larryhammerImportant recent discoveries:
Mnemosyne may indeed be a better flash-card program than Kanji Gold, and not just because it's not just for kanji. (I prefer the way it spaces out cards how well you know them, though I don't always find the period predictable. OTOH, I do like how Kanji Gold separates meaning, kun-yomi, and on-yomi drills. Hmmm.)
A web-widget that converts Aozora Bunko texts to PDFs, vertical text, in standard Japanese paperback page-size. Which also happens to be very close to standard e-reader screen size. (Also, Aozora has the works of Niimi Nankichi, but that's more a belated realization than a discovery. I am very fond of my picture book edition of "Tebukuro o kai ni," and am looking forward to reading more.)
Wuxia translations, which may not have all the fan translations of wuxia novels that are out there, but the bulk of completed ones are available in ebook formats (with links to projects in progress).
An actually good Chinese restaurant in town. It's Szechuan rather than Americanized Chinese, and very little English was being spoken.
There are such things as albino hummingbirds.
