SSAB - May 15, 2026

Up early-ish and out the door for a 7 km run. Ran a lot quicker today than previous days. Made my way through Utsubo Park, very nice peonies I think they were.Osaka Castle for the afternoon. What’s next?Starbucks vanilla donut?? How was it? Not worth it!Bought some summer clothes from Uniqlo! UV protection gear. Nice and breathable!And I think I figured out a simple way to do Chinese subtitles in FCP: just export the default captions! Should speed up production a little bit.Donate to the show!
