There are some really good “tester” packs that have a lot of different smells to experiment with. Lots of fun.

From Kyoto I take 線香 and yatsuhashi (both 生 and dry) because they are thin and easy to pack; anything お尻探偵 for little kids; and I will take at least one pack of squid jerky for the fun factor.

😁 Let me complicate this further: My MA is actually in “War Studies” from the Royal Military College. It is a mix of History+IR… I did a constructivist analysis of risk of kinetic conflict between Japan and China over energy resources. So I come down more on the IR side.

Very curious about this one. “Procedure” and “theory” are different, but “theory of procedure” can change? (I am not a historian)

Went up Ondake mountain to the “Man Shrine” to consult with Sarutahiko, the diety of open roads/guidance. Dot a GOLD 金 omikuji with a very good fortune! We climbed up the observation deck and got a beautiful view. Twas so windy I thought we’d be blown off! 1/4

Wayyy back in the day I used Lloyd’s and it had a flat 3000 yen fee. Transfer took 3 days but it was cheap! They aren’t around anymore, but it seems like Wise is common. Thanks!

My 12yo daughter is in 💖LOVE💞 with your dog. I will warn you if we ever go to Tokyo so you can be sure to keep an extra close eye on Edgar to keep him safe from pre-teen dog snatchers! 😅

Have you read “Boom and Bust” by Quinn and Turner? It was highly recommended to me. Wonder how it compares to Sakuragawa

I really wanted to get something close to the shore, but I need a taller tripod. Maybe next time!

I often work up here in my car with my iPad, overlooking this view. This time I brought my GoPro and set it up to record. It is right beside a road so you will hear the sounds of cars passing occasionally. You might hear my car door as I occasionally check on the camera. Enjoy!

Kuyoshihama is in Ashibe town, on the upper east side of Iki. The town has about 7000 people. It has a port just to the west of the the beach, so you can see the ferries and jetfoils come in.

A while back I talked to @DavidinSetouchi about having everyone post a few minutes of their local ocean view— something you can put on to relax or in the bg while working. Here is 40m of my local beach 🏖️ on #ikijima #壱岐 for you to enjoy in HiRes here: https://youtu.be/z-uArWhpho0

Yep. Aliases, fast search, notes… all the basic stuff. Been a longtime user, basically since the Snowden revelations when I tried to be more conscious about my web product choices. (I quit FB in 2010 due to the crazy sh!t they were pulling around FHTML and standards back then)

Just one☝️. For when I have to interact with Docs or other Google properties, safely fire-walled away from all my other web stuff. I use Fastmail for email, calendaring, etc. Also, I have 0 Facebook accounts.

Envious. We made the choice to educate our kids in Canada, so we will likely be there until they are out of the house. I don’t have a fancy oil exec job where I can pay for international school in Singapore or something like that 😅 But this year in Japan has given them a lot.

I have been away since 2010 and have many complex feelings about the “lost decade” now that I am back. Unfortunately this is only temporary for us, but I will definitely be back in the future.

I moved to YVR from Nagoya to do startup stuff in 2010. I had a podcast interviewing local startup ppl. Pretty sure I saw you at one of the many events. Definitely saw your work with HS. Now we are both in Japan! Small world. Thx for connecting. 🤝

Usually undokai is done in the fall so it is a lot more windy and rainy. It was rescheduled so as not to clash with fire brigade competition, which is ANOTHER big deal here on the island. Those guys are local heroes!

Because of corona things are scaled down. It’s only half day, the main event (lunch) is cancelled, and no out of town guests.

It is 運動会 Sports Day! 7am and everyone is at the school setting up tents, stringing flags, drawing lines. Perfect day with no clouds and very little wind. It’s a big day for the town: EVERYBODY comes to this thing!
