I can’t wait to see what the HomeKit/Home Assistant community does with the Home View. I’m excited to tinker with mine when it shows up. I’ve never been a big FaceTime user before but this is probably the perfect way to use FaceTime with far-away family.

If Democrats win the house and senate, they probably won’t be allowed into chambers in January as a desperate loser of a president does everything possible to prevent a peaceful transfer of power and any consequences from ever reaching him. We should probably prepare for this outcome.

While grabbing a burrito, this pulled up next to me and I thought it was just a nice Type 3 fastback VW until I checked my photo a day later and holy crap it’s a perfectly restored Alfa Romeo worth about a hundred grand in this state.

The hardest part of flying home from Japan is adjusting to the time change. For example in Tokyo I got to experience a future where everyone deserves dignity but I’m flying back to a country intent on pushing itself back to the 1950s. It’s hard to adjust your watch to that.

Saw a $175k hand built Toyota Century driving last night in Tokyo and honestly thought it was a Bentley. It looks incredible and also a supreme flex to drive a huge SUV among kei cars.

For my last night in Tokyo I decided to go all out on a high end omakase meal. I had the best fish I’ve ever had and remember this night for years.

The chef used clear soy sauce on the nigiri here

Seared toro, aka the greatest bite of fish I’ve ever eaten

Years ago I learned about a symbol used for temples on Japanese maps, but it still shocked me when I saw it on my own phone while checking directions The 25% Ashkenazi in me screamed “you’re walking TOWARDS that symbol?!” Then I realized I also took a very crowded train to get there. Whoa.

The Tokyo transit museum is only a couple miles from me but it’s in a weird spot that requires an hour spent across three different subways to get there. Maps tells me a taxi is only a 19min trip but it seems off-brand to take a car to a train museum.

Turned on my hotel TV thinking “I’ve never seen what regular live Japanese TV is like, I wonder if it’ll be like” and there’s a nice piano being played while a cat sits on the piano, with lots of closeups of the cat not the musician for several minutes. 10/10 no notes

Japan’s cosplay game is ridiculously on point, as expected. This was one of many Anna and Elsa fans walking around, probably mid-tier compared to others (also it’s 80° hot and humid and everyone is wearing huge heavy robes). DisneySea has no rules against adults wearing costumes.

DisneySea is blowing me away with the level of detail in every inch of the park. I got dinner in the Frozen land and this is two dining rooms out of five. Every beam is hand painted. The wall art is original oil paintings. The lighting is phenomenal, all for a quick service restaurant.
