It was my very first visit to the Dutch city of Nijmegen, which is located near the German border.
The reason for my going there was a joint aikido seminar led by three senseis:
So I was brave enough to not get scared off by storm Ciara (but nonetheless happy to be back home before dark).
About a month ago we’ve bought a peculiar gadget, the pocket thermal printer PeriPage A6.
Quite a bit of thermal paper has been spent since so I think I can share my experiences about the device.

It’s Friday again, which means—another gulp of exotic music in the eleventh edition of Musicellaneous!
This time I’m going to sidestep the tradition of reviewing instrumental djent stuff. Our guests today are the cinematic progressive metal band (in their own words) Ostura from Lebanon.
