Documents

Translations

I have translated a number of documents (mostly songs) from Japanese to English. I present them in English and Romaji, but not Japanese because I believe that JASRAC searches for copyright infringements on the internet by looking for copyrighted Japanese lyrics. They threatened me once in the past, but I haven't heard from them since I removed the Japanese lyrics.

Aiko	Do As Infinity	Every Little Thing
Ayumi Hamasaki	The Brilliant Green	Shiina Ringo
Ohta Hiromi	SAYAKA

It's widely accepted that unless you're truly bilingual or are some sort of super-genius, it's a bad idea to translate from your native tongue to something else. However, when I'm really bored, I sometimes translate songs I like from English to Japanese.

Elton John

Queen

Billy Joel

Writing

Here is a random assortment of stuff that's fallen out of my brain. Choke it all down, if you can.

Physics

As a physicist-in-training, I'm sometimes called upon to answer questions for others who aren't as technically-inclined. Here I showcase my answers to those random questions, as well as some other work I've put together. All of these writeups were done in LaTeX.

Emily's problem	Deriving moments of inertia
