Day 24: 📷 light (@eumrz) #mbApr
The cherry blossoms are long gone, so I have not held myself to that rule for the last couple of weeks, but I am glad to get you some cherry blossoms for tonight’s photo 💡🌸
Imagine interacting with your connected notes with a more engaging canvas view… that is programmable! “Visual-Semantic Morphism” is just one thing that came up in this cool presentation from @orion@hci.social

Started listening to The Blade Itself (The First Law #1) by Joe Abercrombie 📚
Recommended by my brother. Been a while since I read a straight forward fantasy in this style. Wanted something I could listen to on the airplane this week.
Well, hello there. 👋 If you don’t mind terribly, I should like to recommend this lovely video essay about Wes Anderson films and living with pain 🥹
Be well! I wish you the very best.
Started listening to Limitarianism: The Case Against Extreme Wealth by Ingrid Robeyns 📚
Chapter notes on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6450313181) and Bookwyrm (https://bookwyrm.social/book/1617013/comment#reviews) if you want to follow along.

Wife left the city for the mountains 🏔️ today. Came home with a giant mushroom 🍄🟫. Broiled it and cracked it open and a long centipede came out!! 🐛😱 Children are mortified and have sworn off food “for at least a week”! 😂
Day 23: 📷 dreamy (@maique) #mbApr
Love this local flower shop overflowing with leaves and twigs of all shapes and sizes. It makes me think of James C Scott. It also makes me think of my wife, since I buy stuff 💐 for her here.
Store name translates as:
夢 - dream 挿 - to put into a vase 花 - flowers
Just enough capitalism – A quick review of Slow Productivity

Day 22: 📷 blue (@lzbth) #mbApr
A reclining Myaku-Myaku, official character of the Osaka Expo 2025.
(and yes, I know you are wondering but I can confirm he has an eye on his backside)
Just finished: A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers 📚🥰☕️🫖🤖
Day 21: 📷 mountain (@dejus) #mbApr
Pouring rain 🌧️ 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…
Be kind! Forgive yourself! Don’t let things go to your giant Dry Clay Head (Mark Manders, 2015-2016)!

So, besides showing googly-eyes 👀 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 📷 📝 👨🎨
It was a nice blue sky this morning around Umekita before the 黄砂 yellow dust came in from the Gobi desert and clouded things up.

Day 20: 📷 ice (@the) #mbApr
25º in Osaka today. Tea, Waffles, and アイス
I’ve been watching too many Ricoh GRIIIx vs Fujifilm X100vi YouTube videos 😬 😬 😬
It was a gorgeous day in Kyoto today. Here are some random snaps from #EverydayKyoto
Today we had lunch at おてらハウス in my old neighbourhood which serves only 精進料理 vegetarian Buddhist cuisine. As it is spring, there are lots of bamboo shoots in the meal.

Day 19: 📷 birthday (@crossingthethreshold) #mbApr
In Japan orchids like this are usually presented as gifts to celebrate a new shop opening. Happy birthday! 🎈🥳
Visited my friend @hermosawavephotography.com at his Kyotographie exhibition featuring his book “Empty Kyoto”
The exhibit runs until Sunday so get down there to see prints and hear some stories about the photos. hermosawavephotography.com/emptykyot…
