Happy Father’s Day! 👔 Family got me a nice hand grinder ☕️ so I was up this morning and cracked open my new Joan Vergara Java Variety from Luna Roasters. Very fruity and full-bodied! Looking forward to dialing this in.

Coffee recommendations in Kyoto and Osaka ☕

Saturday, June 14, 2025

I was watching this cool tour of coffee shops and roasteries in Vancouver that hits a lot of the famous places. The Youtuber does some of these tours when he visits locations so I prepared some reccos for him for the next time he is in Western Japan. Thought I should share them here for you KYOTO WEEKENDERS COFFEE TOMINOKOJI maps.app.goo.gl/yX4yemvBa… Ambiance is top. They aren’t open very often.

Started: Sharp Ends by Joe Abercrombie 📚

Last one in the First Law series. I thought I would wait a little longer but just can’t. Love these books.

Interesting speculation into the future of UI for Apple as per their hints for the upcoming WWDC: www.lux.camera/physicali…

Sebastiaan’s example of “the exhaust flare being reflected in the video playback bar” shows you the level of detail. 🤯

Screenshot of an episode of Belief being played on an iPhone. The playback bar and associated video control elements are visible. The video shows a spaceship, which is positioned in the lower part of the screen. The engines glow blue, which *reflects onto the video playback bar!

Cover of What Comes Before Mindfulness? — Right Effort and the Buddhist Path to Enlightenment

Finished What Comes Before Mindfulness? by Ajahn Sona 📚

This book ended on such a high note that I am biased and putting it at 5 stars. I read it over a very long time—it was my “late night can’t get to sleep” book — but as soon as finishing I thought “I can’t wait to read this again.”

Cover of Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick

Finished Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick 📚

Solid intro. Shoulda read this when it first came out. Probably woulda given it more stars. It is very short, and touches on a lot of very deep issues, which is useful for the complete novice, but will be unsatisfying for anyone looking for real answers.
