This week I’ve been thinking about career paths, about how to quantify and measure things and social capital. Oh and the humidity has been rising fast.
Re-established my gym routine, this time equipped with a new (and cheaper) app for planning and tracking.
Did that thing this week where when people brought problems, instead of just listening, I went full career coach mode. This isn’t a muscle I’ve worked out much lately and I forgot how much I enjoy it. More of this?
Bittersweet leaving catch-up during the week. It seems like every 6 months or so there’s a small spike of people leaving, sometimes the company and sometimes the city or country. I wish everyone lots of success.
Nice little dinner on Thursday which drifted into the wee hours and all over Tokyo. Shibuya can be fun.
Costco on Friday. I have restocked coffee and cheese. The kalbi bake is delicious, OMG.
Saturday was July the 4th, so I went to a BBQ which was very fun where I ate way too much meat. One highlight was making a burger sauce, where we deployed Claude Fable to concoct a recipe: It was pretty good.
Closed the week in a secret bar in Oshiage where I tried very hard to listen to Japanese but failed to really speak any. Next time, eh?
I asked for a cocktail which “resembled the concept of the number seven”. I don’t know what it was, but it was very good.
After last week’s karaoke I’ve been reliving my teenage years listening to My Chemical Romance all week. Gutted to miss their live tours a few years back.
Did a small refresh of typography on this website, including adding support for JP, and rationalising design/font decisions. UI and heading styles are now M Plus 2 which I really like, but I’m not fully sold on it here. What do you think?
Feeling the urge to write a lot but also total writers block.
