Reflections, and Thoughts from a Creative Technologist Living in Japan
"Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control." — Epictetus

A common debate in AI adoption is whether strong use cases drive adoption or if widespread adoption leads to the discovery of meaningful use cases. While it’s probably a bit of both, many use-cases emerge from an open-minded approach to adoption. I've seen firsthand how resistance to new technology—whether due to skepticism, fear, or habit, can prevent these potential applications from surfacing in the first place.
Bottom line: Waiting for the “perfect” use case before engaging with AI will leave you playing catch-up when your epiphany moment finally happens.

Leica just dropped an interesting new accessory to pair with their Leica Lux app—a MagSafe Bluetooth grip for iPhones, with half-press to focus and function shortcut buttons.
As functional as it looks, I have to wonder: how many people will shell out $329 for it, even with the included one-year Lux app subscription?
If it was a universal grip that I could use with my iPhone and my Android, maybe I would consider it more, but then again, I care a regular camera with me everywhere I go, so it’s probably not for me.
I still love that Leica and others are releasing modern accessories like these.

Common night scenes in Okinawa.
I love how this parking machine anchors the shot, with a bar (izakaya) in the background. Highlight-weighted metering makes shots like this effortless.
This spot used to be packed with popular clubs back in the day.
