Migrationology

I've been watching a lot of YouTube lately and most of the views are related to street food. I found this one channel called Migrationology that has pretty good content. He also has a website with city guides on travel and food. The best part of the videos is his reaction when he eats something good. You have to watch to see.

He visits a lot of cities in Asia. There are series of videos for Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, etc. I recognize some of the places he visits in Taipei, especially the night markets. Very cool.

AirPods

My nephew from China send a gift to our house but doesn't include a note telling us who it's for. The "it" in this case are new Apple AirPods. Since my parents don't really listed to music using earphones and most of their calls are via speakerphone, they gave the AirPod to me. I've used them for several walks and really like them, though at $160, I don't know if I would have bought them for myself.

Whoa, I just realized there is a $200 version and a $250 AirPods Pro. Apple makes great hardware but everything is more expensive than you expect.

Huh? What the heck is this? Doesn't look like it would be fun to play but Steam reviews are "Overwhelmingly Positive." Maybe all the reviews are from bots in China.

CABG

Sorry that I haven't posted in awhile. On November 11th, based on the recommendation of my doctor, I drove to the ER because my heart was beating fast. It turned out I had heart damage, possibly even a heart attack, and needed bypass surgery. On November 14th, I had a seven hour operation to bypass four arteries in my heart. Since then, I have been recovering at home. I also took a short-term disability leave from work.

I started another blog that chronicles my recovery and struggles with medical issues. Since surgery recovery is a huge part of my life now, all my posting has been to the other blog. Once I'm better, I will post here more.

Thanks.
