The cherry trees are out in blossom and lots of people are enjoying "hanami" (花見) parties all over Japan right now. In many places the petals are already falling like spring snow, but that won't

Just to be clear, whatever you might be thinking, "fuku fuku" (ふくふく) is a Japanese onomatopoeic expression meaning something like "soft and plump," or "well fed," and is

Having not done a single dead hang for about a year, this month I've done four so far... Deadhang 1 = 60+ seconds: Deadhang 2 = +/-74 seconds - nice progress, but no video. Deadhang 3 = 40 seconds 😔 -

Yesterday, I found myself just a stone's throw away from an old haunt of mine back in the day - Second House okonomiyaki restaraurant in Furue (古江 - "Old Inlet") on the western outskirts of Hiroshima

Here's a video I recorded a couple of days ago of me playing two simple word games that let you earn a little crypto while having fun. If you enjoy puzzles like Wordle, these will feel very familiar. The

It was a cloudy old day, and I found myself in a park with time to spare before my annual tax appointment. Rather than sit scrolling on my phone, I decided to revisit one of my small personal challenges:

I received an email from Satsman earlier this week telling me that my login streak hit the 60-day mark. Yes, I have logged in every single day for the past 60 days and completed the three daily missions

As this is the Chinese New Year it seems an opportune moment to post some mahjong photos! Mahjong began in China and spread to Japan, which is where I learnt to play. There are some differences between

It does snow sometimes in winter in Hiroshima city, but the snow seldom lays and quickly melts away when the sun comes out. When it does lay, it seldom gets more than an inch deep, so today was really

Okay, so I wanted to see if I could send Bitcoin satoshis from my Satsman.com account directly into my Hive ecosystem using the V4V Lightning wallet, which runs on the Hive blockchain. Good news: it works!

Today I want to address an important question that comes up from people using Satsman in the United States. The Lightning wallet options shown on the Satsman withdrawal page are Blink and Wallet of Satoshi.

Yesterday I shared a video showing my first withdrawal request from Satsman.com, where I initiated a withdrawal of 12,668 satoshis to my Lightning wallet. Today I can confirm that the withdrawal was completed

Today I recorded a quick live test of my first ever attempt to withdraw Bitcoin from my Satsman account using the Lightning Network. When I logged in, my account showed a total balance of 43,000 satoshis,

Cheers folks. I am celebrating a small milestone today. My Satsman army is now 35 soldiers strong. Seventeen of those are personal recruits and I have five more who are still in the process of getting

It’s January 28th, 2026, and I’ve now been using Satsman.com for just over a month. I upgraded to the one-year premium membership about three and a half weeks ago, so this feels like a good time to share

From time to time, I receive emails from subscribers asking if I’ll “pay it forward” and cover their first month in a subscription-based affiliate program. Most recently, this question came up in relation

I’ve been testing a new Bitcoin earning platform called Satsman, and after spending some time inside it, I made this video walkthrough to show how it works and why I think it’s worth a look: Satsman is

For a long time, Japanese mahjong was a regular part of my life in Hiroshima. Back in the day, I played a lot of mahjong in the old-style mahjong parlors (many of which have disappeared in the post-bubble

I was walking back to my hotel in Gero Onsen when I passed a vending machine selling frozen raw beef and stopped to take a photo. Okay, so Japan isn’t the only place where meat is sold from vending machines.
