The Week #232
by James- ๐ฉบ I went in for my annual health check. Frequent readers might realize it's actually my second one this calendar year. But it's my first fiscal year (April - March). Good news is that it went well. All of my numbers were in within range. I even got a "wonderful" from the old doctor at the end. Since it was on offer, I finally got around to getting my flu vaccine as well.
Unrelated to my health check above, I got a Garmin Index S2 smart scale. I wanted a way to automatically track my weight and bmi (and muscle mass, fat percentage is a bonus). A year or two(!) back I made a way to track my weight into Tanzawa, and while it was easier than a google sheet, it's still something I've got to manually type in.ย I must say, it is really nice to be able to just hop on the scale, get off, and it goes into Garmin/Apple Health. - ๐๏ธ We went and saw Moana 2 over the weekend. The movie itself was good. I think I liked the music from the first one more, but the story itself was solid. It was our first evening movie together as a family and my first time seeing a movie at the new shopping center that opened near our house. We're close enough to the city center that kids movies are shown in English with subtitles and dubbed versions, rather than just dubbed.
Leo seems to get confused about his English ability. He thinks he's like the rest of the kids in his class, when that isn't the case. He doesn't realize that all of his classmates could not just casually go and watch a movie in English and understand it all. Good news is, he spoke a few more words of English in the car after the movie. Really need to find a way for him to spend weeks abroad in an English environment... - ๐ฆ Last week I created an account on BlueSky. I'm still not certain if I like it yet. Discover feels full of the outrage posts I do not miss from Twitter. I am glad I can disable re-posts (like I do on Mastodon) to keep the most sensational stuff out my feeds. As I reckon I'll use it at least in the medium term, I felt like I should make it as easy to post to from my site as Mastodon is. So now Tanzawa has a button just below to the Send to Mastodon Button that Sends to Bluesky.

The Week #231
by James- ๐ For the first time in what feels like forever we went to Enoshima with Sophie and she was excited to get out of the neighborhood and sniff the salty air.
When we got close to the beach she started pulling on her leash and when we finally let her off for a minute and out came the puppy zooms, great fun. Hard to believe she's 12. Leo had the time of his life getting his feet wet and running from the waves. Sunny days where we visit the beach always makes me feel grateful for my family and the life we've built together. Fitting given it was the week of Thanksgiving.Sophie at Mos Burger - ๐บ I started watching The Diplomat on Netflix. Very good and recommended. Reminds me how I once considered working for the State Department when I was in college. The reason I didn't was I knew that, despite speaking Japanese, it would be unlikely I'd be put in Japan. How different life would have been...
- ๐ฆ I've joined Bluesky. I'm not entirely sure how (if) I'll use it, but fomo strikes again. I have yet to post anything to it. That it seems to have a nice open API is interesting to me, but I can also lean on my existing Bridgy integration to quickly / easily add cross posting ability.
