I left Japan!

Never thought the time would come, but after 14 years, it has! To make a long story short, I need to be with my family and Japan might not be the ideal place to retire. It s not like I ll never go back, though. On the way across the globe, I purposefully avoided going through the [ ]

Path to self hosting de-Googling

Sure, I wasn t able to stick to Linux. However, that doesn t mean I won t do whatever else I can to disengage with Microsoft/Windows. It s a similar issue with Google. I m now on the de-Google train despite owning a Pixel phone. The more these companies insist on being evil, even going so far as to flaunt it [ ]

I’ve joined the Fujifilm cult

In preparation of a big change coming (not a baby), I ve made the near devastating financial decision to purchase a mirrorless camera. One thing that stands out in my memory from when I was a child was how my dad always had nice cameras and would use them quite a bit. Because of that, we [ ]

A relatively okay summer

Very abrupt intro to this post, but my sisters sent a few pictures of our cat looking especially silly and I couldn t help but send or show them to everyone. Recently I experienced another trip around the sun and I am not not filled with dread at the thought of eventually getting to 40. How [ ]

I tried Linux Mint…

In my last post, I mentioned switching from Windows 11 to Linux Mint. This was around a month ago, using up a Friday night and Saturday doing a little troubleshooting.

New music that captured my attention

Multitasking is something I usually have to do while I work, but when I m in the office I can t really have a YouTube video playing in a corner of my screen Instead, I just listen to music. Spotify and reddit have become tools for me to find new music. Without those, admittedly there s no way [ ]

Weak Hero Class 1 (Spoiler City)

Thought I d write down my thoughts on the K-drama Weak Hero Class 1, a series loosely based on a manhwa called Weak Hero. I tried reading a few chapters after watching season 1 of the drama but didn t get hooked on it; I just liked the live action series. 😶‍🌫️ There s quite a bit of [ ]

Cherry blossoms and other stuff

As I m writing this post, the cherry blossoms in Osaka are all long gone. 🙇 This once-a-year blooming cycle is not enough. But just like every year that s passed, I managed to crawl out of my cave to gawk at the pretty pink flowers. Luckily, no sudden allergy attack this year. I visited the two [ ]

New PC, who dis

Sooo, Monster Hunter Wilds is releasing at the end of the month. I built a new computer to be able to play it, but also not solely just for that Still, there were other options, like buying a PlayStation 5. However, I m boycotting Sony for a variety of reasons, plus it s been 6 years since [ ]
