Motorsports, travel, and random photos from around the world. Rally driver, car #91 in ARA National L2WD. Life is too short to just sit around and wait.

Waiting for takeoff

Killing time before taking off to Switzerland for a work trip.

Hacking the first Chromebook

Figuring out how to compile a Gameboy emulator on the original Chromebook. Harder than you'd think - but we were ultimately successful!

Dreamquiz, an early iPad trivia game

An early attempt at iPad development from when I was sick for weeks with nothing else to do.

Business cards that say 'myGengo' and my title.

My first Japanese business cards

During my time with myGengo, it was frankly hard to describe exactly what I did: there was a bit of core engineering, a bit of developer relations/outreach, and more. Business cards ("meishi", 名刺) still have more use in Japan than the west, and so when the topic of mine came up, I just told them to give me the title of "alchemist" because I couldn't think of anything else.

Thanks to my buddy Tim for this photo.

A long birthday night

I was exhausted. Credit for this photo goes to my buddy Tim.

Birthday burritos

Coworkers surprising me with burritos from Libre Burrito in Tokyo (the original Omotesando one, when it was good). Since I moved to Tokyo from San Francisco, I was still on a massive burrito kick... but good burritos are tricky to find in Tokyo. When Libre Burrito started, they were in a metal container in Omotesando and were much closer to what you'd find in San Francisco... but they eventually changed, like most places in Tokyo do. Great memories here.

Rainy day in Omotesando backstreets

Tokyo in the rain has always been a weirdly comforting vibe for me. This is one of the earliest photos I have where I attempted to capture it. It's nothing particularly special to most people, but it definitely places me in a specific frame when I look back.

D1 GP Odaiba

The format of this spot as a venue is, to this day, still incredible.

My old running path

Spent a lot of time running up and down this stretch. Back in ~2010/2011, it was filled with tons of smaller shops and cafes.

Presenting on Wii.js

Yeah, this photo is archaic - but I kept it around for sentimental reasons. Was by no means my best presentation, but it was cool to showcase a JavaScript library I'd written for a somewhat unconventional device (at the time).
