Preparing for the new snow season with major updates to my snowline.jp site. Added loads more webcams, better snow data and even resort opening dates.

For many years, I have wanted to get a Sigma fp camera. Now I even want it more after finding out how they build everything in Aizu, Fukushima. www.sigma-global.com/en/about/

Halloween logicals, still the best 10/31 venn

I feel like I should also launch an AI browser. AI browser is the new todo list. Everyone thinks everyone wants one, but actually we all secretly hate it.

Today I learned that in CSS, `color: darkgray` is lighter that `color: gray` www.joshwcomeau.com/css/color-fo...

AI as a ghost is pretty wonderful. It's not alive but it some how can do things that normal humans can't, yet has some fatal flaws. Stuck in pergatory or on a device. @genmon.fyi writes about this: interconnected.org/home/2025/09...

Another #vibecoding update. Spent the long weekend making an Android app of my dreams . A check-in & location timeline app that allows me to check in post visit. Did so much I ran out of quota on Claude Pro that I decided to try out Codex (w/ ChatGPT Plus) and Gemini CLI.

Maybe it's just me that finds this funny, but ASDF stands for Japan's Air Self Defense Force. mainichi.jp/english/arti...

I also knocked up a fun interactive global explorer where you can check out your favorite country and food choices to compare risks quantifyearth.github.io/food-globe/

I've never heard of a Sodium Ion rechargable battery, but apparently that's something you can buy now in Japan. More expensive than Lithium Ion but way more charge cycles (5000): www.elecom.co.jp/pickup/conte...

Another vibe coded experiment. Imagine if you had a browser that could only access pages from an LLM. Give it any URL, even completely made up ones and it'll show you. aversion.one/of/navigator

Just rewatched Interstellar (2014) -- their AI robots can reconfigure their honesty and humor levels. I think we need that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b-O...

(Nearly) daily vibe coding: I've been making changes every day but haven't been posting about it. I've got to the point where the UI is more refined after a lot of specifying how the UX should be. The more I do, the more features I want to add! aversion.one/of/metro

Daily Vibe Coding : In celebration of being back in London, I vibe coded a train map editor so I could make my own version of the London underground map - but for everything. aversion.one/of/metro

Fell off the daily vibe coding streak because of lots of errands, itching to get back after a weeks break.

Getting ready to visit London again after 5 years. 💂

Daily Vibing: Improved on the codepoet. Added a few other poet styles and algorithms, which is delightful. It's surprising that even though the poem is abstract to humans (me), the LLM knows that code it is roughly describing! Coded with Claude Code. aversion.one/of/codepoet

I was looking for some usb mixer interfaces I could repurpose for controlling blinds and lights, and then found this, a Yamaha SEQTRAK that looks like an alt version of the OP-1! jp.yamaha.com/products/mus...

Daily Vibing: Convert code to a poem and then back to code. I love the idea of being able to prompt LLMs in riddles and poems rather than prose. Coded with Gemini CLI. aversion.one/of/codepoet

Daily vibing: Probably the final iteration of my threejs text field. It now has colors and a reflection underneath for a bit more 3d. Works on mobile. Written by Claude Code. localhost:5173/of/number

Daily vibing: iterated on my threejs text field. I didn't come up with the animations, asked Claude Code to make it "explode" when I delete a character. It did something better than what I had thought of. (Desktop only for now) aversion.one/of/number

Daily Vibing: A full screen 3d input box. Svelte component using ThreeJS written using Claude Code. aversion.one/of/number

Daily vibing : building a little fake terminal emulator. aversion.one/of/terminal

The other day, I was telling friends and family how a housewife originated these Tokyo Metro transfer and exit guides, and they thought I was kidding. It used to be a well-known story. If you don't know it, here's a quick summary.

I love this thing. It's algo art meets poetry meets self-deprecation of "The Vibe Coder". "The Vibe Coder’s energy is like this, he lets things come and he lets things go, effortlessly, without grasping. He has no expectations, thus, he’s never disappointed." www.thewayofcode.com#55

My favorite blog recently is all about how the internet was in the 90s. Do you all even remember Pointcast? cybercultural.com/p/internet-1...

IKEA (eye-key-ah) is pronounced differently in Japan. It is pronounced ee-ke-ah (イケア) I wonder which one is closer to the original Swedish pronounciation. This came up when I had a chat about why Google decided to pronounce Gemini as gem-min-ni (ジェミニ) in Japanese.

Errr... The weather report says it's 34C, but all the sensors outside my house are screaming 38C.

A while back I had trouble with Svelte on an iOS 13 Safari device. This was what I was trying to build, a custom home assistant front end using their websocket API running on a iPad mini Gen 3.

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com

I'm a big user of @svelte.dev for all my web projects. But today I realized that it's really difficult (or impossible) to get sites working on older browsers (eg. iOS 12's Safari) through polyfills, etc.

Oh my, they made a whole movie about the "Exit 8" game I was obsessed with playing! exit8-movie.toho.co.jp/news.html#20...

Nintendo is going to have two different Switch 2s. One that is only in Japanese, can only pair with Japan region Nintendo accounts and is ¥20,000 cheaper ($140) than the international version. Interesting strategy to guarantee stock for the Japanese market!

Seven & i Holdings - the name of the company that owns 7-11 Japan, turns out, was formed when 7-11 Japan, Ito and Dennys Japan was merged. Dennys?? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_%...

I only just realized after two decades that Jinja Templates is called that because Jinja means Temple in Japanese. jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/fa...

The year is 2035, and my AI Microwave lets me put in some soggy KFC fries and I type in the prompt make these McDonalds fries." I'm kidding. I'll just give it a photo of the McDonalds fries as the prompt, of course

I've always wondered, are pringles cans burnable or non-burnable. This has been the main reason I stopped buying them.

I can't find much content on the Japanese internet or YouTube on people's experiences with making their home automation using HEMS and Echonet Lite. Maybe I'm searching wrong or there's a gap in the market.

Thought experiment: what if someone took an LLM and made a compiler that takes input English prose (like a novel) and then outputs code that represents the content? So the characters are variables, chapters are functions, etc. 🤔

Wow, a private company just landed a spacecraft on the moon and it captured some gorgeous pictures of it. youtu.be/NpHhEybJdxg?...

There are three more days to get one of these exclusive prints from @theguardian.com- www.guardianprintshop.com/pages/current-print-drops

Every time someone adds me on LinkedIn, I panic and think : "Oh no, what does my LinkedIn profile say I do? It's probably still that silly thing I put in."

Day 16 of Season 24/25. After years of wanting to ride Geto Kogen, finally got to do it. This place got 17m of snow this season (not all of it still here). It did not disappoint.

I drew the cover for this week's @newyorker.com

Good reminder of art as refuge on the cover of this week’s New Yorker

I wonder, if we all think Facebook and Instagram is listening to us on the phones, why we not all uninstalling those apps? 🤔

I just realized there is a gap in the market for an app that tells you where Mt Fuji is, and then draws an AR version of it if a building is obstructing the view.
