Used to be that my iPhone had a dungeon folder of Apple apps I’d never use. Then they fixed that! Now I have a dungeon area on my watch only with no folder.

Forget Qi, I want a phone that can recharge from the AED machines in airports.

Anyone have a guess for macOS 10.15’s name? I’m going with “Salton Sea”.

Astronomers took a photo of a black hole so I’m wondering if they can find a bunch of Radars I filed with Apple.

The elevator at work got stuck for a while this morning and the building staff apparently rebooted it. Now I’m hoping it’s not on the internet somehow.

🆘 Red alert! 🆘 The family whose kids kept me awake for the entire flight to Tokyo are on my return flight!

I guess who am I to talk when I just spent my last Yen on Kit Kats. http://www.atomicbird.com/share/Photo-2019-04-01-16-47-7yznhdUFADKyEoF65zAu.JPG

It’s that time in travel when I’m embarrassed by the other Americans at the airport.

So long, Kyoto. http://www.atomicbird.com/share/Photo-2019-04-01-11-40-Gw4xjZ1hla8zuNSj5R2a.JPG

Success! Not many tourists get the experience of visiting the service department at Bic Camera.

Also I don’t have much time because I have a train to catch.

The next part of my Japanese adventure is trying to return a defective item to an electronics store.

OMG apparently it’s cosplay night in Kyoto

If you ever find yourself in Kyoto, go here and eat all the ramen. https://www.kyoto-ramen-koji.com/english/index.html

“Abnormal occurrence in the toilet”. Great potential album name. http://www.atomicbird.com/share/Photo-2019-03-30-22-44-ANmr1JEQWpk829Z4h2ig.JPG

Any time I visit a city with a subway, I ride it. Tokyo’s are the best I’ve seen. Kyoto’s are a very close second. Paris and London, both excellent. New York, where I first rode subways as a kid, is sadly nowhere near the top.

This app is great for finding really good coffee in unfamiliar places.

“CAUTION! The Monkeys.” Or, “American tourist attacked by monkeys while attempting to take picture of ‘caution monkeys’ sign”. http://www.atomicbird.com/share/Photo-2019-03-28-22-18-l1pU3505FAr4Jpokesiz.JPG

I’ve seen a couple of mock VW busses in Kyoto. I think this is actually a Suzuki kei van. http://www.atomicbird.com/share/Photo-2019-03-28-22-14-VHoMkQHyQ0Ob2dEPPSZD.JPG
