How to Get Korean (Hangul) Working on Ubuntu 16.04
EDITED October 31, 2016 This tutorial might also work on Ubuntu 14.04, I haven’t tried yet. I love Ubuntu and I love Hangul but I’m not going to deny it – it’s not hyper-easy to get it running on Ubuntu, not because it’s super hard but because there aren’t any helpful blog posts out there to walk someone through it.…
The Sunny Shores of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch: I never knew this place existed. I never knew it was real.

Bangus Spanish Style
I’m trying to grow up. Really, I am. The problem is that I keep running into things that make my inner 12 year old laugh. Thanks to a Spanish company, I’ve immatured again. This blog is only really funny if you are Korean or if you have studied Korean a bit. It also may qualify as funny if you are…
Why the Crapital Letters?
So there I am typing an email to someone who sits somewhere between a friend, an acquaintance and a business partner. I had begun the email typing very quickly, not even taking the time to hit the shift key to capitalize his name. At the end of the email, as is customary, I nailed the shift key and typed my…
