I'm Shamino and this is my blog. I write about whatever I like. Sometimes you'll agree, sometimes you'll think I'm insane, but that's part of the fun. Feel free to comment on what I write, but keep it civil. Spam will be deleted.
Some people have asked why I chose the name "Shamino." Shamino is a character from the Ultima series of computer games. In the game, Shamino is a ranger aligned with the attribute of spirituality.
Back in high school, I spent a lot of time playing Ultima IV. In college, I chose to call myself "Shamino" on BBS's, and have been using the name ever since.
It should be noted that I am not the only person on the internet that uses this name. If you see postings elsewhere by someone named "Shamino", it isn't necessarily me.

Wow, their Hebrew sounds remarkably like Japanese.
A couple of videos over, they show how to remove potato skins from boiled potatoes. They cut around the circumference of the potato before boiling it, then put it in ice water for 10 seconds afterwards, and then pull the skin off easily from both ends. As a guy who mashes a lot of potatoes, I've got to say, this is genius!
Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't browsed through the related videos. This one is cool enough that it needs its own post...
