What is a jrpg??

I mean, too many side quests and the list keeps on growing, like the weeds in my garden.

Grateful for all the opportunities. The opportunity to travel the world, to work on the first iPhone app, to bring people together, to work with wonderful people, to redesign Google, to work on my favourite products and to eat all the free food.

After 6863 days, yesterday was my final day at Google. Two months shy of 19 years.

There's no next thing, I'm retiring to spend time completing my side quests.

Ohhh, how does the redirect work, is Kagi a browser?

Axios Supply Chain Attack Pushes Cross-Platform RAT via Compromised npm Account Axios 1.14.1 and 0.30.4 injected malicious plain-crypto-js@4.2.1 after npm compromise on March 31, 2026, deploying cross-platform RAT malware.

Let me report another supply chain attack: While I was reading about the axios supply chain attack, I was fooled into thinking that The Hacker News is the Hacker News (hn.ycombinator.com).

I'm this 👌 close to muting anything that starts with "the future of" because there's nothing more annoying than someone trying to predict the future.

Let's stay in the present.

Those must be some pretty big emojis!

Gosh I love these! Low poly flat rendering is my jam.

Geo Tokyo #6 - Spring 2026 · Luma Join us for our 6th Geo Tokyo event! After a three year hiatus, we're back. This is a casual meetup of mapping enthusiasts in Tokyo. If you like making maps,…

We are resurrecting the Geo Tokyo meetup that has been on a 3.5 year hiatus. @reustle.org and I are inviting those who like geeking out on maps and geo data to come join us on Apr 1 at FabCafe Tokyo for a good fun chat.

Another vibe coded thing that was easier to make than to search for. A qrcode generator where I can mess with the pixels and see if it scans.

That's wonderful you shared that! I think I came up with this nickname/alias on IRC in around 1995 just stuck with it! I think I did find there were some other people who had the same name afterwards.

Thanks for sharing and also appreciate you changed to a more unique name! Where are you based?

I'm thinking you'll still get your sanding when you realize 90% of owning robots is plugging them into the right charging cable.

Thank you!! Yes you should try to come try it. Though the snow seasons are getting shorter and shorter. Riding japanese powder is so different from what I was used. But you have to try it to be able to do it. Maybe you'll get it straight away.

Thank you! It's getting there ... maybe a few more weeks and will be back to normal.

I'm learning a lot about the boards, but also the culture and people.

So here it is: a living archive of Japanese snowboards, those boards designed for riding that Japanese snow.

I dislocated my knee a month ago snowboarding, and so I've been channelling all my frustration and energy into building this big site about Japanese snowboards.
The world of Japanese snowboards is very fragmented and not so well documented, but also huge and fascinating.

As a fun experiment, while redesigning my website again this year, I wondered what would happen if I could navigate my website using terminal commands. Today, I got it working after a few attempts:

Preparing for the new snow season with major updates to my snowline.jp site. Added loads more webcams, better snow data and even resort opening dates.

Sigma is a Japanese manufacturer of photographic lenses and cameras. Our production is based entirely in Japan, with our headquarters in Kanagawa and our factory in Aizu, Fukushima. We have been a family-owned company since our founding by Michihiro Yamaki in 1961. Today, Sigma is managed by his son, Kazuto Yamaki. It is this independence that allows us to explore different approaches and pursue our ideal of craftsmanship. Our Aizu factory was established in 1973. To this day, it remains Sigma's sole manufacturing base, with every step of production - from initial concept to optical engineering, product assembly, quality control and even parts sourcing - taking place in Japan. Although not without its challenges, this conscious decision ensures seamless collaboration across departments and partner companies, quick response times and rigorous quality control at every stage of production. Our deep ties to the Tohoku region, particularly Aizu, have allowed us to become part of the local community, to support its culture, to advance local technology, and to nurture the expertise of our employees.

For many years, I have wanted to get a Sigma fp camera. Now I even want it more after finding out how they build everything in Aizu, Fukushima.

Halloween logicals, still the best 10/31 venn

Not even a "thanks"??

I feel like I should also launch an AI browser. AI browser is the new todo list.

Everyone thinks everyone wants one, but actually we all secretly hate it.

I'm excited that you have a feed on your blog as well 😉

I like AI slop and I cannot lie Posted on Friday 26 Sep 2025. 876 words, 9 links. By Matt Webb.

AI as a ghost is pretty wonderful. It's not alive but it some how can do things that normal humans can't, yet has some fatal flaws. Stuck in pergatory or on a device.

Yeah I've done it only with Google APIs, they are still the best placedb in the world.

The way the app works is it queries once for the place info and stores it for use locally on the device.

that's cool. is that something that often happens?

I feel though with LLMs now, you can get at least close to interpreting how to query the db if you had the data.

Found that these coding agents are great at writing code, but really bad at coming up with good UX. Most of my interventions were making it use standard components, fixing icons, placement, etc.

Also it got stuck on integration with the Activity Recognition API which took a full day to resolve.

Another #vibecoding update. Spent the long weekend making an Android app of my dreams . A check-in & location timeline app that allows me to check in post visit. Did so much I ran out of quota on Claude Pro that I decided to try out Codex (w/ ChatGPT Plus) and Gemini CLI.
