Dudes sitting by the side of the building walkway, facing the road, chilling with some food and drinks and exposing their bellies as one does, known as the Beijing Bikini style (wikipedia has an entry go check it out)

The haze hit “very unhealthy” levels this afternoon so office has finally issued an email saying we can arrange to work from home after speaking to our managers. They are also issuing N95 masks now. This brings back memories.

Lucky I did bring a sweater to office, am cold, and my sinus hurts. Wearing a mask now which seems to make my sinus more bearable. The haze still looks horrible but it seems like it isn’t a very sunny day today anyway

Call me stupid but I am quite keen to try these wired noise cancellation earphones cos.. it looks like Bose has finally figured out how to make them without a chunky box attached? Or is this a marketing gimmick
Bose Noice Cancelling Wired Earbuds. Now without funny boxes attached SO THEY CLAIM

Basically they look like nondescript usb-c cable earphones

Musuko has been flu-jabbed, that’s the last of us! Compared to last year he did not struggle but just whimpered that he did not want (to take the jab). He took note of the light switch and I saw him hesitate but he did not flip it. The doctor was a young fellow but game for the challenge and […]

“Sony implemented backward compatibility on the PlayStation 5 for both physical and digital PlayStation 4 games. It is evident that the console can play games from older generations of consoles all this time. This raises an interesting question: why has Sony been holding out on its fans?”

My cat has developed a routine where he demands access to my office so he can curl up at my feet while I work. Which is goddam adorable and makes my heart swell two sizes yadda yadda. BUT. The slavedriver doesn't understand the meaning of "days off" so here I am at my desk on a Saturday.
