A still of the final device Over the course of our labs of my Microelectronics II course, everyone was tasked to construct a device that measures pulse rate using a method called photoplethysmography (PPG) in groups of two. Up until now, most of my labs were largely independent of one each other in their […]

The product inside of a mock cup holder Over the summer, I took a course called ENGR 407 – Inclusive Design. The course is based off of the Inclusive Design principles developed by Microsoft. One of the main objectives of the course was to create a product for an individual with a spinal cord

此處に書くは蓋󠄂し久しき哉。今茲󠄂學業の怱怱なれども之を進むるに甚だし有意義にして樂し。偖今夏何をかせるに答へは幾󠄄つあり。其最初は電氣回路の基本之を溫故知新をす。所要時間は數週󠄃閒󠄃なりき。爾後微分積分と線形代數學との溫習󠄃之を行ふ。所要時間は數箇月󠄃なりき（時閒󠄃の殆どは微分積分にあり）。 是以外は參箇課程󠄃、卽ち法律と倫理、包容性設計、而して工學領導なり。約󠄃說するに此課程󠄃等の余に含蓄󠄂のある內容を與へ（單位も言はずもがな）、而して余の好果を示したり。法律と倫理の內容は蠟を嚼(か)むが如くが、此智識󠄂の至極重要󠄃なるをば否定せず。包容性設計の課程󠄃は奇しくも數學を使はずしてチームの重要性を余をして改めて理解せしめたりき。工學領導の主󠄃要󠄃なる作業は執筆にして一切數字を目擊せざりき。然し作業量は尠からず（此課程󠄃に於いて讀書量多大なりき）。 以上。

日󠄂本語の文󠄃體は數少からず。其內如何でか今世こそ殆使󠄃はざる文󠄃語體にて起󠄃筆せむかと。我却りて讀者に問はむ：如何でか高校に折角敎へられたる古文󠄃を活用せぬかと。 文󠄃語體（普通󠄃文󠄃とも稱せらる）の作文󠄃は現代に於て氣息奄々として甚だ見苦し。剩へ今人の多きは戰前󠄃の口語體の書を讀めば多大なる註釋なくずば解すること能はじ。 無論、文󠄃語體は猶󠄅俳句等の分󠄃野にて謂はゞ藝󠄂術󠄃品（或は骨董󠄂品）として存續せるが、疇昔と比較せば蛻の殼に過󠄃ぎず。我言ふに此事情極めて遺󠄃憾なれば自ら文󠄃語體、而して口語體を兩方以て禿筆を呵さむとするなり。幸ひ「文󠄃語の苑󠄃」といふ協會は今も猶󠄅あれば文󠄃語體の作文󠄃に關心ある好學の士あるめり。若󠄃し日󠄂本に住まば此協會と國語問題協議會と共に入會せむと欲す。
All images from Wikipedia “Hanayama Dam” Another dam project, this time on the Hanayama Dam in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. This project is probably the longest article I have translated so far and had a few challenges, notably finding appropriate English terms, that had to be surmounted.

本論に這入る前󠄃に、豫め明󠄃記せざるべからざる留意點あり： １）文󠄃語體にせよ、口語體にせよ、本サイトの表記は原則として歷史󠄃的󠄃假名遣󠄃と正字（卽ち舊󠄂字體）を以て書くものとす。理由は諸〻なれど極論せば此書き方を好むなり。 ２）文󠄃語體にて文󠄃を作るは慣れずして拙作に於て誤󠄄謬の恐󠄃れあり。然樣御承知被下度候。 閑話休題、焉んぞ日󠄂本語、況んや文󠄃語體にて此論を書かむや。抑〻何ゆゑ日󠄂本語をば勉强したるか。何となれば日󠄂本語の稟質の、特立して他言語の及び得ざる美點を嗟歎せざるべからざればなり。言ふなれば日󠄂本語の風流なる響󠄊き、其言語に纏る深邃なる文󠄃化󠄃、而して其字（詰り漢字と假名）の甘美なる調󠄃和を元來痛感しつつ、如何でか我心を醺醉して魅了せざるや。無論勉强の權󠄂輿は專󠄂ら現代日󠄂本語なれども、然る後古文󠄃書（卽ち普通󠄃文󠄃と稱せらるゝもの）を閱讀し始め、竟に文󠄃語體の作文󠄃に食指が動ければ此文󠄃章を書かむとせり。

All images from Wikipedia “Futai Dam” Another day another dam. Wait, that’s not how the saying goes. In any case, it seems I like doing dams as well as pottery articles! We’ll see how the trend goes from here, but this time sees me doing a volunteer Wikipedia article about Futai Dam in Niigata Prefecture,

Image from Kuribayashi While I never anticipated translating another article about pottery so soon, here I am. This article is about Akogi ware (阿漕焼 Akogi-yaki), a type of pottery near Mie, Japan. While not having as long of a history as my previous article on Akazu ware, the project was still very enjoyable to do.
