“No Phones in the Ten-Don Shop” by Craig Mod is a wonderful essay about the magical little food shops in Japan. I did not go to this place but went to a few like it in Tokyo a few weeks ago and I am still thinking about them. Also reminded that I have not written a single word about 1/2

Saw the Oakland Theatre Project put on a Cabaret tonight and it was stunning. Blew my mind and exceeded all of my expectations. There is no better way to experience theatre than in a tiny sold out room and a cast giving it their all.

As all things in robotics, this is further complicated by some folks at ZettaScale attempting to build a Zenoh native ROS 2 stack.

Watched this TedX video about how to learn any language in six months and felt annoyed after struggling with Chinese for years. But then I took some of the ideas into consideration and am already noticing an improvement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0yGdNEWdn0

Eugen Rochko started a revolution and has earned a well deserved break. I hope he finds some time to unwind and reflect on the huge positive change that he has brought to the world. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/11/my-next-chapter-with-mastodon/

Charlotte's transport referendum has won.
1% sales tax increase is expected to generate $19 billion/20 years, funding:
—Transit (40%): Red Line commuter rail, Silver Line light rail, Gold Line extension, Blue Line extension
—Road projects (40%)
—Bus improvements, creating frequent bus network (20%)

Just with early vote reporting, Charlotte's transportation sales tax referendum is currently up 55–45%. But I caution this is just the early vote!

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.

I was so sad to hear about Daniel Naroditsky passing away.
During the pandemic I spend hundreds of hours watching him teach chess on Twitch and YouTube. His famous super slow “speed runs”. I learned so much from him and I’ll miss him a lot. Rest in Peace.
