上次认真花钱逛博物馆还是上次了。此行因为身体抱恙，特地安排了不一样的博物馆行程。出发之前认真补课，回来以后意犹未尽。顺便，手握 Fuji GFX100RF ，让高像素把临场的瞬间记录下来，以供日后（比如此时）回味。 这次出行，定下要去的博物馆自然不难—— MoMA 和 The Met 肯定在列，尤其是因为 Raphael: Sublime Poetry 特展要在月底结束。做了点功课后，意外发现这个级别的特展的确远不只是“来都来了”的打卡程度。另外在 AI 的规划下，我还顺便拜访了 MoMA PS1 和 ICP 。 出发前，真诚感谢互联网上的各位 up 主，尤其是 “顾爷” 幽默风趣、深入浅出的云游博物馆系列，让我快速 ramp up 了这两个博物馆。另外也要感谢犬生活的 《大都会拉斐尔世纪特展：从天才画家到超级经理人的一生》 ，它像一部超长语音导览，为我一幅画接一幅画地讲解了这次的…
It was such a good way to reconnect with an old Seattle-era friend in New York: watching Crazy Thunder Road with a few "strangers," in a setting where I probably would never have watched this film otherwise. It also gave me an excuse to think about the movie itself and to let some random thoughts spill out along the way. 能用 这样一种特别的方式 和曾经的虾头旧友在纽约重逢——与几个“陌生人”看一部“如果没有这个机缘可能永远不会看”的电影 《狂雷街区》…
书接 上回 。 当晚摇到本地领路人，一下子心情高涨，睡意全无，开始刷起了抖音小红书来抱佛脚——一晚上的学习让我大致领悟到了“排水渠”，“大小狼王”等“著名打卡点”。可惜只看视频既不过瘾，也一头雾水。明明昨天跟着地图指引该去的都去了，这些奇奇怪怪的名字到底是都在哪？好在入夜开始下雪，窗外的静谧慢慢透进来，我满怀兴奋，沉沉睡去。 一觉醒来，精神抖擞。可可托海市内的雪虽然下的不够厚，但即使这薄薄如纱一层，也是山上好雪的好兆头。果然，坐上大巴以后便堵在上山路上，等铲雪车把路给清出来。到了雪场接上头搭上线，当地小哥就带我们钻入雪场灰色地带：滑向隔离网，身子向后一倒，把网给压平，再一翻身，就进入了“野雪天堂”。 我们先来了两趟排水渠——果然是一个一滑到底的“天然”U槽，瞬间让我回想起 stevens pass 的一条track和 whistler…
EN 中 前言： 这篇文章的大部分内容其实写于一个月前，只是身处这轮 AI 大跃进里，时间和空间都在不断被压缩，每天都有新的内容出现，每天都有新的事件发生，每天都有所谓的“AI moment”。现在回看这篇文章，许多当时（仅仅过去一个多月）还让我觉得惊叹或诧异的东西，已经迅速变得稀松平常。但正如老钱在 “面基” 这栏播客节目中所说的一样，“这个过程中的一切感受启发和情绪都值得被记录”。 Preface: Most of this post was actually written about a month ago. But inside this current AI acceleration, time and space keep compressing: every day brings new content, new events, and another so-called…
I’ve been hacking on a small site at news.cheng.st — a daily Hacker News digest I spun up on my new Mac mini with my claw 🦀. I grabbed the machine from B&H Photo at a discount before the OpenClaw hype kicked in. The same model sold out a few days later, and the discount was gone. I quickly spun up my claw daemon. It started as “summarize today’s hot threads,” but I’m not satisfied with that:…
因各路好友的口口相传而种草多时的新疆滑雪之旅，在2025年末终得成行。自从北美学成单板技能多年以来，终于得以第一次回国耍帅，汇报演出，着实激动。上海飞阿勒泰的航班与西雅图飞纽约航班一样，东西跨越一整个国家，由一角直达另一隅。出发当天，未曾想还得到航司的特别关怀，获全机组祝福外加蛋糕一份，轻松收买了我的心。 飞行快落地时窗外的景色，下机一瞬间的干冷的空气，恍惚间把我拉向盐湖城，或是丹佛。直到看到阿勒泰机场这富有中式交通枢纽特色的红色大字，才把我拉回现实。从小在江浙长大的我，虽然国内也走走跑跑去过不少地方，但都局限于沿海或中南，都未曾去过东北，这还是我第一次在中国见到此番雪景。…

2025, my third zodiac cycle year, has been a tough one. Even though New Year’s Day is behind, the Year of the Snake hasn’t ended yet on the Chinese calendar. I have to keep going. 圣诞节前回到杭州，专程挤入了个 跑山(trail running) 活动，打卡久闻大名的 西湖 跑山线路——标毅线。因为近两年开始跑山，偶然间惊喜的发现原来家乡杭州还有这样的线路，甚至吸引外地朋友专程前来打卡。虽然从小在杭州长大，这条线上好多地方却还从未听说，总觉愧疚。于是做了些功课，这条线全长大概24公里，累计爬升1500米，网上有各种完线、破五、破四、甚至破三的帖子晒出来。我回去翻了翻最近几次西雅图本地的 西虎三(West…
第一次踏上香港，却也浮光掠影。当天匆匆而来，次日匆匆而去。随手翻过的一日游攻略，皆是大同小异，索性不再细看。借口未来还有机会，这次不妨走马观花，权当是假期最后一天画上的句点，逛吃逛吃为搬砖重新做好心理建设。…
Day 2: The Confluence Out And Back Our second day began early. Though not quite an alpine start. The sun had already risen when we departed. We left most of our gear behind at the campsite and lightened our load for this 16-mile round trip to the Confluence, where Havasu Creek meets the Colorado River. With some online pictures spoiling ahead, I was expecting to see the green belt merging into the…
I had heard how difficult it was to get a camping permit for Havasupai, so when a friend invited me to join him after someone in their group dropped out, I immediately jumped at the chance! Thanks to his last-minute invitation, I was able to make this long-dreamed trip happen. Havasu Falls The entire adventure was divided into three segments, and hence three days: the hike from the Havasupai…
There were so many archived photos and words in my temp folder, a work in progress. Yet, I decided to post this short one just to share some photos taken during the trip and mark the start of the year 2025. [Mount Shuksan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Shuksan) was definitely on my list, though I never thought I’d head there so early in mid-January. This January was [extraordinarily…
The recently concluded Asian trip brought back all my childhood memories of the summer heat: the extreme temperatures, the humid air, and the cloudless sky with sunlight beaming directly down. Having lived in Seattle for 10 years, I had almost forgotten what my childhood summers were like and how I managed to endure them for 18 years! The moment I stepped off the plane at KIX , I immediately felt…
Driving east from Seattle, you’ll spot giant turbines standing proudly on the ridges of the Cascades, slowly rotating and facing you. We are often captivated by these monumental human creations—skyscrapers, cruise ships, airplanes. They are designed not only for utility but also to inspire awe. Beyond the natural beauty, central Washington boasts a range of destinations worth visiting. Sadly, [the…

Here is Prusik Peak , reflected in Gnome Tarn during golden October. Four years later, I set off again towards [The Enchantments](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Enchantments). After living in Seattle for 10 years, I've explored so many places around here that I dare to call it my adopted hometown, and yet, after my first visit to The Enchantments, I can’t help but agree that it’s the crown…
The last time I passed through this area was almost ten years ago during my Route 66 road trip from Los Angeles to Chicago. Back then, I drove through Arizona so quickly that only the desert and cacti left me with some vague impressions as I passed through the city of Flagstaff. Thanks to my friend’s good fortune, I had the chance to fly to Phoenix for the first time and venture north to explore…
This year, SR 20 the North Cascades Highway opened unusually early due to the increasingly warm weather. I had been planning this scenic cycling trip for years but was concerned about the road conditions and whether they would be suitable for my road bike. This time, I borrowed a gravel bike from a friend and finally made the trip! The trailhead felt like a party. The parking lot was packed, and…
This year’s severe snow conditions have closed off many backcountry destinations. Meanwhile, Highway SR 20 opened on one of its historically earliest dates. After a much shorter resort season, I enjoyed a very busy weekend. According to my Google Maps notes, it seems that I had been to Hidden Lake Peak and the lookout a long time ago, but I can’t remember any details. The length and elevation gain…
