Pouring rain π§οΈ so couldn’t get you a pic of Ikoma mountains which look amazing from my apt… so I went to the Ancient Mexico exhibit and got this ziggurat. See more pics: www.flickr.com/photos/sa…

So, besides showing googly-eyes π at the X100vi I have also been watching vids about the new Supernote (since I want an eInk tablet for reading papers) and been looking On1 vs Capture 1 as a Lightroom replacement. Feels like a whole new generation shift for personal kit π· π π¨βπ¨
It was a nice blue sky this morning around Umekita before the ι»η yellow dust came in from the Gobi desert and clouded things up.

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.

Day 17: π· transcendence (@drewbelf) #mbApr
You are connected to those in the past, in the present, and the future. You are transcendent.

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. Very happy to share it wide, hoping the seeds sprout into action by the internet-using public⦠which is all of us!
Day 16: π· flΓ’neur (@chrisaldrich) #mbApr
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₯°

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.
