    • Itโ€™s our second Golden Week with a state of emergency. The numbers keep on going up. I wish they'd give half the consideration they're giving for the olympic athletes to the residents of Japan. Weโ€™re trying to keep close to the house as best we can.
    • That said, I am spending time on my bicycle. I peddled to Enoshima and back (about 35km round trip). I know I've been talking about my bike a lot recently, but it's been a revelation. Like many Americans I stopped riding my bike in high school. Not only as I got a license, but the the suburbs in Houston are so spread out / bike unfriendly (unless you want to get hit by a pick-up truck the size of an elephant) that people naturally stop.ย 
    • I made some good progress on Tanzawa so far as well. I've built and launched my file browser. It shouldn't be too difficult to hook this in to Trix (the editor I use to write posts) so you could insert an existing photo into a post without re-uploading it.
    • Leo's wearing undies during the day. He's had two accidents thus far, but he's getting better at it. Thankfully neither accident was in public nor over the tatami floors.

    Listening 70โ€™s rock on the radio in the car with Leo takes me back to being a kid driving around with my dad in SoCal.

    Working on the delete pattern in Tanzawa using TurboFrames. Clicking the delete link on the file detail window replaces the content with a confirmation dialog. Since we don't want to have dead image tags everywhere, it also provides a list of posts that will be updated. Clicking the post title opens the post in a new window.

    Planted some tomatoes, shishito, bell peppers, and corn seeds today. Only planted the corn because Leo insisted we get it. I know "life finds a way", but given my lack of green thumb, I'll hope for the best, but expect nothing.

    When Basecamp launched Hey, I really liked the philosophy and design of the system. But I wasnโ€™t sold on using their domain. Gladย  I stuck with Fastmail.

    Lunch for when I get home.
    Excellent bakery in Fujisawa.

    So many delicious breads. Each cream bread had a different bear drawn on it.

    Human powered trip to the beach. Took about an hour without really pushing it.

    I started working on the basic file management interface for Tanzawa. Right now it's quite basic. Clicking any image in the grid will pop up a modal with a larger version, links to the posts it's used in, and meta information.
