We've been to Yosemite National Park during the Memorial Day holidays two years in a row. Yosemite discloses different appearances throughout the year, but May is often regarded as the best time due to its abundant water. That's why we visited on Memorial Day last year

Now it is my annual ritual to complain online-only WWDC. Four years have passed since the last in-person WWDC (2019). I'm so sorry that I couldn't complain about sad bagels - bagels without the toaster. However, the "no innovations at WWDC" phrase wouldn'

In another post, I mentioned separating my personal computer environment from the company's one when I bought Miorine (my M2 Max MBP). I also set up my private development environment with Neovim because I thought using my company's JetBrains licenses on my personal laptop was inappropriate.

The iPhone boasts several lesser-known features and one of my favorites is the "Silence Unknown Callers." It silently declines the call if the caller is not in my Contacts. Yes, I have a chance to miss a call, but they will leave a voice message if it is

Ruf was designated for assignment and declined a minor league assignment, becoming a free agent. He was subsequently signed by the Brewers. I hoped he went to the minor and would have a chance as a Giant. But a young Casey Schmitt's brilliant performance might have taken his

Last week, I was most intrigued by PBS Terra's video titled "What is the RISKIEST Region in the US as the Climate Change?" TL; DR: the Bay Area is relatively safe, but the southern US - Arizona, Texas, and Florida would get more and more dangerous.

Yesterday, one of my colleagues said that he had tried to build a pergola in his backyard, but he learned that he needed a permit from the city as the structure could be seen from outside his home. I won't disclose the city (at least, it's

My daughter (8th Grader) is in the school symphonic band for one of her elective courses. The band is primarily for enjoyment, instead of striving for professional competition, which may be the impression given after watching the Sound! Euphonium anime. However, there is one time of year when I feel

Watching a walk-off win, by the walk-off homer, at 2 outs in the 9th bottom is always thrilling. Giants extend the winning streak since my last visit to the ball park. Go Giants! P.S. I don't understand why MLB (and NFL, and probably NBA) prevents embedding of

The start of the Giants 2023 is not smooth, with many on the IL. But, as always, the early season is the period to assess, and I hope the team will find the answer soon. Luckily, I could buy some good value tickets before the season and made my first

Every Bay Area news station (probably all California's also did) seemed to say about this year's super bloom in California. Although we saw a glimpse of it in Pinnacles, we thought that it could be a big reward for having the unusual atmospheric river of this
