I spend most of my time in the Tokyo area working on websites and playing drums in indie/punk bands.

My daily routine usually involves waking up, putting on a jazz album, drinking espresso, and writing 200 words.

Right now I'm prioritizing drumming and woodblock printing over other distractions. I'm learning woodblock printing techniques and making prints, and focused on developing my early 80s hardcore drumming style while preparing for upcoming shows.

My main musical focus is the band 1000s of cats, which keeps me busy with songwriting and shows. I also drum for Foam Giant and Selby Tigers.

Professionally, my focus is on creating, updating, and maintaining both Static and Drupal websites.

I take a weekly private Japanese class to keep my language skills sharp.

I listen to old radio podcasts and music. Audio texture is important to me so I really like older recordings.

To keep in shape, I use 3kg dumbbells and do indoor jogging with a Pomodoro timer while working.

I use Claude Cowork as a robot personal assistant. Currently starting to switch over to Siri AI.

I update this page often but it changes glacially. It is generally what I am doing right now. It is inspired by the [/now page movement](https://nownownow.com/about). It is also listed on (https://nownownow.com/p/zA9V).
