well, i’ll start off the new year with an interesting piece of trivia, namely, how to pronounce kuro5hin:
slight misread, I think– kuro5hin is *NOT* actually at all japanese-derived. It sounds kinda japanese, and it even potentially could be meaningful in japanese, but it’s origin was just a dumb phonetically-spelled pun on my name (rusty == rust == corrosion == kuro5hin). And I bet I have had less exposure to Japanese culture than you. I grew up in southeastern Massachusetts. Not exactly a hotbed of Asian activity. Anyway, it’s pronounced “corrosion”, but it’s best reached by bookmark. :-)
i haven’t actually read kuro5hin regularly for a way long time, but had a conversation with someone the other night and having only ever typed the word i realized i needed to do some digging in case this little bit of trivia ever popped up again.
