2026 Target

2025 Target

Happy New Year !

Recently I only update this blog once a year with my target. Not sure what is best way to maintain persona blog space since there are so many alternatives in internet world. Also due to AI era, this sentence might be written by AI some case, then what kind of value would be on this page…. Its’s just kidding.

Anyway before going to make new target for 2025, let me look back 2025 with original target.

Well kept two targets, continues to practice violin and cycling. As of violin, practicing score are finally reached to middle level. And I could aware that differences between higher price bow and current one (cheaper one). I’m planning to get upgraded violin and bow soon or later to be next level! 
Also changed the style to ride from out side to indoor gym for winter and hot summer. then easily kept up the having of riding regardless place.

Problems (English Vocabulary) has not been well solved yet. need to consider the way to improve. 
Knowledge-wise, a bit extended graphic pipeline gy getting help from LLM. Thanks for LLMs. It helps a lot to learn with some code levels and technique.  But this is not for only me, entirely and dramatically impacting to industry and daily working in IT industry. There are many news about lay off due to replacing to AI. Still doubting the news since it’s hard to fully replace human to AI in any places. but it has a big potential to do it in future.  I need to consider how I can survive in the era.

A big getting longer look back, now it’s time to start about goal in 2026.

Keep

  • Keep momentaim for Cycling and Violin Lesson

Problems 

  • English speaking skill enhancement will be continued. need to find way which is well matched with my learning style. 

Try

  • Explore how I can survive under AI era. Even thouge the situation will continually be changing.  need to fine better way. Relatively bigger topic. 
  • Spend a bit time for my son. * since he will try junior high school entrance exams.

Wish new year would be fruitful for all of you! 

2025 Target

This is a regular post for me to start new year. Usually writing just before opening new year. This year is same, now 23:30 31th Dec 24.

Keep

  • Re-started violin lesson finally. Even time could be allocated to practice is limited, but I will continue to do. My goal for this is  to play The Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043. still not sure when I can play this. but never give up!
  • Challenged cycling event in Shimanani 2024 as I posted to here. a bit challenging to keep motivation in Winter and Summer, instead of outside ride, try to go indoor ride in Gym as much as possible.

Problem

  • Even I wrote this in 2024 target, but could not make a good progress in 2024. Still sometime feels not enough vocabulary in English conversation, especially with English native colleagues. as business conversation, no issue for me and business, but I would like to use more natural phase in any case. I know it’s a bit touch for non-native people, but it’s worth to try. 

Try

  • As part of my business, I would like to try new things what I can do right now. Not only for learn uncovering technology, also explore new way to spread technologies to more friends. 

Since recently well busy, no waste time in my daily life, so it’s not easy to do more new thing, so will brash up and enhance what I’m doing now as continued  challenges to be next stage. 

One of the new challenge ever before

Since our life has been backing to normal like before covid 19, so working in office, having drinking after work, traveling world etc. One of the habit I got during covid 19 is road bike cycling that I started when I lived in Singapore. It must help to keep my heath. 

Because weather in Japan is very widely changed as season, it’s not easy to maintain my motivation to keep riding in Summer and Winter…. Also backing to normal life, gradually getting far from riding life. 

But luckily got chance to join “CYCLING SHIMANAMI 2024” which is International casual cycling event on a world-class cycling course. I cycled around the area in 2021, but it’s first time  for me to join the such kind of cycling event. Even it’s not racing, there are some time limitation since we can ride on expressway around Shimanami islands. I felt some pressure by time limitation, but successfully passed all of the gates and accomplished the course (65km from Imabari to Mukaishima) with my bike (Bianch Olter XR3).

It’s so valuable experience and fully enjoyed expressway ride with magnificent scenery around Shimanami islands.

Sakura Season

It’s season for Sakura (Cherry blossoms). In Tokyo, unfortunately raining day  has been continued after cherry blossoms started. So it’s a bit tough to see sakura in peak time, but I could captured some good sights in several place. 

  • Meguro River (Tokyo)
  • Roppongi Midtown(Tokyo)
  • Hanaki River (Hiratsuka, Kanagawa pref)

I picked up some to here, hope you can enjoy seasonal awesome and fantastic sakura photos.

Speaker on M2 MBA

After a few weeks, I realised sound quality of M2 MacBook Air is relatively great than M1 MacBook Air. Somehow sounds are coming from monitor. I was surprised to see build in speaker on M2 MacBook Air are at hinge as attached photo.
That’s why I felt that sounds are coming from monitor, it means the sound from speaker has been reflected on monitor. 

At same time, number of build in speaker are double (from 2 to 4) and are supporting Dolby Atoms. Playing some music on Apple Music are compatible with Dolby Atoms. So I could feel good quality sounds as spatial one.
