It was a gorgeous day in Kyoto today. Here are some random snaps from #EverydayKyoto
Today we had lunch at γγ¦γγγ¦γΉ in my old neighbourhood which serves only η²Ύι²ζη vegetarian Buddhist cuisine. As it is spring, there are lots of bamboo shoots in the meal.

You are connected to those in the past, in the present, and the future. You are transcendent.

Rewilding the internet
Tuesday, April 16, 2024
The “internet is not an ecosystem. Itβs a zoo.” Robin Berjon and Maria Farrell not only show how we have arrived at this online monoculture (and the dangers therein), but how we can take steps to seeding more diversity (and therefore resilience) for the good of the whole forest. This article really sums up the work I have been doing over the past couple of years as a sort of armchair internet ecologist.

Daughter got some new kicks and immediately decorated them in her style. She travels at her own pace. πβοΈ
Day 15: π· small (@jmanes) #mbApr
Since I started this April photo challenge my 12 year old daughter has been inspired and has been participating with her iPhone. Today she took a better “small” photo than I did so I am posting hers in lieu of mine (with due credit!) π
The next stop of my (unplanned) specialty coffee tour of Kitahama #Osaka is Brooklyn Roasters, right on the river with a fantastic patio. The shop is a combination coffee βοΈ and flower π shop! Oh the smells! π₯°

This morning when I woke up to gentle sunlight and blue sky coming through my window, while everyone else was still sleeping in, I started A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers π
Day 14: π· cactus (@christopherchelpka) #mbApr
Last Xmas my daughter gave me this little felt cactus to put on my desk so I would have some green around me that wouldnβt die π΅

After finishing off a 250 page notebook, I recently bought a new Leuchtturm1917 in Stone Blue. Also got a new Uni Jetstream Edge in a matching colour. More on journaling: chadkohalyk.com/2021/02/0…

Day 12: π· magic (@DaveyCraney) #mbApr
The cherry blossoms are almost done πΈ! Here are fortune slips that must not have told of the best future, so were left behind.

Day 11: π· sky (@jedda) #mbApr
Today was cloudy, so I decided to go shoot the Umeda Sky Building in the dark for you. Of course, I had to get some sakura πΈ in there. Check the replies for some closeups of the hole that goes to the 40th F roof and daytime shots
