We did Christmas in a western way, and so New Years will be Japanese.
For Christmas Eve, we had festive decorations, special meals, treats, and gifts.
Now on New Years Eve, my wife hands me a sponge and bucket and tells me to clean the bathroom
I’m not sure I understood the terms of the deal

We have reached the point of winter break where I think, “gee, wouldn’t it be cool to learn to read Middle Egyptian? Hieroglyphics can’t be that hard, right?”

I can’t quite put my finger on why, but it bothers me that Scrooge is miserable at the beginning of the story. And his conversion is in large part due to seeing himself die with nobody there.
Maybe it makes it seem like yet another selfish act rather than actual compassion and kindness?

I was wondering why clothes I bought were too small. I’m a Medium, I’m nearly always a Medium.
Well I bought it in Japan, where Medium actually means Small to the rest of the world…

The intensity with which my son focuses on the single Spider-Man bedtime storybook we have makes me excited for post-Christmas when he’ll have the whole set of Spider-Man storybooks we are getting him.

Alright well I’ve kinda been hard on Japanese banks for the past few months, but at least I don’t have to wait “up to 3 business days, depending on the financial institution” for money transfers to happen. In my experience it’s been minutes if not seconds. Same with my German bank too, iirc

In a pinch and need something to pinch your curtains shut? Try getting some nail clippers and closing them on the curtain! Hopefully they will be strong enough to keep your curtains closed.

I wrote in an email: “so-and-so was a bit shaken by the earthquake”
I already sent it, but now want to follow-up with “omg no pun intended, they were actually scared, I’m not making a joke!” But I also don’t want to bring attention to it if they didn’t read it like that 🙈

I’m gonna start a tradition when gift distributing, I tell people to “render unto me the things that are mine.”
It will be great when my son (also named Caesar) starts doing it too.

I lived in a city whose symbol is a bear, and never in 2 years did I give a passing thought to real life bears.
Now I’ve moved away and I’m subscribed to notifications for when bears show up in my neighborhood or near the school.

I’m taking time off work, but I still feeling like writing some code. Maybe SwiftUI? Maybe break away and pick up some Web UI?
I’m on a plane all day today. What are the best resources I could follow along with to learn?

Anyone ever set up a local wifi network on an airplane so your iPhone and MacBook can talk to each other? The phones hotspot is disabled when there’s no cellular data, and macOS doesn’t see to enable the network if there’s no actual connection it is sharing (eg no actual Ethernet port connected).
