The new eSIM in the iPhone XS has seriously been the best thing to happen to international travel. I just don't have to worry about how/where to get a data SIM anymore, and I have internet immediately when I land. -
welp Lyft is not in Prague, and Uber won't accept my Google Voice number and I don't have access to a regular phone number to sign up, so YOU WIN AGAIN public transit!

oh no I typed an extra zero getting Czech koruna out at the ATM and now I have to spend $400 USD in three days because this currency is useless anywhere else π± -

Seems fitting to be watching an anime about time travel while on the plane back from Japan where I'm traveling back in time.
I'll land in Portland a half hour before I left Tokyo, like the travel never happened! -
Two things that have made getting around #Tokyo extremely easy:
1. Using the eSIM in my iPhone XS to activate a data plan on my phone without having to deal with finding a retail store to buy a real SIM card. Also was surprisingly affordable.
2. Buying a Suica card and transferring it to my iPhone Wallet. The Suica card is used for getting on trains and subways, but also you can pay at vending machines and many retail stores as well! Once you have the card transferred you can top it up via Apple Pay! That means you can get around almost entirely without cash as a tourist!

Just had a brief moment of panic, I coulda sworn I was supposed to be somewhere right now, then I realized I was, in fact, already on the plane.

Everything is fine. Planes can fly with only 1 of 2 engines.

I'm on vacation the next 2 weeks and trying to remember what that means.
Does that mean no talking with my friends on work slack?
No working on side projects that could be considered work if you look at it just right?
Can I still build stuff on my website? π€

Windows 95 implemented in JavaScript: https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows95 π±π€―
I think the scariest thing about this project is how not old Windows 95 feels.
Like I can still smell the shrink wrap on my Windows 95 floppies. -
This is literally whining on the yacht, but this First Class seat in an old Virgin plane has no foot storage, no cupholders, and the seat in front of me is too far away to reach stuff I put in the pocket without unbuckling my seatbelt. π Help me @AlaskaAir you're my only hope. -

I'm on the road and giving talks a lot right now, so I made a video with some tips on how to film your own presentations at meetups! π₯ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD7qmpu96I8&list=PLRyLn6THA5wNL1jYaabM105ta5Fepx5sa&index=2 (I also had some fun filming this in the Chicago snow last month!) βοΈ -
Clearly the universe is conspiring to get me to start the weekend early after this 60-hour week. My home internet went out, and my cell phone tethering stopped working too. π» -

guy sitting next to me at the airport bar was watching videos of trucks at full volume on his phone, so I turned on Avril Lavigne shittyfluted in retaliation, and now the guy next to us hates us both
