Running Blog 01: Shoegaze Summer Begins / シューゲイザーの夏お始まり The rice is being planted. The fat yellow sun is blazing in a blue sky. Out for a run, headphones in. It's perfect for an epic and surreal 1992 shoegaze album from Ride. 田植え中です。太い、暖かい太陽が青空で輝いてる。ランニングする為お出かけて、イヤホン入ってる。シュールな90年代のディメンションへ飛んでる。また来ました、シューゲイザーサマーの始まり。 **Today's music: Ride, Going Blank Again (Expanded Version)** **Recommended Tracks / オススメのトラック：** "Leave Them All Behind," "Mouse Trap," "Grasshopper" (Expanded…
Running Blog 02: Hidden Trails, Abandoned Gods / 隠れトレイル、放棄された神々 I ventured off the pavement and beaten path today, after running up a tiny mountain nearby. 今日はランニングで小さい山を登った後、森の隠れトレイルで走った。 A ways down the trail, there's what looks to be an abandoned piece of an old Shintō shrine. A little further, overgrown concrete steps seem to confirm this used to be the site of one. ちょっと進むと廃墟の神社みたいな建物があります。草と笹で蔓延った階段もあるので、やっぱり、昔は神社かもしれないね。 I'll have to do some research on that. I ran…

Emerald DAO NFTs to Celebrate the Bitcoin Cash Upgrade While the process of acquiring these guys involved some glitches, frustration, and a bit of time spent troubleshooting with devs, I finally was able to land a couple cool NFTs to celebrate May 15th's Bitcoin Cash network upgrade, which essentially enables UTXO-based token creation and smart contracts to rival those on Ethereum, all on-chain on the BCH network! For some odd reason I can't post links on Read.cash. I am…
Running Blog 04: Suwako Ultramarathon / 諏訪湖ウルトラマラソン！ I ran the Lake Suwa Ultramarathon in Nagano this weekend! この週末、諏訪湖ウルトラマラソンしていました！ I signed up for the 80km race (5 laps), but finished after just three hard laps around the lake of about 10 miles each (48km in total). ウルトラマラソンの中で、コースが三種類でした。僕は５周の８０キロのレースに参加していたんですが、３周終わったら、リタイアをしました。 The sun was very close there in the highlands of Nagano, and it got very hot. The water the event provided tasted like disgusting chlorine…
