One neat trick on my Nothing Phone 3a is that on the Nothing OS, you can take a screenshot with a three finger swipe down.

A week ago I posted about how I recreated a CMS system that sits on top of my Obsidian vault.

Shane Reustle and I have been organizing a meetup called Geo Tokyo.

I was a big fan of the CONTROL game several years ago and was really excited to learn this year that they would release the sequel to the game, CONTROL RESONANT.

This morning I was able to take apart my Steam Machine and swap out a 512 SSD for a 2TB SSD within 10 minutes!

Every thing I build leads to another two ideas that I want to pursue.

Content on my website liquidx.net is backed out of my Obsidian Vault.

Spent a few hours polishing a new screensaver feature on my home control panel using Claude Fable 5.1.

One of the most visible things in this FIFA World Cup are the pink shoes.

I built the finance app of my dreams with Claude Code.

I'm not sure what I'm doing with these notes, are they blog posts or social media posts?

It's been two months since I left my job.

I decided to revisit an old project of mine, rendering train lines in Japan.

I had an idea about creating a browser that doesn't use the internet.

I'm making some big changes to how the internals of my blog works.

Using AI coding agents is a little like using a dishwasher.

Finally deleted all my tweets from Twitter.

Have any of you wondered why island is not pronounced is-land?

After 6863 days, yesterday was my final day at Google.

I thought it would be fun experiment to build a terminal inside my own website and use it as a navigation UI.

Snowline is a passion project of mine that has been going on for the past three years.

Today I learned that Github Packages is not free for private packages.

This was a day of highs and lows.

We got more snow in the afternoon after we left, so we though that Sugi would have another powder day.

It was January, and a proper Japow day.

Recounting my third day at Kagura.

It's a sort-of-powder-day!

A warm up trip before the main part of the season.

I’m back at the snow this year, and back writing about my meanderings in the white stuff.

Continuing my adventures in learning about Machine Learning.

I’m writing this from Tohoku, those snowy and cold prefectures at the northern tip of Honshu (main island).

Now that the light is attached the mountain, when rendering the grid of mountains, it should be lit nicely.

I wanted to attach the light to the mountain and place it relative to the mountain rather than the whole scene.

I want to try making the rectangular mountain areas to be circular.

I managed to write a pretty rudimentry box packing algorithm that laid boxes out from the top and pushing boxes up into the gaps where it would fit.

Fixed some fallout from my refactoring from a few days where I made the mountain rendering code work across a few different projects.

Some nights when I can’t get to sleep, I think about hard problems until I fall asleep.

Refactoring day.

Data day.

Tidy up day.

I worked a bit more on making the tree placement better.

Yesterday I thought I’d use a particle system to draw the trees.

#Published It is pretty much the end of the snow season, but I can still reminisce about some ski resorts I’ve been to this year.

I didn’t like the cone shaped trees I had, so I drew some in Blender and exported out as GLTF.

I started to draw lift lines and trees on to the mountain, so it looks more interesting and informative.

Back to rendering mountains today.

In Snow Map there are some resorts with missing elevation and area info.

The rectangular tiles look a little weird because I rotate the tile so that the angle of the slope is always 135º — but the rectangular box itself is clipped along the latitude longitude lines.

Last week, I posted a photo of a set of 40 mountains rendered in 3D.

Fixing some bugs with the renderer discovered when trying to render Hakkoda (by request).
