Photo of a dark blue-colored shimekazari hung on a window.

Picture Post: More shimekazari hung up yesterday, this one in the home office. If you’re wondering what they are, they’re traditional Japanese New Years decorations that traditionally would actually go above a door. I don’t think the apartment would like me putting a nail in the hallway wall though… They’re primarily made of hemp and rice straw, which does make them a bit fragile and definitely not cat proof.

Picture Post: Not that I think there was ever any real debate over Apple‘s ability to build, or at least source, an incredible display, but it is just astonishing how much better the Liquid Retina XDR is over the TV I’ve been using for years with the Studio (with the equally nonsensical name of 43UH6100-UH from LG). It’s not actually as blue as the photo makes it, but it’s color quality definitely isn’t even remotely close.
