Remembering Sir Patrick Stewart
In 2005, I watched Sir Patrick Stewart perform from just ten meters away. I still remember his voice. Nothing is forever, and I’m reaching an age of saying goodbye to people I’ve loved. RIP, my captain and professor.
You Can See Everything
The Theranos story should be familiar to most people by now. I had read John Carreyrou's Bad Blood and listened to the audiobook, and both had left a strong impression. (I hadn't watched The Dropout, though.) By the time I saw the trailer for You Can
Orkes Shift '26
At Orkes Shift ’26 in San Francisco, I explored the work behind reliable AI agents: preserving progress, recovering from failures, and waiting for human decisions. How much of that infrastructure might agents eventually build and operate themselves?
Fleet Week SF 2026: A View from Angel Island
The Fleet Week air show has become a family ritual. For years, we have bought premium seats at Marina Green, paying more than $100 for a place close to the action. The seats are good, but they do not come with any authority over Karl the Fog. He spoiled our
Back to Levi's Stadium for a 49ers Game
On September 27, I went to Levi's Stadium with my family to watch the 49ers play the Arizona Cardinals. It was the third game of the season, and my first visit this year. I had skipped last season altogether. With Purdy missing so many games, it had been
Boris Cherny at the Computer History Museum
I ended my previous post about Joanna Stern's book talk with a small resolution: I should use these nearby opportunities more often. Living close to the Computer History Museum only means something if I actually go there. So when I saw that Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude
The Giants' 2026 Season Wrap-up
I went to three home games during the final week of the Giants' season. They lost all three. Each one left me with the familiar feeling that a win had been within reach, and that somehow we had found our way to another loss. The Division Series is getting
Project Hail Mary
Spoiler alert: this post has a weak spoiler of Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. For Ms. Salle's book club this time, we chose Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It was my first time reading one of his books. I had really enjoyed The Martian, another story
Lost and Founder
I usually listen to audiobooks while running. I have been an Audible member since 2010, and in the beginning, following a whole book through audio alone took some effort. It is much easier now. I did not notice the improvement happening from one book to the next, but looking back
Yogurting Re 0.10.0: Particle Effects Return
The previous Yogurting Re update added target dummies and flight paths to the avatar tool. Version 0.10.0, released on September 8, 2026, fills in the next missing layer: the original game's particle effects. 0:00 /0:32 1× 0.10.0 All 154 shipped particle effects
MAMAMOO 4WARD at SAP Center
About ten years ago, when we were still living in Korea, my family went camping on weekends and holidays. Music was always a part when we were on the road. We used Google Music playlists, including one built around the best Korean girl groups, and MAMAMOO was one of the
Yogurting Re 0.9.0: Skills Find Their Targets
In my last Yogurting Re update, I wrote that the biggest remaining gap was targeting. Skill effects played on the character because there was nowhere else for them to go. Version 0.9.0, released on August 30, 2026, closes that gap with target dummies and skill flight paths. 0:
