@GregAtkinson_jp Nothing better than a local izakaya fresh made drink. Hopi set next?

LA friend also gave me a copy of one of my fave 80s HC albums

@hizaga Your mom had excellent taste!

LA presents from a friend today....viva Raymond Pettibon!

[Immanuel Martin @immanueljmartin]

@hizaga Yeah I was pretty surprised. Last time I saw one was in front of the Salvation Army in San Bruno in the bay. Older couple inside of a mint one....guessing they were original owners

@BlackManJapan2 There's a nice craft beer place on the south side, Sakamichi brewing. I think they opened an annex somewhere else in Tachikawa as well.

@phx787 So true. RIP.

A culture day walk in west Tokyo

@rojishi3 Loved the sanshin building. So much charm and was worth preserving. Such a shame Mitsui Fudousan was so determined to demolish it. With a little more vision it could have been incorporated into the new development

@hopigon それ、サンフランシスコの1906年当時のクリフ・ハウスを彷彿とさせますね。

Checking in on Koenji...all seems okay.

Fall is definitely here in Tokyo. A few pics from a walk through Inogashira Kouen this evening.

@dieworkwear The tailor and Hollywood studio costumer, Macintosh Studio Clothes, was very popular in the Filipino community in the 1930s/40s. Also a favorite of actor George Raft. Considered some of the holy grail of classic vintage menswear. They had excellent taste.

@BlackManJapan2 Hope its 3 or more!

Cool project

Introducing "Train of Thoughts". 🚆

TOT is my new Interactive Scene. A train that travels forever through a procedural isometric city built in real-time 3D, but with a twist. 👁️

Each carriage holds a different relationship with time: "Past", "Present", or "Future" (plus the Motorman's Cabin). Inside, every character has a small story, a thought they’re carrying on the journey.

Everything is generated via code and rendered in real-time within the browser. Zero images or external assets used.

At a moment when AI can solve so much of the technical work, creativity matters more than ever.
The challenge for me remains the same: make something unique. 🫡

Made with gpt-astra (mostly, Sol for a few things), three.js + Anatomy.

A quick demo 👇

@RetroBayArea Had such a blast at The Castro Halloween party in 2000/2001. Miss it immensely

We have Louis Sullivan's final building in the neighborhood, and it is calls out daily, "LOOK AT ME! I AM THE RECORD THAT MUST BE SURPASSED"
