I made us all a daily escape game (“What if Wordle was a maze?”) — it’s called: a maze, a maze, a maze…

I made a new app: Crumbs. It's a personal and private location journal, like Swarm/Foursquare but based on geo coordinates, not places and businesses.

Week 15.26: Spent the week making art with math, went on a side quest to make a 3D maze game, and survived a massive hangover. Also: Amazon US does not deserve to ship vinyl.

Week 14.26: Built a private location journal, had a Eureka moment my AI assistant somehow missed, and learned that just because you can vibe code something doesn't mean you should.

I made a new app: Crumbs. It's a personal and private location journal, like Swarm/Foursquare but based on geo coordinates, not places and businesses.

Week 13.26: Finished my biggest app yet, thinking about forming a late boomers' coding club, and reading the most beautiful book ever set in space. Also: I’m one sardine short of a whole can.

Introducing DataDeck — an app that procedurally generates music from live Singapore government data feeds.

Week 12.26: Six apps in three weeks, staying up until 3:30am fighting a drum machine, and a photo walk on Emerald Hill. I think I have an AI G-force problem.

I made an app called CommonVerse. It's magnetic poetry for a post-Wordle world. Everyone gets the same words each day. What will you do with them?

Week 11.26: Built two more apps, hit the sophomore slump with one and did my best work yet with the other. Also: the designing/developing distinction is collapsing, and how Disney on Ice is actually a sensible combination.

App: Library Supercollider

SkySpotter: I made an immersive 3D plane-spotting app using live flight and weather data. Vibe coded with Gemini 3 Pro.

Week 10.26: Built a post-apocalyptic weather app in a single week, realized vibe coding has rewired my brain, and read the worst cozy Japanese book imaginable. Patience is going to be impossible in the new world, and that’s bad for everyone.

Urban Jungle transforms urban environments into speculative futures, visualizing how cities might evolve without human intervention, through a lens of ecological transformation. Oh, and it’s a weather app too.

Week 9.26: Deliveroo is leaving Singapore, which is a shame — the market doesn’t always pick the best product. Also: AI panoramas in Vision Pro, vibe-coded an album art app, and read four books including one that’s got me ready for a week of solitude.

Week 8.26: It was a rainy CNY and I gambled back what I gave out in angpows. Visited the National Gallery which exhausted me so much I broke my vow to stop buying records. Also: watched The Pitt and read a weird book.

Week 7.26: Finally went to the dentist after years of avoidance. Got a second opinion from an AI. Reconnected with a friend I hadn’t seen in four years. Climbed a virtual mountain to cope with the stress. Normal week.

Week 6.26: Read a stunning short story (Julia) about an artificial mind at the end of humanity — dense, beautiful, unforgettable. Also: a Moltbook follow-up, new Vision Pro experiences, and finally catching up on Apple TV’s Tehran after 6 years.

Week 5.26: AI agents are cosplaying sentience on Moltbook and I’m starting to worry, America’s ‘moral discovery’ phase, mackerel as the methadone of canned fish, and discovering New Sincerity via dubstep ponies.

Week 4.26: Designed a sardine tee, used Gemini to improve my already great product copy, and kept my promise not to buy records (J Dilla’s in my Amazon cart though).

Week 3.26: Accidentally bought too many detective mystery games, why Nintendo gets the Wrapped trend right, and the physical album release I blame for everything.

Week 2.26: Only 1 vinyl purchase (in your face, AI), intentionality beats friction, fading the new Instax mini Evo Cinema camera, and blaming Dilla for my rhythm game failures.

Week 1.26: Inherited 20+ records including a signed Ralph McTell with problematic inscription, visited local shops and bought five more, definitely ‘stopping now’ (narrator: he won’t). Plus, the best albums of 2025.

Week 52.25: Got a turntable for Christmas (financial ruin incoming), a year-end reflection with Claude’s help, a new playlist, and Steve Jobs made me cry on a plane.

Week 51.25: Observations from China with lots of B&W “film” photos. Featuring culture shock for breakfast, ghost towns, and nonsensical brand names.

Week 49.25: A new sardine addiction, Craig Mod’s walking journals, Bugonia‘s great song choice, Norah Jones’s podcast, and A Charlie Brown Christmas on repeat.

Week 47.25: LUX has got me learning Spanish, the racist toothpaste half the world hasn’t heard of, and a big week for hip-hop.

Week 46.25: Bangkok Sushiro verdict is in (plus an even better spot). Also: Predator: Badlands with an immersive challenge thrown in, Rosamund Pike’s accent mastery, and ROSALÍA’s astounding LUX.

Week 45.25: Vertigo struck again (pray for my upcoming flight). Also: solo dining booths are cozy actually, Anbernic’s DS clone disappoints, and Apple TV’s Pluribus raises the bar insanely high.

Week 44.25: Doctor visits for me and my iPad (turns out it ages better than I do). Also: spectacular sodium consumption, impulse-buying MagSafe accessories, and how the Vision Pro beats IMAX for watching Avatar.

Week 43.25

Week 42.25

Week 41.25 Got the health all-clear, watched crypto implode, saw Tron in all its neon glory, and figured out what Amazon Prime Day is really doing to us.

Week 40.25 Week 40.25: Health checks, couples therapy with Nintendo, blind boxes, extinct media, and a few good books.

Week 39.25 Dyson betrayed me. Puzzle Quest returned. Shake Shack nearly killed me. Rewatched Cloud Atlas and cringed. A week of breakdowns, fixes, and mixed feelings.

Week 38.25 New sounds (AirPods Pro 3), new sights (iPhone 17 Pro Max), old ghosts (Ghost in the Shell), future visions (SG60), and a little Bertolucci in between.

Week 37.25 Week 37.25: iPhone week delivered one of Apple’s best lineups in years. Thoughts on the Air vs Pro pivot, family stories, and Singapore Design Week is back. Pro Max in Silver, btw.

Week 36.25 Week 36.25: Switched telcos, finished Cloud Atlas, revisited Ryan Adams’ Heartbreaker, invented a podcast from the apocalypse, and Apple Music’s “Classic Hip-Hop” station reminded me: we’re the classics now.

Week 35.25: Funerals, faded traditions, falling-apart shoes, and the eternal brilliance of Tapestry. Also: a Shinchan twist ending.

Week 34.25: Looking back to see what’s changed. From fish & chips, to Cloud Atlas, the Explore POV app, and my mixtape series.

Week 33.25: Illness beaten, it’s now time for a summer vacation in game land. Plus ice cream, beta OSes, and banana sandwiches.

Week 32.25: Down with round two of summer flu, so the week’s been coughs, Netflix junk, and Owen Wilson golf wisdom. 🍦+🍺 are the ultimate recovery goals.

Week 31.25: Fell ill mid‑trip, but it forced me to slow down—fireplaces, bookstores, and Costco hotdogs never looked so good. Also: does using AI to plan travel make the memories fuzzier?

Week 30.25: Melbourne air, spiders, and knocking out 3.5 books on a budget flight while Counting Crows played like it was still 1998.

Week 29.25: From handheld consoles to childhood summers to greasy hotpot regrets — this week’s post ended up being about the things that outlast their shelf life.

New week, new things: • Apple Music’s great anniversary show • The Bear S4 won’t let a sentence finish • Persona 5 X is legit • Umamusume is… horse girls • App of the week: Graintouch • Movie of the week: F1

Happy birthday, Apple Music! I wrote about the Beats acquisition in 2014, guessing the headphones would stick around but the streaming service would become Apple branded. sangsara.net/2014/05/11/%...

Week 26.25: What my CliftonStrengths say about my half-finished projects, a delightful game about a bird climbing a mountain, and finally giving Princess Mononoke the daylight watch it deserves.

Week 25.25: Got back into the Famicom Detective Club series With Emio The Smiling Man, then made the fateful choice to start TSUKIHIME. Also: gallery wanderings, Adobe’s new camera app, and getting priced out of a 4-deli Muji lunch.

I’m playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and I can’t believe the story hand they’re dealing Kiryu?!
