Note to self: Look for the yellow building with slit windows. Surugamachi 2? Goddamn Japanese street numbers.
Only in Issan
Kubota convertible with sunshade driving around town every day with no plates and hazards flashing.
As a side note, I know this gent and he’s more of a classic than all of the twenty-odd cars in his collection… He collects all of the cars that he wanted in his youth, but couldn’t afford. Never knew he wanted a rice tractor, tho.
DJ Enferno – Higher
Top notch performance by classically trained pianist and DJ extraordinaire, Enferno. He has a launchpad to launch his launchpad on the launchpad, if you know what I mean. At my peak, which was very short (and approximately 600 years ago), the best I could do was two Discmans, a dual tape deck, and two PS1s. This guy is so fucking awesome.
If you liked his song and have a love for Hova like I do, you also need to see this one: F*ckwithmeyouknowigotit
Fixing my trusty ASUS laptop
…and installing an SSD at the same time. This particular laptop has served me for seven years already and I would normally not bother, but SSDs are cheap and it will make a good Minecraft rig for the kids. I already installed Linux and Windows 10. God bless KMS Pico.
The problem, as it turned out, was a small piece of ABS from a case peg that had broken off and settled inside the cooling fan. Made the whole rig sound like it was going to explode.
Top this.
It’s very rare to find someone who’s the master of so many things.
720, 960, 2048 pixels wide
These are the optimal sizes for photos you upload to Facebook. I had no idea. I knew that FB automatically resizes and formats your photos, but did not know these were the magic numbers. Also:
- Resize your photo to one of the following supported sizes:
Regular photos: 720px, 960px, 2048px (width)
Cover photos: 851px by 315px - If you use a 2048px photo, select the High Quality option when you upload
To avoid compression when you upload your cover photo (emphasis mine), make sure the file size is less than 100KB - Save your image as a JPEG with an sRGB color profile

Cökelek salad
At our friend Turgay’s house having this wonderful Turkish salad with tomato, onion, parsley, mint and Cökelek cheese from Hatai, Turkey. This regional cheese is smoked, fermented, and has an otherworldly funk about it. Absolutely delicious.
