A few things as long as they’re still fresh in my mind: Labubus are still everywhere in Bangkok. It felt like every mall had a Pop Mart experience and there were long queues in front of all of them. The Peak Design travel backpack is...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Fri 01/02/2026 - Azelf RNG for Friday's entry and we were greeted by one of the heralds of Arceus themselves. I can't help that from a design standpoint it reeks of "We...
Going back to August 2020, we traditionally publish a month-end review. I fell a little bit behind in late 2025 for reasons detailed in my review of the months- that -were in September and October, which I published on New Year’s Day,...

Simon Willison’s third annual review of the AI space, for last year. I read someone saying somewhere that Willison has become expert in AI and LLM since ChatGPT arrived in late 2022. He’s not the only one (obviously), but in late 2022...
In the last few months, various prominent figures in big tech have claimed that voice is the user interface of the future. It’s an interesting revival of voice interaction, which already fell flat on its face in the late 2010s during the...
I saw this first in Alterick's blog, then followed it all the way to this github. I've been feeling a bit crappy and disconnected from the world, so might as well engage in something external. 1. What did you do this year that you’d...
New Year’s concerts are everything a classical music concert isn’t. They’re casual and relaxed, but most of all, they’re disorderly and noisy. I hate it, but i love it. How can you not be amused by those poor parents that felt obliged to...
Check out As in guillotine... for more. Two years ago, I started formally tracking what I read in a monthly post, originally called Book Notes until I quickly remembered that books aren’t the only media I enjoy, and renamed them Media...
Most strong emotions, such as fear, are caused by uncertainty and the unknown. Once trained, managing these emotions becomes simple (not easy). Training takes effort and time. Yet the steady one always heads to the chaos, knowing what to...
I celebrated the new year by having covid and coughing a lot. It caused us to cancel a lot of plans with friends and family and cut holiday travel short. 2025 was good to me, though. I married my wonderful partner of 10 years in June....
Interesting to see this in the notes for the FT’s News Briefing podcast. Is 2026 the year where we start to see messages like this everywhere?

I've had a good morning so far. I finally figured out a good way to get morning and evening prayers back into my routine. I was originally reading prayers out of an Orthodox prayer book that I got when I visited a local parish. Reading...
I was skimming Hacker News comments the other day and saw this: I used to be totally into productivity hacks and being on top of things, goal setting, habit tracking, everything. I stopped when I realized I could just... Not, and still...
The Chinese pronoun 他 (tā) (U+4ED6) was originally a gender-neutral, third-person pronoun. Over a century ago, Chinese linguist 劉 (ㄌㄧㄡˊ)半 (ㄅㄢˋ)農 (ㄋㄨㄥˊ)／刘半农 (Liú Bànnóng) created a female third-person pronoun, the character 她 (tā)...

The other day I took apart an old smoke detector. I looked at it for a bit until I thought I'd figured out how it works, and then I thought, hey, why not write a quick blog post about it, maybe someone else will find it interesting, too....

A photo from a year ago. It's been cold in Kyoto these days. I ran across this image of a shrine at Tenryu-ji temple, and I felt it appropriate to the season. 一年前の写真だ。 このところ京都は寒い。天龍寺の境内にある神社を写したこの写真を見返したら、今の季節にぴったりだと思った。

I've tried. It's always bad. I've spent days letting dough proof in the fridge. I've used fancy 00 flour. The crust is always tough, dense, and limp. It ends up dehydrated more than baked. No light chewiness or dark crust. It stays light...

At the beginning of 2025, I set an intention for my year: Reading A Lot, But Differently. Now that the year has ended, I want to assess how I did. I certainly accomplished the first part of it — I read 121 books last year, the most since...

Hoy está siendo un día bastante lento, no os voy a mentir. Un dramingo de libro. Estoy medio acatarrado y eso hace que me esté tomando las cosas con calma. No está mal tampoco. El día 7 supongo que ya volveremos a la realidad más real....
29th December - 4th January In a quirk of calendular mathematics, this is simultaneously week 1 of 2026 and week 53 of 2025. I celebrated New Year's Eve with a ceilidh, a beer, and a takeaway with my family. The ceilidh was amazing; so...
