Aboard the 🇨🇦HMCS Glace Bay: backing out of Pier 92 was no problem but Bluetooth pairing our iPhones was challenging #fleetweeknyc #fleetweek

Enjoying a rare car-free Mott Street.

Just gonna blame Anthony Bourdain and his NJ episode of PARTS UNKNOWN for inspiring tonight’s delicious & decadent #meatcheat dinner of cheese & chili cheese dogs, hot dog with onion & relish, cheese fries, onion rings, draft birch beer, draft MGD, and a bottle of Miller Lite.
(Hiram’s Roadstand, Ft. Lee, NJ)
Testing out iPhone lenses for an upcoming project. Discovered how hard it is to take an eyeball selfie with a 15x macro.
Zipcars are awesome because I get to practice my parking technique.
Reading helps you understand things.
I may have to get the band back together if I can re-learn how to play one of these things.
EVEN IN HIS YOUTH: me in the early 90s with early 90s hair. #tbt
My entry for lamest Apple Watch unboxing video ever. Really surprised how large and heavy the packaging is.
I’m always flattered by the comparison, but I honestly don’t see the resemblance. Maybe it’s our penchant for carrying mics?
I geeked out on an extremely rare R110B rail car and made a new friend. It was a good day.

#tbt My high school ID photo from freshman year. I think I’ve come full circle in hair and clothes.
Mid-flight selfie with cool cat @uliang.
It’s been a few years since I last visited, but I found myself easily adapting again to the peculiar customs of Houston.
Were it not for the shirt, I believe I could have passed for a native, as you can see in these photographs.
Holy moly, it’s been a while since I had a fever this high.
The only question now is: am I finally starting the Breaking Bad marathon or the Downton Abbey marathon?
You may know I don’t drink alcohol. But until now you didn’t know the real reason why: once you drink Trump Ice, no other beverage will satisfy.
(Everlasting gratitude to my brother JJ Chan for this gift of gifts.)
Even the parking attendant can’t stop looking at my ginormous Bossypants hands.

I was so excited about my first professional haircut in six years (been DIY since 2006) that I forgot to smile.

Whoa, these were $22.05 on the clearance rack. Now that’s the best kind of retro.

If you have the choice of a flashlight set with or without headlamps, choose headlamps every time.

Phew, my first student videoconference went off well. Thanks HIFF for the opportunity to speak to Hawaii youth. Great questions, y’all!

Today, I biked about 50 miles on the beautiful isle of Maui. Unfortunately, almost half of those miles were unintentional and extremely difficult – so much so that at one point I really thought I was going to die in a ditch by the side of the road.
Some lessons learned:

I don’t know if it’s food poisoning or a stomach flu or something else, but I feel awful. What, you say I look awful, too? I guess I’d have to agree.

I know I can do this at any Apple Store, but somehow it’s just more fun at Fry’s.

I look younger with short hair?
More gray every time
