Everything from data annotation, to assistance with managing private equity companies, to robotics hardware, to just-in-time information serving for sales reps, to tankless diving equipment (!!).
Oh god, you too?
I got hit with it over New Year's, and I have a writeup over here. jethachan.net/security/202...
Could you please give me a DM, or an email over at jetha@google.com? I'd like to learn more about what happened and maybe we can help each other.
My Discord account was compromised over the New Year - if you've ever heard of the good old "just try my game" attack, well, I fell for it.
For more information, see my writeup on the matter: jethachan.net/security/202...
It's okay it could be worse!
Too late, the guy got my data and then extorted a couple hundred bucks outta me.
Passed this legend on the expressway earlier (photo courtesy of my wife). First time seeing an Aston Martin itasha!
I love the catering for special events at our offices. #googleai
Solar panels in full effect! It’s going to be interesting to see how these stats start to take shape.
Katamari Damacy remains really charming. #TGS2025
The cosplayers at the Sega booth are really good, wow. #TGS2025
LaDS in full effect here at #TGS2025
One of these things is not like the others..!
At the local matsuri! Pro tip: if you’re concerned your yakisoba doesn’t have enough meat in it, just buy a beef skewer separately.
It was only a week but wow, I missed Tokyo.
The Google office at Pier 57 has this long entry ramp, but the dino helps you ignore the burn.
🎵 in New York 🎵
Squirrels are fascinating.
New York, I was not familiar with your game.
A flight attendant came over to point out the northern lights.
Friends were like “why fly into JFK” and tbh I kind of just wanted to fly non-stop on JAL’s A350-1000. This is kind of nuts…
It turns out that if you opt in for Face Express at Haneda, you get a whole other boarding line… still priority for groups 1 and 2 but this is kind of nuts.
Flying out to NY for some meetings. Two hours before boarding, might as well get some work done…
Spotted a Waymo in Japan! They’re doing testing and verification atm.
Let’s go next time you’re here! The strawberry shortcake is a weekend exclusive btw
The shop is here: maps.app.goo.gl/8x3eigbhCjYq...
Taking some time to recommend “marbre vegan”, a plant-based cake shop near Shinjuku Gyoen. My wife has egg and dairy allergies so finding cakes for her has always been difficult… am happy to report that they taste great!
Spotted at Comiket today; a split keyboard with a trackball for each thumb.
At #Comiket106, in order of popularity there are are:
- island circles (interior, outward facing, end-of-table)
- wall circles, where their tables are up against the walls of the hall (for lines)
- shutter circles, where their tables face out into the parking lot (for even longer lines)
It’s the calm before the storm here on day 2 of #Comiket106 - sales are against the rules until the event opens for real, but there are already long lines at a lot of major circles as participants decide what their first priorities will be when it does.
50 years of Comiket catalogs…
