So, I've noticed that Twitter has had an auto translate thing for a while now. You'll see a post from someone with an all kanji name but the text is in english. Then under their name is a little note that says "Translated from Japanese."...

Getting older I feel I understand my Dad more. He never did care what others thought or trending pop culture or drama in society. He focused on his family, bills and being a good person. As the years pass me, I've seen this world go...

As I mentioned, I signed back into Todoist this week to kick the tires. The next day, I got this email: I knew I’d dabbled on and off over the years, but 19 years ago? Is that even possible?? Wikipedia says Todoist was created in 2007 as...
I once said, in a public argument about a book that advocated for divorce, that if I found my wife reading it we would have a conversation about it. My wife is a surgeon and the family breadwinner; the idea that I could control her is...

First half of the year has passed, only half of the year left. 2026 is a difficult year for me so far. At the end of 2025, I wished for more rest this year. I didn’t do that yet. I pushed harder in different ways and I just can’t keep...

Books and some interesting pages I read in June 2026 This month I decided to not finish a book after reading the first 100 pages, so I just finished a single book. The warm weather and outdoor activities resulted in less screen time, but...

Screen compulsion is a widespread problem — anyone who says they don’t have it just hasn’t realized it yet. Is ditching the screen while keeping the tech apparatus connected to the internet a possible way out? I’ve been thinking about...
Web directories eh? Now that SEO spammers have stopped spamming them, they’re becoming cool again, and I was impressed with Warp Point: a web directory dedicated to one of my favourite subjects: video games. I particularly like that...
Last weekend, I went to the exhibition "The Creative Origins of Mamoru Hosoda" that's currently being held at Creative Museum Tokyo (until August 31st). The price was a bit high for my tastes at ¥2,500, but I was going with a friend and...

Today's Record High is a website I created that tracks the record highs and lows for major weather stations and cities across the United States.
Though I am taking it slow, there is something about this writing that is so immersive. Once I start a sentence I cannot stop reading. Every word feels so beautifully crafted and thought of. It only makes me aspire to write just as well.
Since late last year I have been slowly (very slowly) removing digital artefacts from a few places in my life. It partly goes hand in hand with the death plan I’m building —more on that later— and partly just a reaction to my loathing of...
