Wow, flights to and from Canada are really cheap recently, reminiscent of a couple of “lost decades” ago

We are getting Nuro in 2 weeks. It is theoretically 2GB, I look forward to testing it and will report back if it isn’t too late for you. But as Daniel notes, neighbourhood matters.

I am still on http://Mastodon.social, and would like to move somewhere else, but I haven’t found a server that really draws me in yet. I would ideally like to join where a lot of the foreign community in Japan is at. Not sure where that is yet (except still on Twitter!)

Really looking forward to reading this and having it as a framework to understand this city better. We are right down close to Karasuma and Gojo where there are a million tiny 町 so I am looking forward to learning more.

Kyoto: An Urban History of Japan’s Premodern Capital by @matthew_stavros
Been on my list for a while, so as soon as I found out we were relocating back to Kyoto I ordered it so I can read and visit some of the locations IRL. 🙌

Lovely panel! Really enjoyed listening and reliving the film.
I watched with my 12yo. I was getting all the 90s references & she was getting all the embarrassing mom moments! 🤣 Great fun had by all!! And such a good followup to Bao, my fav Pixar of all time.

To enter Japan from Canada they require the expensive ones — about ¥22,000. Travel to the US is a basic one for about $100

It’s true, as long as you are coming back from Non-designated country/region: https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/covid-19/bordercontrol.html (see section 6)
I came through last Fri and was given a pass on QT. My kids too, even tho they only have 2 shots (which is the max for them in Canada)

#NowReading2022 Continuing on my streak of reading about anarchism and also following up on David Graeber, I just finished “The Democracy Project: A History, a Crisis, a Movement” where you can see the threads of so many of his other books.

For political economy of tech, Morozov is a good place to start. “To Save Everything, Click here” captures a lot of hubris.
Shannon Vallor is one of my go-to’s for tech ethics. I have used her work on virtue ethics in my CompSci class before: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31826505

So, not a TON of volume. But I am thinking some real event planner people out there must have some good tips before I start Trial&Erroring in AirTable 😅

Replying to @benjaminchait
We have 17 people who attend ~20 conferences a year, in all possible permutations. Sometimes as speakers, sometimes as attendees. We pay for some, sometimes it is (partially) covered. I am trying to figure out:
- how much does this cost over a year?
- where is everyone when?

I am trying to do some long term planning for events and event management, and just having a bunch of flat notes is holding me back

Professional event manager question: for your company/school, how do you keep track of who is going to what conferences? (with associated metadata of date, deadlines, costs, etc) I feel like there has got to be a better way than me making an Airtable for this.

We flew in an 787 3x3x3 and it was maybe 80% full? Most people were transiting to Philippines and Malaysia, but quite a few got off in Japan.

Lots more people this time compared to last month when we came. Took 2h15m after deplaning to get out. Last time was 2h05m. Much better than the 5-6 hour horror stories!

Some good advice here. I am thinking about revising my whole social setup to leverage the Fediverse more — crosspost to cloud and big services, but have my home bases decentralized. https://twitter.com/bmann/status/1519417554103857153
