Ah first of all no shrinkflation, just a US invasion of Iran naptha shortage based optical illusion
While I like the stability of Japan’s timezone from a perspective of working with people in other timezones, it is crazy how no daylight saving means sunrise is currently at 4:30am and sunset is at 6:30pm. Really feels like a 2 hour time shift would be appropriate
Decent shake last night in Tokyo. You can tell how big a quake is primarily by the duration - in Tokyo even though it was relatively small, it lasted over a minute, and gradually got bigger. That implied it was a very large quake quite far away. And it was.
I wish that people like Rintaro Nishimura were on here. Unfortunately with current dramas in govt, the best commentary remains on Elon's site. I love the insights I get from people like this.
Still ridiculously hot 35C in Tokyo today… AGAIN… but it must be Autumn because somehow the air is suddenly clear enough that I can juuust make out Mount Fuji…
With Tenka Ippin closing everywhere I decided to do my bit to help the brand
I’ve heard American friends bemoaning the impact of cheap air travel out of the US a few times even going back decades
The growth rate is super interesting. You can see how under the DPJ (2009-2012) the rate fell, and then under Abe the rate of foreign workers skyrocketed
Lol, Hiroshima to all it's neighbors "we all hate Tokyo right?". Neighbors: "Riiiight..." Also why in hell does Fukushima dislike Yamaguchi? And where is Okinawa? In a 2020 survey by J-Town, each prefecture was asked which prefecture they disliked the most:
Oh wow, I just got my first ever spam message inviting me to try a yami-baito!
Interesting - less active days than last year but I guess running longer distances and a few half marathons covered the same distance. I can’t safely wear a tracker for Muay Thai so Strava doesn’t get those days but pretty decent stats for a year..!
I really dislike running in the cold even though it was much easier. First time in a while I ran without hitting my Zone 3 heat rate (153 bpm) once. Also I hate to admit it but I run a much more consistent faster pace at lower heart rate without music than with…
Lovely sunset out my window behind the webcam where I shoot Tokyo Tonight. But grrr that scaffolding across the road blocking half of my mountain!
Still rebuilding fitness but listening to YouTube instead of music ran 16k around the palace at a surprisingly good pace. Enjoying the cool but not too cold sunny weather
First run in a week. Really interesting, fitness slipped a bit so to take it easy I ran without music on my PaceDJ app and just listened to YouTube. Result? Faster than expected pace, in Zone 2 for 90% of the run (low heartrate)
Tidying up the desk setup. Love the standing desk setup, and preparing for integrating some new toys…
Beautiful day for a run past Yasukuni today. Also had fun mashing up some Run DMC with Drum and Bass
Birthday present to myself. Converted my old Ikea desk to an electric standing one
I asked ChatGPT "hey what about all the music I ask you to help me organize for YouTube and it generated this. Man, I have GREAT hair...
I'm sure it did. Although I worry about ending up like Lonely Luke if I did that.
