Dear @ieeeICASSP, thanks for the email with details re: visas. You mention to "please submit your passport details if you have NOT already". I did so in November but never received any confirmation: how do we know if we're all set or not?

One entry I didn't have on my "Japan Vending Machines" bingo card is whale meat 🐳 / kujira 🤯 Quite the variety too... #Kōjiya – at Ota-ku, Tokyo
As we're about to leave Tokyo and head back to Boston today, a short thread 🧵on the more peculiar vending machines we encountered in Japan this time👇 (I believe everything is frozen) 1/5: Premium Miyazaki Beef Vending Machine (e.g., inside JR Shinagawa station)

The movie I most enjoyed this year was The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, a 2022 Nick Cage movie I watched on the plane to Seoul for ICASSP. I was literally crying with laughter (sorry, neighbors!). Skip the trailer and just watch it. You're welcome. hulu.com/movie/88a5a644-4ae7…

We're sad to bid farewell to @EbbersJanek, going back to Germany at the end of his very productive 1-year visiting research scientist stint at MERL! Lots of papers and beers🍻 – at Cambridge, MA

Seriously, @Apple, there's no way to limit screen time on Minecraft because it's running in the Java virtual machine? What's "All Apps" for? Why can't I just get the screen to lock after my child has used the laptop in any way for X minutes?? Windows is so much better at this🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
