December 2025

• Eenewed focus on Rust and AI work.
• Admin continued – immigration paperwork moved forward again.
• Set up multiple Jinny Street Gallery efforts, including the Yu Asobi mini-exhibition at Kosugi-yu Sento and installation work for The Creators’ Club Exhibition.
• Published v0.2 of the Plaintext Commons website.
• Signed The Resonant Computing Manifesto.
• Finally found a use for TRMNL and build an health display plugin for daily weight and trend tracking.
• Learning restoration for in bookbinding practice.
• Invested further into film workflow tooling: acquired scanning lenses and spent time designing and iterating on a VNS (v3.0) adapter and bellows-based scanning setup in CAD; to be published in 2026.
• Closed the year with travel to Hong Kong and a New Year’s countdown with friends.

December was split between maintenance and momentum. Early in the month, lingering sickness and heavy admin (immigration, bank restrictions) competed for attention. At the same time, the health project became more structured: removing sugar first, then moving into a deficit and tracking protein/carbs more deliberately, with the explicit intent of building a dataset worth analyzing later.

The creative work snapped back into place. Shooting became regular again, and editing felt frictionless in a way I’d forgotten. That energy fed into everything else: gallery installs, bookbinding experiments, and a renewed push on the “tools around the practice” layer—Plaintext Commons, the TRMNL dashboard, and the physical design work for film scanning. The month (and the year) ended in Hong Kong. The final sunset of the year was spectacular.
