'm an IT engineer, and since Dec 2024 I've been blogging about introversion.
As I write, I've realized that the struggles of introverts are universal, regardless of nationality. That's why I've decided to share my thoughts in English as well.😌

Let me introduce my blog about introverts 🖊️
Feel free to check it out if you're interested! 😌

Newton? Edison? Einstein?

Weekend schedule: delightfully empty.

​In my 20s, that was a failure. In my 40s, it's a luxury.

​I have a new VPS and 48 hours of tinkering time. Give me a clean command line over a night out any day.

I’d like to talk about The Analects,
an ancient Chinese classic.

If you’re someone who once disliked classical texts in school,
it might feel a little surprising.

🖊️ In Praise of Shadows — Is Darkness “Evil”?

Today, I’d like to introduce an essay by Jun’ichirō Tanizaki.
And speaking of shadows — have you seen Demon Slayer?
It, too, hides a quiet key.

It made me think deeply once again about war.

The Japanese word "職人"(shokunin) can be translated as both craftsman and artisan in English.
They are the very source of what we call "Made in Japan"・・・😌

Today is "Invite an Alien to Live with You Day"
👽 — apparently an American-born holiday.
Didn’t know this was a thing...

A symbolic gesture of "welcoming the unfamiliar"
Kinda weird, but surprisingly deep.
