&lt;p&gt;Something that I started doing in 2023 was to DJ in public venues again. &lt;a href="https://www.harlanrecords.com" title="Harlan Records SF Website"&gt;Harlan Records&lt;/a&gt; is a rather handsome bar serving outstanding cocktails off Union Square in San Francisco, California. I'll be DJing there for the fourth time this year. If you're nearby, drop by next Thursday 2023-07-13 for Happy Hour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Harlan Records is at &lt;a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/18+Harlan+Pl,+San+Francisco,+CA+94108/@37.7902283,-122.4049942,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x808580896f762737:0x630adb08ba70abe7!8m2!3d37.7902283!4d-122.4049942!16s%2Fg%2F11fy78vlkn?entry=ttu"&gt;18 Harlan Place, San Francisco, CA&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;</content><category term="misc"/><category term="dj"/></entry><entry><title>Odds and Ends</title><link href="http://yummymelon.com/devnull/odds-and-ends.html" rel="alternate"/><published>2022-09-23T13:19:00-07:00</published><updated>2022-09-23T13:19:00-07:00</updated><author><name>Charles Choi</name></author><id>tag:yummymelon.com,2022-09-23:/devnull/odds-and-ends.html</id><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Dang, &lt;em&gt;nine&lt;/em&gt; years? Some random news about me, maybe I'll delve deeper in future posts.&lt;/p&gt;</summary><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Wow, so much to call out over the past &lt;em&gt;nine&lt;/em&gt; years that I have &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; posted here. It's a bit overwhelming to think on much less capture so I'll make some quick bullet points. Thinking I'll elaborate more on these points in future posts, but we'll see. 😏&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I officially left the employ of &lt;a href="https://tile.com"&gt;Tile&lt;/a&gt; on August 1, 2022. I started there as employee 2 in the summer of 2013 and was their first engineering &lt;a href="http://yummymelon.com/devnull/what-i-did-in-the-summer-of-2013.html"&gt;hire&lt;/a&gt;. I was brought on to architect and write the &lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id664939913"&gt;Tile app for iOS&lt;/a&gt; which was achieved to successful effect.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wow we had a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. It was and still is awful.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bicycling is my primary mode of transportation now.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Combining pandemic living and bicycling, I started routinely posting photos of San Francisco from my bike rides on &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/kickingvegas/"&gt;Instagram/Facebook (Meta)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I use &lt;a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/"&gt;Emacs&lt;/a&gt; and in particular &lt;a href="https://orgmode.org/features.html"&gt;Org Mode&lt;/a&gt; daily. Profoundly life-changing, and that's understating their impact.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In late 2017, I let &lt;a href="https://konmari.com" title="KonMari"&gt;Marie Kondō&lt;/a&gt; in my life and combined with &lt;em&gt;Org Mode&lt;/em&gt;, they markedly improved it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Immersed in DJ culture again (especially thanks to &lt;a href="https://www.twitch.tv"&gt;Twitch&lt;/a&gt;), especially over the past two years. So grateful for my years DJing at &lt;a href="https://www.wtju.net"&gt;WTJU&lt;/a&gt; that started it all.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My French-style omelet game now is undefeated.&lt;/li&gt;
