@chadkoh.com I am also surrounded by shoeboxes and am known as the family genealogist. I wrote about my first trip to London last month feeling a connection to my Great-Grandfather who came over to Canada as an orphan at age 7 as labour. I think about legacy a lot.

@chadkoh.com My own father was semi-literate. He would walk the dog early in the morning at the local running track. I gave him an easy to use voice recorder and asked him to tell me the story of his life.
Later, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung cancer, and died just 6 days later. That audio is precious.
@chadkoh.com And finally, as a nearly 50 year old with a bad memory, I have forgotten a lot. I post lots, but also journal every day (in Obsidian Mike! 😉). My Flickr is the way I look up things that happened years ago to jog my memory… and my wife and I browse it occasionally for fun.
@chadkoh.com All these little stories aside, I do not feel I have the storage and memory problem solved. Flickr, a 4-bay Synology, and my wife as an iOS Legacy Contact, don’t feel sufficient. How are those alien archeologists of the future going to know how we lived around the turn of the 21st century, TRULY!? 👽
@shannonvallor.bsky.social Amazing book. Yea!
@hyl.st Happy birthday! 🥳 🎈 🎂
@sinalana.bsky.social @sherif.eurosky.social @sebastian.eurosky.social where is the best place to get Lana some help?
@sherif.eurosky.social Private data can’t come soon enough!
@chadkoh.com Thanks to our local correspondent @matheus23.com in GERMANY for letting me know 😅
@hacdias.com Haha let’s turn this into a sweets thread! 🍡
@danhon.com ngl this looks like witchcraft
@deamplified.com I would love to see them animated and 3D… like rotating until you can read the actual letterform. Would make a cool motion graphic (probably terrible for legibility but… )
@wesinjapan.bsky.social Undergrad 01, got the job at Rits, Master 08, had to return to Apple Store Nagoya since there were no jobs in Canada and they would take me as 正社員
@deamplified.com The lined version looks great!
@nichoth.com Brilliant. I feel every few years an article like this comes out just to remind us how things are fuct up, and often it is in Harpers.
@manton My fav of all the Ghibli films, even outranks Totoro 🧹🐈⬛🎀

@norman.life I have an Aranet too. +1 to “self-imposed anxiety”! 😂
@chadkoh.com Yes I was not expecting to tear up at the end and I definitely think the drugs had worn off by then!
@chadkoh.com Not sure why @micro.blog chose all the VIDEO thumbnails for this cross-post? 🤔🤔🤔

@itsquinns.bsky.social Well, it was a great review so I will just watch it about 400,000 times to recover those views 👍
@chadkoh.com What did you get? 😃
A bunch of friends did it and the spread is like 13-16… and we are all nerds… but NOT Tolkien nerds I guess 🤷♂️
@ruperts.world Let me just check my Obsidian…
The answer is “Yes”

@moja.blue Classic album!
@shiawase I’ve only been to about 16 countries, mostly in Asia, but a few in Europe. Travelling to London though felt really different… weirdly nostalgic and …comfortable? It was such an odd feeling, and made me consider my particular upbringing and experience. I have theories… 😊
@shiawase Canadians only really learn about the UK from much later on. And since my grandparents were orphans (brought over for labour) we never had any real cultural connection. I spent all my time learning about Japan! But actually going to the UK awoke a new interest in me.
@shiawase thanks for the recco. Big podcast listener so I will check them out.
@shiawase There is the whole Roman-Britain and Sutton Hoo sections that I found fascinating. I never really had a sense of the layers of history… of who came when etc. Seeing it laid out really helped me get a sense of the full cake. And I realized a ton I never knew (eg Sutton Hoo)
@ctwardy Mine has a removable sword and boot knife, and two tiny red stitches on his neck for… well… when he lost that battle 😅
@gregmoore Whenever we finish a long campaign we do something special too. When we finished Strahd (after 5 years of playing!) our DM commissioned crocheted versions of our characters: flic.kr/p/2pxeX7n
@chadkoh.com I almost made 6 hours but just had to leave to catch my breath. Ended up walking to Leicester Square, then Trafalgar, then down the Mall to Buckingham Palace… glutton for punishment!
@werd.io Well, glad you made it safely. I will be along to our continent in a couple of days. 🤞
