Now this… this is ‘focused’ – a blog written in Klingon. As far as I can tell, the post contents look pretty standard – Harry Potter, vanity goggling… Just in Klingon. Fascinating. [via Biz Stone]

Yup. That’s Capt. Krankor’s blog. The documentary that was filmed at last year’s qep’a’ (i.e. the KLI’s version of JadeCon ) was screened at Cannes – which is what the top post is about. (I haven’t seen it yet, so I’m not sure if I made it into the final edit or not.)
And before ya ask – I’d need my dictionary & a couple hours before I could read the site. ;-)

Nope, it’s my blog. The picture on the front page at the moment is Krankor.
The declared subject of the blog is “this language [i.e. Klingon] and other languages.”
I’m looking at linguistics and language, with occasional forays into anything I feel like, because only a few dozen people can read it anyway.

– a linguistic error (substituting the syllable or word meaning “your” for “my”) that I made in three languages, including my native tongue

– Parseltongue, a snake language created for Harry Potter
And r’Hul – you are DEFINITELY in the film.
