Portland Streetcar 032 Gets a Tow Test
zhlédnutí 197Před 7 měsíci
I don't always get up at 4am, but when I do, it's usually for something special with public transit. I was given a heads up that Portland Streetcar would be performing a tow test for car 032, the second of three Brookville Liberty NXT cars ordered, in the early morning of 28 November 2023. Before burn-in testing of the new Brookville cars could start, they needed to complete a tow test to ensur...
Unboxing a Sailor Yokaze Fountain Pen
zhlédnutí 258Před 7 měsíci
This was a pen I had my eye on for a very long time. Part of Sailor's Ebonite Sculpture, Yokaze (Night Breeze) is a beautifully engraved pen that is deceptively light for its size. However, that size (not to mention price tag) does mean that it is a pen that permanently resides on my desk, always within reach when I'm working at it.
A Ride on the Seattle Monorail
zhlédnutí 28Před 8 měsíci
Back when I was in Seattle earlier in the year, I had some time to kill before catching my Amtrak home. Now that the Seattle Monorail accepts ORCA (including a day pass), it seemed like a good way to pass some time and check another mode of transit in Seattle off my list.
A Walk Around The New Mill Plain Transit Center
zhlédnutí 211Před 9 měsíci
While TriMet's first BRT line, FX2, may have just celebrated it's first anniversary, C-Tran has been busy getting ready to open its second BRT line, the Vine Red Line, also known as the Mill Plain Vine. The Mill Plain Vine replaces line 37 and brings with it the new Mill Plain Transit Center. If you've been to the Van Mall Transit Center, it'll look very familiar.
This Is Apple's Personal Voice Accessibility Feature
zhlédnutí 582Před rokem
Earlier this year, Apple teased a new accessibility feature called "Personal Voice", which allows you to create a synthesized voice of yourself if you are someone at risk of losing it completely due to a disability. Setting it up is done entirely on an Apple device; none of the recording samples you take are sent to Apple. Recording to train the feature takes about 15 minutes to do, but process...
Room Tour: Crowne Plaza Seattle Downtown - Standard King
zhlédnutí 724Před rokem
I've been up to Seattle enough times now to have built a list of hotels I prefer... and ones I'll definitely never do again. IHG recently surprised me with a bonus points and nightly rate offer for the Crowne Plaza that was too good to pass up for its proximity to Sakura-con. While definitely a much older building than the SLU Staybridge Suites (one of my prefered hotels in Seattle), I was very...

Trip Report: Amtrak Cascades 504 PDX to SEA in Business
zhlédnutí 670Před rokem
The month of April can only mean one thing: time to head up to Seattle for Sakura-con again. I've taken Amtrak to and from Seattle plenty of times now, but this time I decided to cough up the extra $21 for Business Class. While there's no lounge at Seattle King Street Station, if you're leaving from Portland Union Station, the lounge access alone is worth it. It's no Club Acela, but I do think ...

After eight years of mostly reliable service, it is time to finally retire my Mid-2015 MacBook Pro. However, this time I've decided to go back to a desktop and decided on the Mac Studio. Apple box design sure has changed over the years.

Hi video from 12 years ago
Just got mine last week, love her^^. Fantastic fit for my hand, great balance in weight. My new favorit pen.
It’s been my everyday carry pen since getting it now. Haven’t had a single issue with it and it still turns heads every time.
Anyone know where I can get the font for the logo?
you make awesome content. please keep up the good work. grateful!
I remember playing Alex Kidd, Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, and Super Monkey Ball, I haven't tried Samba de Amigo, I might dance to it.
A modern day classic. They really scale up in sound if you feed them a great upstream chain, especially the digital source.
Or would you not want to sell the bluray?
Great video and amazing pen. I'm thinking about it now... LOL
love this intro
Hi Steven I saw a Maido in a box 35 and 36 on Kinokuniya
I am from Pittsburgh and all of our trolley lines went away by the 1970s before I was born. This is absolutely amazing seeing actual trolley cars running on the streets of Philadelphia. I had plans to visit Philadelphia in 2020 unfortunately due to the world events that year was unable to make the trip I have family that lives in the strawberry mansion neighborhood
FYI Maido in a Box Vol. 36 pre-orders just dropped.
Wow, you can just hear how heavy these Brookville trams are compared to the Skodas by the noise they make when rolling along 😵💫
That noise isn’t necessarily because of the weight difference. 032 had a flat in its trucks at time of filming, likely due to brake testing. It would be nearly silent if it didn’t have the flat.
All of these comments are so old holy shit
2:41 what happen to Car B
I’m so upset that I never got the opportunity to ride the talgo 6 I wish the would’ve kept them at least until their new equipment got delivered instead of borrowing those piece of shit horizon’s
oh my god...i just found out about these boxes and I'm so sad :((((
I was wondering if you had a chance to check out the Maido Box #35?
I have not. It’s something I’m looking in to though.
IT HAS FLATS
Oh I was pretty sick for the past 3 months so I didn't even realize this was no longer monthly until just now... Deluxe Edition of this one sold out now which is a shame because the "sunography" looks fun and I'm a stamp maniac, but there's Vol. 35 coming up so I can't complain too much.
Thank you Stephen! This is still useful today in 2023.
used it in 2024!
He made me coffee night! It was cool.
14:09 scared the SHIT out of me! 😧😧😧
Something like ElevenLabs is of course far better, but that is not on device. I definitely appreciate the accessibility efforts by Apple, as always.
Nice video.
it took a day to generate mine but I couldn't figure out to enable it until this video. I enabled it and it disappeared from my phone smh
I’m hoping it’s a feature that gets more stable in later builds. The generation process felt like the phone needed to be doing absolutely nothing else for it to process.
Very interesting. It captures the texture and register of your voice, but still sounds quite artificial. I don’t know if you use Spotify, but their AI DJ mode has a voice modeled after their CEO. It sounds very realistic. I’m guessing it involved an entirely different process… and more than 15 minutes. Thanks for sharing this. It’s a very cool feature.
Nope, I have Apple Music instead. Apple’s logic here isn’t too far from the process that historically has been used to make synthetic voices (like the original Siri voice), but it’s definitely a much more condensed process. What I’d like to see Apple do in the future is some way to capture additional samples, maybe automatically using (via opt-in) dictation samples. But given its intended audience, that might be difficult.
I just discovered your channel. I'm an ancient Gen Xer who lived in Portland in the 1990s and have visited a couple of times since then. It's a lovely city. As I start thinking of retirement, I'm starting to consider Portland as a place to live after living a long time in Southern California. I wish I'd spent more time exploring Washington Park back then. I only visited as a place by car to visit the Rose Garden, the zoo, Japanese Garden, etc.
35:00 I live there.
I enjoyed watching your Maido in a box reviews. Thank you! Hope you can soon uploading new contents. I personally like the Stationery Selection sub box. They are sent from Japan.
Thanks for sharing! I'm also sad but I'm glad maido in a box isn't completely going away. I think this one is my favorite because I love film and cameras!
I’ve been watching your unboxings for a while, so hopefully you find another subscription to share with us!
How nice of a last release.
THIS IS SO COOL
I don't know if you'll see this but thanks for posting so I have an idea of what it will be like. I'm crippled and have wasting muscles so I wasn't sure if I could handle the boat but this looks manageable as long as I can sit. Sorry for your loss.
Ah , Paris . The city of romance.
Hey keep up the nice work! Love my Mac Studio. New sub👍🏼out here supporting smaller channels like mine!
Bye bye human baristas
I love sunshine color changing fabric. It should be more popular.
WOW....amazing!! edit : A comment in 2022
thank you !
This is part of the Asbury Park Casino and not Ocean Grove as I've known it. The structure does connect from the Asbury boards to the Ocean Grove boardwalk however.
That's why Ubisoft created Rayman and Rabbids
Not only do I remember CDs, I buy them on occasion. Cassette tapes I only ever saw when I was young though, mostly before my time.
When I played Just Dance 4 it was a glitch because it showed the original Ubisoft logo instead of pitch (-2) and the disco ball (How Rare😅)
They even have a theme park right now
I bought one too
I book it too
Do you by chance know where i can get the membership?
Kinokuniya memberships can be purchased at any physical Kinokuniya store or online via Bookweb. You can also just give the customer service center a call.
