Our parting meal: Yakiniku. A Japanese style of grilling bite-sized meats and vegetables over a tabletop charcoal or gas grill.

Also Japan: queue-ception at what looks like an actual authorized dealership - in a mall of all places! An entire line of people waiting… to be placed on a waiting list… for something they still won’t be able to buy. 🙃

Bic Camera in Tokyo has a #Rolex section. Because nothing says ‘luxury Swiss timepiece’ like buying one next to discounted rice cookers. Also Rolex and Tudor next to Gucci? That’s an express elevator from Swiss watchmaking royalty straight down to ‘designer-logo-on-a-quartz-movement’ territory. 🤣

Same place, different time. I can't date them exactly, but they must have been taken in the early 1960s. 'Tempête à Washington' (English title: 'Advise & Consent') is a film that was released in 1962. I found these slides in a collection passed down to me by a distant relative.

Revisiting the 1982 interactive fiction "Starcross" by INFOCOM on #C64. Those games came with physical "feelis" that you needed to solve the puzzles.
At some point we took the wrong turn in game development history and now all we have is digital download only junkfood w/o all that cool stuff. 😔

The trusty old C64 is still a welcome guest on my desk. I sourced almost all of the parts for my current one from eBay. VIC, CPU, CIAs, SID, board, keys... I reassembled everything into a brand new case from Individual Computers (made from original Commodore moulds) and brought it back to life.

We swapped out our old desks for electric standing desks at work last week. There's something seriously therapeutic about working standing up for a while when your colleagues are being annoying again... 😏 #office #workplace #colleagues

My R 1100 R hasn't been fired up in years. Rock hard tires, dead battery, broken starter, old break fluid, oil and and timing belt left a crater in my wallet. Now it finally passed inspection and I can register it and ride it. Oh and look what I got from a friend yesterday: #bmw #r1100r #motorcycle
