Priceless Information  

This is Ian's piece of web. See it go. Go, weblog, go! Go travel in Asia. Go study in Tokyo. Go home to Portland. Nah, what the hell. Go, study in Beijing.

Stop. I am a student studying Chinese language in Beijing.

I started this weblog in the Summer of 2002. It keeps following me wherever I go. But, I'm glad to have the company.

Thanks to Clifton for hosting Domodomo. If you need a flash or website designer, you can do no better.

Nailing Oil to Water

Radiohead bear, show me the power to know the Amadd4 chord!I am orchestrating a disastrous omiai, trying to force a marriage between Radiohead and the Ukulele. I have my eyes set on the prize: for my ukulele friends and I to be able to play the song Electioneering from OK Computer. I have the guitar tablature for the song, but it's still a struggle. What does "dmadd4" even MEAN?. D minor with something diminished something something 4th position? Several people have suggested I start a ukulele club at Waseda, surprisingly they don't have one. They do however have like fifty god damn tennis clubs. It makes no sense to start one now, with my departure appearing inevitable, so for now we remain just a group. However while trying to figure out Electioneering today I came upon a cool name for my ukulele collective: ukureishii. That's a combination of "ukurere", ukulele, and "ureshii", happy. Japanese language jokes about the ukulele, my nerdcoreness is out of control.
