"We will be free when it ends..."

It's been eight years since the 東日本大震災 (Higashi Nihon Daishinsai, "The Tōhoku Earthquake"), and Asahi TV released a webpage with cameras showing current and 2011 footage from the same locations. The website is in English, if you want to see the progress they've made.

I wrote about the daishinsai in 2017, specifically about an ad that appeared in Ginza, and today I went back and cleaned up the translation.

The time change hit me pretty hard. I suffered on both ends--I went to bed an hour late and woke up an hour early. I'm okay right now, but if it happens again I'll be a mess tomorrow. At least I got some good coding practice done last night, and more translation on Wild Man Blues done on Saturday.

My iPad started acting up this morning. I'm really hoping it's a temporary fluke caused by an app update, since I keep all my apps up to date, but the analytics section suggests it's kernel panic, which could be a sign of hardware failure. It's been fine since this morning, and if it acts up again I'll try restoring from backup, and if that fails...well, there's plenty of Apple stores in Chicago.

Hope everyone had a good weekend and isn't wiped out by the time change!
