New book pickup today: Inside North Korea by Oliver Wainwright. The photos are from 2018, so it’s already become a fascinating little time capsule. I think North Korea has changed quite a bit in the years since. Would love to see Taschen and Wainwright do a follow-up someday! #booksky #dprk

Picked up this book "Studio Ghibli: Architecture in Animation" to supplement my #StudioGhibli kick. It's really nice so far. I'll probably post a review when I'm done reading. #anime #booksky

Tonight’s Ghibli was Porco Rosso. Porco has a bit of Mandalorian vibes. Perhaps lower ranked on the Ghibli scale but still a nice one. #moviesky #anime #studioghibli

TIL about the 9-masted "treasure ships" from the Ming-Era China. They dwarfed every other vessel and approx 400 ft long. There were 60 of them in the fleet! You can see the size comparison in the last image. Img 1: Artist Misha Zia Img 2: Artist Stephen Biesty #history #china #boats #naval

Just finished my first in-person Japanese class (after about five years of self-teaching with apps). It was great! It’s a small weekly class running for 10 weeks at the Japanese Cultural Centre. I learned a few new things, and it gave me a a spark to keep moving forward with Japanese. #日本語

Tonight’s #StudioGhibli watch was Howl’s Moving Castle (2004). Delightfully weird as they all have been so far. I’ve watched 6 now. I think there is 19 more to go! #moviesky

I attended the Marie Kondo consultant Zoom meeting (just for fun). It costs $3000USD to get certified. This includes a 3 day conference, online training course and an exam. That takes about 6-9 months to get certified. After that you pay $500USD per year to maintain your certification. #konmari

I’ve been running D&D games for kids on Outschool for five years now. Some of the kids who started playing with me at 11 are now 16 *le gasp* and they’ve been around so long that they’re asking if we can replay some of our original campaigns for "the nostalgia". 😂😂😂 #dnd

Exciting news: My new book arrives Spring 2028 via Wolsak and Wynn! It's about music and takes place in Hamilton. Working with a Hamilton press on this will be fabulous. Big thanks to them...to think, I almost gave up on this MS...

I’m on a bit of a cyberpunk kick lately. Watching the new Ghost in the Shell animated series, playing Cyberpunk 2077, and re-reading these two epic photography books I have from Liam Wong. What’s your favourite cyberpunk media?

I like that Ubisoft commissioned Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tales of Iga series, written and illustrated by an actual Japanese manga artist. The game has been fantastic so far, I love it. This has been a nice supplementary read to pair with it! #mangasky #gamesky #acshadows #manga
