This dude was intently focused on remaining motionless for the duration of my lunch break.

"Reddit says RSS has now become a “common surface for large-scale scraping and automated abuse,” which is why it’s made the decision to wind down RSS feeds on its platform." Reddit is killing RSS feeds and ending public API access because of AI bots techcrunch.com/2026/09/30/r...

I created an app titled 🪷 Lotus Pond Reader to help me to practice reading and understand Taiwanese Mandarin. It uses Gemini to generate stories with pronunciation and translation, and realistic text-to-speech. Grab the Android APK, web version, or source here: 👉 github.com/sanbeiji/lotus-pond

There is this well-known curse where if you take the cushions out of storage and put them on the outdoor furniture, it will rain. Here in California today, Monday, June 8th 2026, is no exception.

On arrival in London, I made some substantial updates to my ridiculous Shakespearean Insult Machine: github.com/sanbeiji/lot... A few days later in the Westminster Abbey gift shop, I found this sheet of magnetic Shakespeare insult magnets. If this isn't divine providence, I don't know what is.

Ready to see and hear the opera Samson et Dalila by Camille Saint-Saëns at the Royal Opera in London.

This was a nice roundup by Philipp Lackner of all the new Android developer announcements from last week. AI APIs, Compose-first, adaptive, etc. #androiddev youtu.be/yY428I0iw_A?...

Happy Google I/O week.

Just realized my first GitHub repo was created on 2009-01-31: A LilyPond project to arrange an easy violin and double bass duet of "Turkey in the Straw", which I arranged so my kid and I could play it!! github.com/sanbeiji/tur...

This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. 🤣 youtu.be/JDy6UrHittQ?...

Spent last Saturday playing chamber music with friends: Excellent arrangement of Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No.2 for string quintet and piano soloist.

Donald Trump: he‘s just like us (losing his mind at the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions and posting his way through the emotional turmoil)

Congratulations to Hungary for having achieved the removal of Viktor Orban— excellent news. Best of luck to Péter Magyar.

It is stunning that we just sent four astronauts around the moon and back with an amazingly successful mission, and all you’ve heard out of the White House is BS about bombing Iran and now the Epstein Files. youtu.be/Ua0d7xnPUzo?...

Big poofy clouds.

Today East Bay Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan introduced the "E-Bike Accountability Act", proposing mandatory registrations & license plates for all Class 2 & 3 e-bikes. Learn more & join us in opposition to this counter-productive proposal by signing our petition at bikeeastbay.org/SayNoToEbike...

Just launched: ML Kit GenAI Speech Recognition API for Android. 🚀 Transcribe audio content to text on-device. developers.google.com/ml-kit/genai...

Thinking a lot about this clip from Steve Jobs, where he likened the computer as a "bicycle for the mind". I think of #AI like this; it is a tool to help me think faster, to get things done faster, to spark new ideas faster. AI is absolutely a continuation of Jobs' assertion. youtu.be/NjIhmzU0Y8Y 🚲

"What we are watching right now is a set of leaders behaving as if reality is optional, as if the goal is not to understand what happened but to establish dominance over the narrative as quickly and as forcefully as possible." youtu.be/FyStPztM7eo?...

Street blues, Las Vegas Strip. These guys sounded fantastic.

Ok I promise no more #GodotEngine 'watch-dev' after this one.... For at least a day. Playing with flow fields again 😄

Libraries are alive y'all. Boston Public Library Reading Room.

Today I learned: For pinyin Mandarin input on Android, you have to type a "v" in place of ü to get the right candidates to show up, e.g. 旅遊 (Lǚyóu). How did I not ever know this??

I have wanted to see this phenomenon my entire life.

Lawrence O'Donnell argues Johnson loses because his bill won't pass and the Epstein files will resurface in the House. Sober and reasoned. youtu.be/Eqe0Suhoats?...

Last week we added the ability to send custom multimodal requests to Gemini Nano w/ the GenAI Prompt API, for more flexibility & control when building on-device AI. Check it out! Press release: android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/10/ml-k... Developer guide: developers.google.com/ml-kit/genai...

Feral Pear Butter from the Oak Rock Animal Preserve. They put out a bunch of products for sale by the Finley Road Trailhead. I ride my mountain bike past this spot all the time, and finally stopped to purchase something. The wild pear logo is too cute!

Mike Johnson and the rest of the obtuse GOP fat cats in Washington are completely out of touch with the American people. Their idea of patriotism is supine acquiescence to authoritarian rule, and they react like spoiled babies when challenged. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A Reddit mod has spent years tearing down the coding bootcamp space, relentlessly attacking the leading bootcamp: Codesmith. This is, by far, the most fucked up thing I've seen on Reddit: larslofgren.com/codesmith-re...
