The cauliflower I had at dinner reminded me of an 80s action movie, so I had AI make a nice little throwback. 

As a dorky bald man with facial hair, maybe avoid trying to sell the dorkiest looking accessory ever created by having the model be a dorky bald man with facial hair.

I LOL whenever I see these stupid new glasses from Snap or FB or whatever. Reminds me of the guys back in the day who thought they were cutting edge by lugging around an early "laptop". Maybe in 5 years the tech will catch up so they don't look so staggeringly dorky, but until then...yikes.

The dangers of using a search window to find your Thai colleagues on a list, and then not clearing the search window.

Nice 40K bike ride the other day, a quick burn around the pathways near Rama 2. 

What could go wrong?

I don't get airbnb. I've stayed in a handful and they have always been more expensive, unpredictable and less reliable than getting a normal hotel. That's not even taking into account the corrosive effect they have on local economies.

If you see this, post your mentor.

Totally loving Widows Bay on Apple TV. Extremely quirky mix of comedy and horror; some parts are downright creepy and unnerving, while others – sometimes the very next scene – are laugh out loud funny. Great cast too.

London billboards speak for all of us, honestly. Carry on. 🇬🇧

Been coming to this place for 25 years, still looks exactly the same. If it ain’t broke…

At this point I can't imagine why anyone would use FB as anything other than a distraction while sitting in a doctor's office. An annoying, pointless wasteland, a social network turned into an ad-serving platform. They should change the tagline to "You might even see a post from someone you know!"

Watched The Goonies with my 11yo tonight. It’s an absolute classic in my mind, but he was pretty underwhelmed. I realized that him watching it in 2026 is like me, when The Goonies came out, watching a movie made in 1944.

“This government waiting room is just inches away from hell, I bet I know what everyone would like - Thai soap operas full of screaming fights and rape scenes turned up to 11 through shitty blown-out speakers.”

Really enjoyed both seasons of The Pitt - super intense, well-crafted medical drama, but it's also a depressing indictment of American healthcare and culture as a whole. A few bright souls fighting against a system that's crumbling under its own weight.

"Awww, someone's never been locked in a dog crate and thrown overboard for displeasing the sheik." Happy that 30 Rock is now on Netflix, probably the highest joke-per-minute show in history.

This is pretty funny, but note that it took THREE people to stop the thing, and it was doing a cute dance. Imagine if one came sprinting around the corner with a gun in its hand and its instructions that were less cute.

Currently in the third level of Hell renewing my driving license, but on a positive note my ticket number spells out ‘boobs’.

Was super psyched for this but hated the animation style and voice acting. Watched 2 episodes and lost interest.

Told AI to make a Thai astronaut on Mars. Did not disappoint.

Controversy over bum guns? More proof that the west is a savage, lawless hellscape.

If you connect your TV to the internet, it’s game over. TVs should sit there dumb as a brick until told what to do, like me when I was a kid.

Managed to struggle through the final episodes of Stranger Things. Man, what a slog. 1.5 hours of content spread across like 14 hours of television. Repetitive, boring, derivative, nonsensical, sloppy, pointless.

Visited the historic Sala Chaloem Thani theater today which was built in 1918, closed in 1993, and was recently renovated by the Thai Film Archive. Today they showed a documentary on the Lumiere brothers, who invented cinema technology. Amazing place.

Excommunication has always seemed funny to me. It's like being told you're not allowed into the Faerie Guild or the Tooth Fairy Union.

This actually made me laugh out loud. Absolutely incredible to see what you can do and how far you can rise when you have no shame at all.

Pro tip: When setting a reminder asking ChatGPT to analyze some data, think about the word spacing before coworkers see your lock screen.

My son was on a website today looking at the contact info for some company. He pointed at a word and said "What's this?" Fax.

This makes sense to me. Can’t for the life of me figure out why this archaic, cheesy, outmoded spectacle is still taken seriously.

Stealing this idea immediately. Or have I stolen it already?

Fun times today at the Surin elephant festival. Magnificent to see so many of these things up close, never fails to take my breath away.

Rewatching Heat. Can’t think of many other movies where every single performance, right down to the single-scene bit players, is so thoroughly riveting and essential to the plot. Masterpiece.

Jesus Christ.

Super cool. Reminds me of the time my Grandma created the "Best Grandson in the World Prize" and - you'll be shocked - I won.

Man, what a slog it was setting up my son's PC vs setting up a Mac. Endless permissions windows, telling countless MS programs to go away over and over again, pointless bloatware, annoying stickers...what a headache. Windows is an OS for masochists and little kids.

Boo, Drew Struzan died. His art was all over my walls for my entire childhood.

I really enjoy Bluesky, even though the Thai-based peeps are super limited. I mostly use it to keep up on world news, but the more I read about the world news, the less I want to know about world news. Yikes.

Gonna keep this handy for when my son says he doesn't like school.

💯 I love sleeping, but I hate going to bed.

Rafting in Chiang Mai was a little bit more intense in spots than I had planned for. Filming with my new iPhone 17 made it even more nerve-racking.
