Mesdames, Messieurs, bon soir.

Me and the comsic backround microwave radiation I’m Okuno Zankoku, and I’m a linguist, a computer scientist, a programmer, a musician, a physicist and a philosopher.

That said, I still have thoughts and opinions, of which many are gleaned from others, and I get tired of keeping them all for myself. The time has come for me to say “Here is my website,” and actually have it be there. Well, you’ve found it.
