Me and my little guy watched the final few episodes of Skeleton Crew over the weekend. It is a fantastic show. Perhaps the best Star Wars has been since 'Star Wars'. I think I prefer Andor, for all the reasons, but SC was a real hit. Is this Jude Law's best 'Hollywood' performance?

The quality of these pre-built cut scenes in KCD2 is pretty shocking

Gary and Kit officially kicked off 2025 at our company retreat last week, sharing stories about Clif Bar’s early days & how they brought the same 5 Aspirations Model of doing business to Clif Family. An important reminder of how businesses can lead while taking care of people, planet and community.

@samuelwroberts.bsky.social Just completed your top 10 podcast from the end of the year and highly enjoyed it. Now I cannot wait to put some hours into DD2 (after I've completed Baldurs Gate 3).

Hi BSKY This message is directed to all football leagues and clubs that post highlights to YouTube. Please stop posting the score on the actual thumbnail. Signed, All of us.

Lots of good news today. The kid got into her high school of choice (the #1 school in our province). Divorce was finally complete after a long, drawn out legal process. We've booked two house viewings for Friday/Saturday and are looking to move to a bigger place.

I bought these Tokyo banana kitkats a month ago and I’m taking my time. They are the best Kitkat. Great amount of chocolate and incredible taste. 10/10

Had a lie in for the first time in what feels like weeks. Feel like taking a walk with Jana to Paul and getting an overpriced coffee.

What are the five websites?

I'm wearing my @thesquareball.net Christmas Yeboah jumper for the first time. I got to spend the morning before we went to school with my eight year old son showing him the Yeboah highlights reel. Lovely stuff.

There’s a vibe about The Wire series 2 that hits different. I think it’s because the show starts in the freezing winter. That energy is transferred through all the episodes.

This Oxford side is perhaps the best example of the gulf between top tier championship and lower. Leeds are massively in control and Oxford cannot cope (Now watch for a 62 minute wonder strike from their right winger)

Back home from Japan a couple of days ago. I am literally in mourning. Cannot watch or interact with any Japanese content. Cannot look at my pictures. Refuse to look at the things I bought. I just want to go back. (well, here's one photo)

Current speed (almost 300kph)

Leaving Japan with not a single weeb purchase is the most mature thing I’ve ever done. Wanted to grab Tekken 8 but it’s cheaper at the best buy back home.

Long travel day today. Taking the Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo. Then the train from Tokyo station to Narita. Then flying Narita to Vancouver. Will get home yesterday morning. No plans except to download Indiana Jones and try to stay awake until 11pm PST

Good morning from my Osaka hotel!

The amount of PS1/PS2 era midi Christmas tunes being played in every Japanese airport, konbini and public transport area is crazy. Currently listening to Last Christmas as if it were a village melody from a fondly remembered 2001 RPG.

Mr donut.

Just properly spent my first time in Roppongi Hills and it’s beautiful. It’s nighttime and most people have left for the day but the vibe, the lighting and all of the greenery and trees make it so gorgeous. These massive 50 storey buildings rising up but you feel comfy.

Lived my Yakuza life tonight in Shinjuku. Went for yakitori and sat outside as the train rumbled past. Went to the batting cages. Went for lemon sours at the Lawson. Went to the Arcade to try and win at crane games. Happy boy

Got to take a picture with Verstappen’s championship winning car today randomly. Was just walking to Shibuya and stumbled upon the Honda building with the car sitting in the foyer

Spent the day walking to and around Shibuya. Nothing bought (except some JLeague trading cards!). 20k steps in already and back to the hotel for a Premium Malts and swim in the pool before dinner in Shinjuku.

Breakfast view. High above Tokyo looking out on Skytree

Day 1 in Tokyo. I don’t love that flight. Pretty tough to get through. But feel much better this morning. Up early to help with the jet lag and get on Japan time. Picture dump from yesterday (exclusively from our hotel)

Lovely time at the wrestling tonight

Big weekend. WWE survivor series today with the kids. Flight to Tokyo tomorrow. Two weeks in Japan to follow.

Missed the middle part of the game due a meeting at work but saw both goals and only saw Leeds be the best team in the world with Sam Byram scoring the best goal anyone has ever scored.

Here we go, lads. LUFC on the box, an SEO meeting in 30 minutes, a nice pause during the call and then back into game where hopefully Leeds are beating Luton by 15 goals.

Grabbed myself a new gaming PC last night. I've been wanting to upgrade my 2080 that I've had in my previous Alienware desktop for a month or two now but couldn't find the right price/card. So browsing last night, I saw this complete system for a great price and hit buy. 4K here I come!
