nice site. I read your old Yesterweb analysis post btw. I know that was a long time ago but I still laughed because I remember that absolutely ridiculous document and went through the same experience of unraveling it that you did!

i think a lot of people were bamboozled into thinking it had substance by the lofty academic obscurantist style and excessive length... i guess the medium is the message, as they say

i hate that it's the most popular post ever on my site, it disappoints me that nothing plays better online than discussing internet drama (sometimes it feels like that's the main function of the internet), but i guess if that piece lured in just one person who then read the rest of my bs too then maybe it's worth it...

i really enjoyed reading your cook along page โ it seemed so fun that it made me want to start exploring new dishes myself.

yeah, it's unfortunate i couldn't keep it up for long because they didn't end up having one easy dish to cook per episode for the rest of the show, i was under the mistaken impression at the start that it would similar to those kodomo anime where they guarantee you one henshin per episode. i probably would have run out of steam at some point anyway though...

i'm probing new depths of cursed lazy japanese cooking nowadays thanks to this cookbook i picked up called the "motivation 1% cookbook", 2023's bestselling cookbook in japan, including gems like "microwave teriyaki chicken" and "cup noodle chahan"

i was actually thinking the same thing yesterday when i was working on something and looking at the actual pages themselves extensively instead of just working inside code editor the whole time...
at the same time, i like the "no cheap thrills to be had here!" vibe you get from going monochrome
