One of the books I've translated is free on Amazon for the next three days. You can pick it up and tell me how much I messed up on it right now! 
Not an April Fool's post.
So, it's been two years since my last update here. That's... a long time. This post is written for all the people whom I met here and who drop by every once in a while to see if I've been around, as well as for those who came across something I wrote and then wondered about me. I never liked the sort of mystery where an author I enjoyed vanished with absolutely no trace, and this is my attempt to not inflict that particular frustration upon others.
As I was saying back in 2016, in 2014 I became a freelance translator for one of the huge video game companies. That particular video game is maybe a bit smaller than it used to be (at least, as f

Yo, Finland! How's your handwriting?
Finland, I have something to ask you: will you still be teaching kids handwriting? Because some of the world says you aren't. Hell, you've even made the news in Romania!
I've seen a number of people say you're only ditching cursive handwriting, so you'll be teaching your kids to write each letter separately instead of joining them up in a flowing script, but others are going on and on about how innovative it is of you to get rid of all that pen and ink business and jump straight to keyboards.
