Funny how I can transfer money internationally with Wise in seconds but it takes days to transfer money between two US bank accounts that have the same owner.

It’s almost as if people cannot help themselves with algorithm-driven social media anymore. Countless studies of it being bad for mental health, society, democracy, and people continue to engage.

Best tip for having a rice cooker is to never turn it off. Once you have rice on demand, there is no going back.

Just decided to sign up for my first race in over a year. Not at the same level of fitness, but I need a goal to improve. I'm in good enough fitness to start training again, at least. LFG!

Seems to be a lot more mosquitos in #Bangkok than normal for December. Has anyone else noticed this or am I just getting bit all of a sudden after years of not having any problem?

My garmin running watch was really driving me crazy, switched to a coros and foot pod. All is well now, very impressed with the accuracy and more modern UI.

It’s amazing how much less toxic social media feels when you’re not being subjected to a toxic algorithm that prioritizes engagement and minimizes everything else.

Apple Intelligence is a funny name when it can barely even understand what playlist I want to play from Apple Music. I usually have to make about 3-4 attempts before it gets it correct.

e-filing with the California Court system is a laughable experience. Thought the government was more modern than it actually is. For instance, you can't even e-file directly, need to go through a 3rd-party service, all of which have logos that look like they are from the 90's made by a teenager.

The Finance Minister of #Thailand is proposing an increase to VAT to combat income inequality. This kind of increase will once again disproportionately affect the middle class, instead of addressing the inequality of the super rich. There are much more effective ways to combat this.

Just tried the new #meditation activity that was a part of the recent #garmin watch update. I really like this visualization after just 2 minutes.

Feels good to have read an entire book in a few days. Haven’t been able to do that in a long while.

Straight off the plane and into a 9km run to make up for sitting for an extended period time. Grateful for movement.

Saw so many people break personal records at the Amazing Thailand Marathon races this weekend. Great to see running becoming so popular in Thailand.

It is amazing but I guess not surprising that airlines still have fares that do not include checked bags at all for international flights. Hidden fees in airlines are ridiculous.

First day I went for a run in the morning in over a year. Honestly I didn’t really want to but was forced to because of my schedule. Incredibly happy I did. Forgot what a nice way it is to start the day with exercise.

Was able to run 12km on my long run this weekend for the first time in about a year since my injury. Feels so great to be on the road back again.

Saturday morning breakfast date in Thong Lor. Had a wonderful breakfast burrito and sat in some chairs that were identical to the ones at my parents’ house on the other side of the world.
