    The Kit Is It! (Kangaeroo Maillot Rouge: Where The Bunny Means Money)

    Kangaeroo has had cycling kit merchandise for almost a decade, albeit with only a single customer. Cycling is an expensive hobby with the initial outlay on a bike combined with constant spending for maintenance and the drain of treating the almost terminal affliction of upgraditis. Never making a hefty wage and plagued with a dad bod from the age of 6 onward, I’ve never been keen on forking out the huge sums that brand-name manufacturers demand (and get) for their Lycra lineups. Necessity being the mother of invention, I soon found out that I could get customized cycling wear not only at a fraction of the price the real makers…

  • オズのアホ使い

    　考えRooの母国であるオーストラリアでは、国名を省略して「オズ」と呼ぶことがある。 　偶然に、考えるRooの生き方は馬鹿な言動が中心となっていた。 　つきましては、「オズのアホ使い」と呼ばれても全然問題ないと思う。 　具体的なことを言えないが、分かる人は分かる。いくらでも成功する機会が与えられ、裕福になれてもおかしくない過去があった。 　しかし、貧乏で終わって、キャリアも何もならなかったというかキャリア事態はなかったというほど達成感がない。しょうがない。 　それはそれでも変えられない。このもんだ。それでも十分。というか、これで満足しています。「オズのアホ使い」らしい生き方をして、最後までもそうだろう。 　結局、考えRooはもう少し考えるべきだったかもしれない。

What the aim intended to accomplish remains unknown. At some point, the blog became an area to examine lesser-known aspects of the Japan-Australia relationship. For the first five years of its existence, Kangaeroo.com was updated almost daily. It’s initial aim was not accomplished because I couldn’t get enough people to read it. Same goes for its subsequent purpose, I guess. That probably goes some way to explaining why updates have been sporadic at best over the past several years. But I am…

  • Self-Portraits

    Kangaeroo was once an almost ubiquitous presence on the Internet. That was, of course, back in the days before the likes of Facebook, Twitter and other social media dominated online viewing. Even blogs were in their infancy and Google still provided results for terms that people searched for and not for the highest payers. But that all changed. Decades have passed since Kangaeroo posted a portrait online. But that has changed with this post. These are photos of Kangaeroo now. Definitely wasn’t worth waiting for! Not that I think anybody actually waited….
