Add a --date argument to new-photo-post script

+
+A big theme of the year is the [Murderbot Diaries][murderbot]. My friend Jess

+Murderbot books on this list.

+title: "Cat in the Cream Cookies"
+date: 2024-11-18

+---
+
+One of my favorite memories from my time as a student at [Oberlin][ob] was going
+to the [Cat in the Cream][cat]. I saw a lot of great plays, improv shows, and
+jazz ensembles by students, and several performances by visiting musical guests.
+
+The other highlight of these memories was the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies you
+could get for $1. They're somewhere between a small cake and a cookie, often
+fresh-baked (they often had a hard time keeping up with demand on show nights).
+Honestly they're everything I want in a cookie. I think the recipe was printed
+in an edition of the [Alumni Magazine][mag] at some point in the last several
+years, but this [video][video] I found online was the closest I had to hand, so
+I'm copying it here.
+
+
+## Recipe
+
+**Yield:** 20 cookies
+
+### Tools
+
+* Measuring cups and spoons
+* 2 large mixing bowls
+* Spoon or electric mixer to mix wet ingredients
+* Whisk to combine dry ingredients (optional)
+* 1 or 2 half-size sheet pans for baking
+
+
+### Ingredients
+
+* 2 cups butter, softened
+* 1 cup granulated sugar
+* 2 cups brown sugar or 2 tablespoons of molasses
+* 4 eggs, lightly beaten
+* 2 teaspoons vanilla
+* 4 cups flour
+* 2 teaspoons baking soda
+* 2 teaspoons salt
+* Dash cinnamon
+* 4 cups oats
+* 3 cups chocolate chips
+
+
+### Method
+
+1. Preheat oven to 375°.
+1. Combine butter, sugars, and/or molasses in a bowl.
+1. Add eggs and vanilla. Stir to combine.
+1. Mix flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
+1. Add dry ingredients above to the wet. Stir to combine.
+1. Add in oats and chocolate chips. Stir to combine.
+1. Drop in large hunks (about 1/4 cup) onto ungreased baking sheets. They don't
+   spread during baking, but you'll only get six cookies on a half sheet.
+1. Bake until the edges are slightly brown. The original recipe says 20 minutes,
+   but 15 was enough in my oven.

+
+They've been a couple for a long time. I'm thrilled that they've decided to take

+After the wedding day, we spent several days in Chicago sightseeing and visiting
+with friends and family. We went record shopping at [Reckless][reckless], walked
+down Navy Pier and Michigan Avenue, rode the L (including a stop a the
+delightfully old timey [Quincy Station][quincy]), took selfies at the
+[Bean][bean], and caught Hokusai's [Great Wave Off Kanagawa][wave] at the [Art
+Institute of Chicago][artic] on a limited exhibition. We had breakfast at
+[Tary][tary], and stopped in for pints at [The Kerryman][kerryman], a pub owned
+by one of Tess' distant Irish cousins.

+
+This year, {{< tess >}}, Erin, and I traveled to Massachusetts to spend
+Christmas with Tess' family. This was my first year spending Christmas away from
+my family in Arizona, and my first with Tess and Erin.
+
+One of my hopes for Christmas in a cold place was to see some snow. As luck
+would have it, I woke up on Christmas Eve to find a light dusting! Erin and I
+couldn't help ourselves: we rushed outside to make a few snowballs and the
+tiniest snow man you've ever seen.
+
+{{< 2col >}}
+  {{< figures/image name=erin-snowballs.jpg >}}
+  {{< figures/image name=snow-friend.jpg >}}
+{{< /2col >}}
+
+We opened presents and had a lazy Christmas morning. We had dinner at Tess'
+parents' house, and then went over for Christmas dessert at her cousin's house
+-- a truly massive family event with many extended family members attending.
+
+The next day, Tess and I went "down harbor" for lunch and a little walk around.
+We stopped at [Lucky Finn](https://www.luckyfinncafe.com) for a coffee, and Tess
+took me around to see some of her old summer stomping grounds. I asked her to
+help me get a good view of [Minot Light][minot], but it turns out it's really
+damn far out so I only managed a little speck on the horizon.
+
+{{< 2col >}}
+  {{< figures/image name=minot.jpg >}}
+  {{< figures/image name=sand-hills.jpg >}}
+{{< /2col >}}
+
+On Friday, Tess, Erin, and I went candlepin bowling at [Alley Kat
+Lane][alleykat] in Kingston. Despite some initial hesitation, Erin had a lot of
+fun. It was my first time at candlepin bowling too, and I found it really fun!
+Harder than "big ball" bowling, but also more approachable because of the
+lighter, smaller ball. The opportunities to strategize how to use the fallen
+pins to your advantage add an interesting element too.

+{{< 2col >}}
+  {{< figures/image name=bluey-erin-kathleen.jpg >}}
+  {{< figures/image name=bluey-green-door.jpg >}}
+{{< /2col >}}
+
+On Saturday, Tess, Kathleen, and I took Erin to an immersive [Bluey camp][bluey]
+in Burlington. She had a great time building a fort out of the big cushy
+oversized "blocks" in Bluey and Bingo's playroom.
+
+{{< 2col >}}
+  {{< figures/image name=bowling.jpg >}}
+  {{< figures/image name=old-brigade.jpg >}}
+{{< /2col >}}
+
+Our last day in town, we went out to brunch at [The Tinker's Son][tinker], and
+went up to [The Fox & Hound][fox] in Quincy to watch Tess' cousin
+[Danny][brigade] play Irish music.
+
+---
+
+I had a lot of feelings going into this Christmas. Apart from one pandemic year,
+I've spent every year with my family in Arizona. I was worried about being in a
+new place with people I didn't know well, breaking long-standing traditions with
+my own family, letting them down, and feeling homesick.
+
+Everyone in Tess' family was welcoming and supportive. Tess' mom even got me a
+stocking for their fireplce with my name on it, and her dad filled it with many
+of the same things he gives to the rest of the family members. I also got to
+watch Erin experience Christmas as a kid for the first time: opening presents,
+playing in the snow, snuggling and reading books or watching TV together.
+
+I was able to keep some of my family traditions too. Mom sent me a box of full
+of cookies; I shopped for presents for my parents and sister. And when we
+returned to California, I was able to have a video call with my family to open
+presents together.
+
+The older I get the more see the point of Christmas to be about the
+relationships to family, and the sense of home and community you get from being
+with people you love. Despite a whole new experience, I really felt that this
+year. In fact, I think being in a new place, enacting different traditions, let
+me hold the traditions and rituals of Christmas as I've experienced up to now a
+little more loosely, and to focus on the people that bring meaning to the
+holiday and make those rituals happen.

+
+On April 8, the earth experienced a [total solar eclipse][nasa] tracking over
+North America. I was so excited to be able to travel to the path of totality and
+observe the eclipse with my friend and fellow space nerd, [Breanna
+Carzoo][breanna].
+
+My setup for all my eclipse photos was a [Fujifilm X-T5][xt5], with a [Canon EF
+100mm Macro][lens] lens. I used a [Fringer EF-XT converter][converter] to mount
+the EF lens on the X-T5. Of course I also had a solar filter.
+
+Here's one of my first test images. You can see a sun spot!
+
+{{< figures/image name=sol >}}
+
+During totality, when the moon fully covers the disc of the sun, a phenomenon
+known as the "Ring of Fire" occurse. The sky is dark and most of the Sun's light
+is hidden. In this state, it's possible to see the Sun's corona.
+
+{{< figures/image name=ringoffire >}}
+
+Just before and after totality is the "Diamond Ring" phase, when the last bit of
+light from the Sun's disc shines through the craters and valleys of the moon's
+surface.
+
+{{< figures/image name=diamondring >}}
+
+Austin, TX was pretty cloudy that day. I'm grateful we were able to see as much
+of the eclipse as we did. The clouds made for some awesome effects too. I'm
+particularly proud of my Diamond Ring image (above) with the additional drama
+the clouds brought to an already stunning event.
+
+Apart from the eclipse, I got to see Breanna do a book event in Bee Cave, TX.
+This town is adorable and leans hard into its name -- everything has a bee
+theme.
+
+{{< figures/image name=breanna-reading.jpg >}}
+
+I was also eager to try [Comadre Panadería](https://comadrepanaderia.com) after
+hearing about it from Claire Saffitz on [one of her videos][comadre-yt] on her
+Dessert Person YouTube channel. I have a huge soft spot for conchas -- Mexican
+pan dulces shaped like shells -- and these were _incredible_.
+
+{{< figures/image name=concha >}}
+
+All told, a very successful trip! Breanna and I had a great time hanging out
+together, and despite the clouds we got some great views of the eclipse.

+---
+
+I recently returned from a trip with a group of my high school friends. This is
+the fourth annual trip we've taken as a group, and we covered a lot of ground,
+visiting three states and two national parks. Here's what we got up to.
+
+
+## Day 1
+
+We arrived at [Jackson Hole Airport][jac] (JAC) on Wednesday afternoon. This
+airport is the only one [located in a national park][jacwp]. That fact coupled
+with a flight path that brings planes in from the north means we got a stunning
+first look at the Teton[^1] mountains from the plane.
+
+{{< figures/image name=tetons-plane >}}
+
+We stopped for beers at [Snake River Brewing][snakeriverbrew] in Jackson,
+Wyoming before heading over the [Teton Pass][tetonpass] to our AirBnb, about six
+miles outside of [Driggs, Idaho][driggs].
+
+{{< figures/image name=tetons-airbnb >}}
+
+The [Teton mountains][tetons] are quite striking. I couldn’t get enough photos
+of them, especially with the pastoral foregrounds of farm buildings and fields.
+The photo above is from the deck of our Airbnb, on the opposite side of the
+range from the one I took from the plane.
+
+
+## Day 2
+
+Our first full day was a relaxed tourist day in Jackson. We had lunch at [Grand
+Teton Brewing][gtbrew] in [Victor, Idaho][victor], then drove over the pass to
+Jackson. The town is situated around a central square that's surrounded by shops
+and restaurants.
+
+{{< figures/image name=jackson-drug-co >}}
+
+We spent the afternoon wandering in and out of the local stores, and stopped in
+the delightfully kitschy [Million Dollar Cowboy Bar][cowboy-bar] for drinks and
+a round of pool.
+
+{{< figures/image name=cowboy-bar-group-photo.jpg >}}
+
+Dinner was pizza from [Pinky G's][pinkyg] in Victor.
+
+
+## Day 3
+
+We were up early today to drive into [Yellowstone National Park][yellowstonenp].
+
+{{< figures/image name=sunrise.jpg >}}
+
+We opted to spend our day in the west and south side of the park, touring the
+[Grand Prismatic][prismaticnps] [Spring][prismaticwp] and [Old
+Faithful][oldfaithful]. I enjoyed reading about the geology of the area, and how
+the volcanic activity below the surface drives the geysers, mud pots, and hot
+springs the park is best known for.
+
+The Prismatic Spring was a bucket list item for me, so I was thrilled to get to
+see it.
+
+{{< figures/image name=prismatic-spring.jpg >}}
+
+We hiked along the Fairy Falls trail to the overlook and spotted our first
+megafauna of the trip: a bison! He was grazing along the trail. We named him
+Barry.
+
+{{< figures/image name=barry-profile.jpg >}}
+
+From there we drove down the road to the [Old Faithful Visitor Education
+Center][oldfaithfulvec]. We’d just missed an eruption, so we opted to hang out
+until the next one. Meanwhile we had some lunch and wandered the visitor
+center's exhibit on the various geothermal features in the geyser basin.
+
+Our last stops of the day were the [Grand Canyon of Yellowstone][grandcanyon] –
+a name this group of Arizonans found somewhat bewildering – and Hayden Valley.
+The Canyon didn’t disappoint; is indeed grand.
+
+{{< figures/image name=grand-canyon.jpg >}}
+
+On the way out of the park, we came across a group of elk, including a
+particularly feisty young male who was determined to put a traffic cone in its
+place.
+
+{{< figures/image name=buck.jpg >}}
+
+We stopped for dinner at the [Slippery Otter][slipperyotter] in West Yellowstone
+before heading home.
+
+
+## Day 4
+
+The first of two days at [Grand Teton National Park][gtnp] started with
+sandwiches from a small deli in [Moose, Wyoming][moosewy]. This town, along with
+the airport, also sits within the national park boundaries. A little ways down
+the road we came to [Jenny Lake][jennylake].
+
+{{< figures/image name=jenny-lake-panorama.jpg >}}
+
+We also hiked around [Leigh Lake][leighlake], the next in a chain of lakes at
+the immediate base of the mountains.
+
+{{< figures/image name=leigh-lake.jpg >}}
+
+We wrapped up this day with a drive up [Signal Mountain][signalmtn][^2] and an
+unsuccessful moose-spotting drive down the Moose-Wilson Road.
+
+{{< figures/image name=signal-mountain-1.jpg >}}
+
+{{< figures/image name=signal-mountain-2.jpg >}}
+
+Before bed, a bunch of us enjoyed the hot tub and beautifully clear night skies.
+We found Jupiter and Saturn, as well as several constellations. The Milky Way
+was overhead as well. I *always* enjoy stargazing, and don’t get to do it nearly
+enough under dark skies. This was a real treat.
+
+
+## Day 5
+
+Our first stop in the park was Mormon Row, a chain of houses and farm buildings
+constructed by Mormon homesteaders in the early 20<sup>th</sup> century.
+
+{{< figures/image name=mormon-row-out-buildings.jpg >}}
+
+{{< figures/image name=mormon-row-barn.jpg >}}
+
+Seeing how these people carved a living out of a relatively harsh
+environment[^3] is awe inspiring.
+
+{{< figures/image name=mormon-row-cow-path.jpg >}}
+
+We drove further down the road to [Lower Slide Lake][lowerslide] to spend a
+little time relaxing and waiting for sunset. We skipped rocks and built cairns
+at the lakeshore, and admired the scenic views of the farms across the lake.
+
+Our last scheduled stop was an attempt to catch the sun setting behind the
+peaks. We drove out to [Schwabacher Landing][schwabacher] and hiked a little
+ways in. This spot was a gorgeous place to wait for the sun. A bunch of the
+group climbed into a fallen tree for a particularly silly group photo.
+
+{{< figures/image name=schwabacher-group.jpg >}}
+
+We also caught some duck butts!
+
+{{< figures/image name=duck-butts.jpg >}}
+
+I managed to take a time lapse video of the sun setting. It was going great
+until the wind blew it off its jaunty perch on a branch.
+
+{{< figures/image name=sunset-video >}}
+
+On the way home we took another shot at catching a moose along the Moose-Wilson
+Road, and this time we were successful! A short way down the road, we came to a
+clearing where not one but two moose were grazing in the sagebrush.
+
+{{< figures/image name=moose.jpg >}}
+
+Given our prior unsuccessful attempt, several of us had tempered our
+expectations going into this drive. That made seeing two moose so quickly into
+the drive all the more exciting.
+
+
+## Day 6
+
+Time to head home. 😢 We broke camp at the Airbnb in the morning and said
+goodbyes to a few of our group with flights out of Bozeman, Montana. Due to a
+complication with our rental cars, I drove twice over Teton Pass to get everyone
+to JAC who needed to be there.
+
+{{< figures/image name=genevieve.jpg >}}
+
+Trent, Tess, and I had a last lunch at [Cafe Genevieve][genevieve] in Jackson.
+Then, we returned the rental car and caught our flights home.
+
+
+## Hasta Luego
+
+This group means a lot to me. We’ve hung together through the worst of the
+pandemic, and make time every year to spend a few days together. There are
+challenges and small conflicts every year, but we always make it through and
+continue to put in the work to make these trips happen. I’m so grateful for
+that.
+
+
+[^1]: Tess informed me shortly after landing of the meaning of the French word
+_téton_. A fact that delighted me for the entirety of the trip. Two lesbians
+traveling to the middle of the country to check out "the great tits" is about as
+on the nose as it gets, isn’t it?
+[^2]: The view from the top of signal mountain is breathtaking, however I
+couldn’t help notice one of the water features bears a certain phallic
+resemblance.
+[^3]: Some of the signage here explained that the homesteaders picked this spot
+because the nearby butte sheltered them from the wind. Several of us found
+this fact unbelievable considering how windy it was that day.

+resources:
+  - name: makefile

+  - Software
+---
+
+I recently found myself hacking on a Makefile (the GNU kind, not the [BSD
+kind][bsdmake]) that made heavy use of pattern rules and grouped rules. These
+are concepts I haven't spent a lot of time with so I wrote myself a small test
+Makefile to explore them in a little more detail.
+
+
+## Pattern Rules
+
+[Pattern rules][patterns] drive most of the usage of `make` as a tool for
+building software. `make` includes a bunch of pattern rules for many of the
+kinds of source files you're likely to encounter. For example, it has implicit
+rules for building `.o` files out of `.c` files.
+
+Here's a simple pattern rule that generates text files:
+
+```make
+%.txt:
+	@echo "=> Making $*.txt"
+	python -c 'print("$*!".title())' > $@
+```
+
+The `%` is tells `make` that this is a patten rule. It's a placeholder for a
+string of non-whitespace characters, which `make` calls a _stem_. You can
+reference the stem in the body of the rule with the [automatic variable][auto]
+`$*`.
+
+This particular rule creates a text file with a particular stem by echoing a
+string to a file with this little Python snippet.
+
+Here's a slightly more complex pattern rule:
+
+```make
+%.x : %.a
+	@echo "=> Making X file from $< with pattern rule"
+	echo "[X]" > $*.x
+	cat "$<" >> $*.x
+```
+
+The major difference with this rule is that it has a prerequisite (the part
+after the colon) that also has a `%`. So, this rule defines how to build a `.x`
+file from a `.a` file with the same stem.
+
+Later on, if I write a rule like this:
+
+```make
+zip.a : florp.txt
+	@echo "=> Making $@ with $<"
+	cat $< > $@
+```
+
+`make` will understand that it first needs to generate `florp.txt` with the
+pattern rule for `%.txt`. Then it can execute this rule to build `zip.a`.
+
+
+## Grouped Rules
+
+Grouped rules are another feature of `make` that lets you specify [more than one
+output][multiples] for a given rule. If you're writing C family languages, this
+is useful for generating a header and source file pair, and making sure that
+they get updated together.
+
+```make
+zip.x zip.y &: zip.a
+	@echo "=> Making XY files from $< with explicit rule"
+	echo "[X]" > zip.x
+	cat "$<" >> zip.x
+	echo "[Y]" > zip.y
+	cat "$<" >> zip.y
+```
+
+Generally when you write a rule with more than one output, `make` understands
+that each of the ouput files is built separately with the same rule. However, a
+rule with a `&:` separator indicates that the outputs are built from a single
+invocation of the rule. `make` will rebuild the rule if any of the outputs is
+out-of-date.
+
+
+## Altogether Now
+
+You can combine pattern rules and group rules into a single rule too. This rule
+creates a pattern for building a pair of `.x` and `.y` files from a `.a` file
+with a particular stem.
+
+```make
+%.x %.y : %.a
+	@echo "=> Making XY files from $< with pattern rule"
+	echo "[X]" > $*.x
+	cat "$<" >> $*.x
+	echo "[Y]" > $*.y
+	cat "$<" >> $*.y
+```
+
+These rules are always treated as a group. It doesn't matter if you use `:` or
+`&:`.
+
+
+## Rule Precedence
+
+The way `make` decides which rule to use to produce a file are a little subtle,
+especially when you combine pattern rules and explicit rules. In general an
+explicit rule should take precedence over a pattern. In my Makefile, the rule
+that explicitly builds `zip.x` and `zip.y` will win over the pattern for `%.x`
+and `%.y`. When multiple pattern rules match a target, the rules are [more
+complex][matching].

+I made [Japanese Milk Bread Rolls][r] from King Arthur Baking for Thanksgiving.
+They were a big hit!
+
+{{< figures/image name=rolls >}}
+
+The weirdest part for most Western bakers is probably the tangzhong, but it's a
+pretty straight-forward roux, like you'd use to make gravy. The recipe has some
+good instructions on how to do it.
+
+The most difficult part -- at least for me -- is probably the shaping because of
+the coordination you need to turn the lump of dough in a circular motion on the
+counter between your fingers. It took me a little while to get that, but now it
+comes almost second nature.
+
+Totally recommend this one for holiday dinner!

+I was home sick from work for part of this week. I spent some of that time
+reading, solving a Rubik's Cube, folding some cute origami, and hacking on
+[silly projects][rubiks-scrambler].
+
+{{< tess >}} and I started watching the BBC miniseries adaptation of [Jonathan
+Strange and Mr Norrell][strange]. I haven't read the book but this show is
+making me want to. We've also been watching [Agatha All Along][agatha] on
+Disney+, a witchy and highly queer-coded sequel to [Wandavision][wanda]. I also
+caught up on [Shrinking][shrinking] on Apple TV+, which is great.
+
+Some stuff I found interesting this week:
+
+* Someone shared a link to this writeup about the proceedings of the [DNSSEC
+Root Signing Ceremony][dnssec]. Some things I found notable: the ceremony
+involves seven people who all must be present to sign the certificate; it is
+designed to support a 5% of dishonesty among the attendees. (5% is written into
+the spec.)
+* An acquaintance and colleague of mine, [Willow][willow], wrote a post about
+what they're doing to [live honestly][live-honestly] in a world that's
+increasing less hospitable to marginalized people.
+* This post entitled [Fixing the World][fixing] drew a good analogy between the
+work in front of us and the daily work of fisherpeople. Namely: maintenance,
+preparedness, community building, and vigilence for coming storms.
+* Tess sent me a post by Casey Plett called [And now, it's almost noon][noon]
+reminding us to tend to our grief, take care of each other, and "keep your head
+up."
+* Here's a 20 year old [comic][panic] from [Alison Bechdel][bechdel] (of the
+[Bechdel/Wallace Test][bechdeltest]) about trans bathroom panic.
+* [The Onion is buying Infowars][onion] with the backing of victims of the Sandy
+Hook shooting, saying they're going to make a "very funny, very stupid" website.

+---
+
+This week was Thanksgiving. This is a complicated holiday in the United States.
+We are taught a simple narrative in school about Pilgrims and American Indians
+sharing food together, but that's a vastly over-simplified narrative that papers
+over a long history of violence inflicted on Native tribes by the European
+settlers. This year I leared about the [Pequot War][pequot], during which many
+members of the Pequot tribe were killed or sold into slavery such that the trive
+was effectively eliminated.
+
+---
+
+I spent most of the week at home visiting family. I spent a lot of time
+visiting with family and friends, reading, and learning a [new method of solving
+a Rubik's Cube][cube].
+
+I made some [really tasty rolls][rolls] for Thanksgiving, among several other
+yummy things.
+
+My sister's boyfriend taught me how to play [snooker][snooker] one afternoon.
+I've long enjoyed billiard games, and snooker is pretty different from the 8 and
+9 ball games I usually play.
+
+---
+
+I finished "[I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom][doom]", a book
+my sister and I were reading together. It got very absurd at the end, and has
+some good thoughts for all of us about how technology affects our intra- and
+inter-personal lives. I could hardly put it down the last half. 
+
+---
+
+I've been reading and listening to a lot of journalism about what's coming for
+trans people in the United States once Trump takes office.
+
+* Slate's Outward podcast episode that asks "[Now What Do We Do?][nowwhat]"
+* "[Not Everyone Can Leave][leave]" in the Texas Observer
+* SF Chronicle ran an opinion piece about some [suggestions][sfc] legal experts
+have for LGBTQ families.
+
+I've been really torn on the question of how best to move forward since the
+election. There's a lot to sift through, and risks to weigh. I'm thinking and
+reading a lot, talking with {{< tess >}} and with my family. I don't know yet.

+The US Supreme Court heard a case regarding a new law in Tennessee that would
+bar minors from receiving any kind of gender affirming medical care. This case
+has big implications for trans healthcare across the country, with many states
+having enacted new laws that limit access. I'm deeply worried for the trans kids
+who will be put at risk of violence and suicide because of the hate of a vocal
+minority.

+This [interview with Dr. Erin A. Cech][cech] about her new book _The Trouble

+description: Updating Japanese language tag slugs to make them easier to navigate.
+tags:
+  - Meta

+  - japanese
+  - japan
+---
+
+Two years ago, I took a trip to Japan with {{< tess >}}. I wrote up my experiences on
+that trip in various posts, and shared several photos.
+
+Feeling perhaps overly-confident in my ability to read Japanese and my website
+engine's ability to handle non-ASCII content, I tagged many of those pages with
+Japanese language tags:
+[日本]({{< ref "/tags/japan" >}}),
+[日本語]({{< ref "/tags/japanese" >}}),
+[東京]({{< ref "/tags/japan-tokyo" >}}),
+[京都]({{< ref "/tags/japan-kyoto" >}}).
+
+This led to some unweildy URLs because of how Hugo rendered the Japanese
+language tags names into ASCII when generating file paths.
+
+```html
+<ul>
+    <li><a href="/tags/nature/">Nature</a></li>
+    <li><a href="/tags/temples/">Temples</a></li>
+    <li><a href="/tags/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC/">日本</a></li>
+</ul>
+```
+
+It's not necessary to convert URLs to punycode if your document is UTF8, but
+Hugo does it. Browsers should automatically handle converting to and from
+punycode when sending HTTP requests over the wire. Nevertheless...
+
+I went through my post tags and updated all of the Japanese language tags to
+have English slugs and Japanese titles. Now, these URLs are more friendly for
+typing (and the file paths are easier to navigate in a terminal) while still
+showing up in posts and tag list pages with the Japanese name.
+
+```html
+<ul>
+    <li><a href="/tags/meta/">Meta</a></li>
+    <li><a href="/tags/hugo/">Hugo</a></li>
+    <li><a href="/tags/japanese/">日本語</a></li>
+</ul>
+```
+
+
+## One More Thing
+
+I often tag posts with tags by location. For example, several of my posts from
+my Japan trip in 2023 are tagged with `/tags/japan` and with (e.g.)
+`/tags/tokyo`. For the place tags that are within a large region, like cities
+within countries, I added the larger region to the tag:
+
+* `/tags/tokyo` → `/tags/japan-tokyo`
+* `/tags/kyoto` → `/tags/japan-kyoto`
+
+I only did this for the Japan tags for now. I'll be making more such updates
+going forward.
