It is 10:30AM on July 30th, 2023. There is a morning chill as I swing on the patio in the shade waiting for the sun to warm things up. The fog is sitting just off the coast at a level where it is blocked by Montara mountain and so opens up a nice oasis here…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 7.30.2023

Dream Journal – Fail Math at OSU
I usually keep posts to my dream journal private. This one reoccurs perhaps twice a year for me with some variation and is of the type most people have from time to time. I’m a student again at Ohio State University and everything is fine except for a difficult math class which I also haven’t…… Continue reading Dream Journal – Fail Math at OSU
Worldcoin – World ID
Worldcoin and its World ID launched this week. Another crypto project that I wouldn’t have paid attention to except it is run by Sam Altman, the CEO of Chat GPT. One of the main differences with this one is you have to “verify yourself as human” by getting your retina scanned by an “orb.” Well,…… Continue reading Worldcoin – World ID
Journal Entry – 7.24.2023
After a whirlwind summer that included a trip to Idaho to memorialize by cousin Paul, a trip home to Ohio, two very busy weeks in Japan and then a week of jet-lag induced lethargy I’m feeling good. This was my first really productive day in a while and I got everything accomplished. The first was…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 7.24.2023
Journal Entry – 7.22.2023
It is 10:08 AM on Saturday July 22nd, 2023. The jet-lag has been terrible and I’ve just gotten out of bed. I woke up at 8:30 but then drifted in and out of sleep for the next hour and a half. My first thought after getting out of bed was the noise. We are inundated…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 7.22.2023
Japan – Flying Home
I’m at Narita airport and just sat down at a quiet bar as I’ve got two hours before my flight. Narita seemed dead until a few seconds ago when an older Chinese gentleman started yelling something then a whole school of young Chinese students came in and sat down in this bar. Needless to say…… Continue reading Japan – Flying Home
Japan Trip – Final Days
It has been a complete whirlwind of a trip. I arrived, started a post and here I am two weeks later sitting in Mikkeller in Shibuya all by myself. Today was stressful. I had planned to return to the USA on standby but all flights except for maybe on Delta to Detroit. I didn’t…… Continue reading Japan Trip – Final Days
Japan 2023 – Arrival
It is 8:44 PM in Tokyo, Japan and I’m at one of my usual bars (The Hub Ikebukuro West Exit Park). It is 4:44 AM for my body which still thinks it is in San Francisco. However, I am excited to be back not only in Japan but also in this particular bar. This is…… Continue reading Japan 2023 – Arrival
