A look back at October’s major releases in screen captures, most-read pages, and everyday notes
October started with sorting out where AI automation ends and where human craft begins. On the public site, we launched Design Discipline to keep visual quality consistent, Prototype à la mode to showcase hybrid DTP and web experiments, and the bilingual Whitepaper series. In the second half of the month, we focused on practical tools that quietly support daily life and work—including Kamos Crisis Response for 72-hour family disaster updates and Kamos Blue Impulse for blocking automated vulnerability scans.
Combined AI asset generation with human Illustrator typography and custom web typesetting rules.
Built interactive 3D simulations driven by geometry and physics rather than verbal prompts alone.
Added family disaster briefing tools and automated IP blocking to keep daily life and websites safe.
New features and public pages launched or updated in October
A collection of 400 practical design rules across Graphic, Web, Application, and Presentation domains to keep personal craft consistent.
A visual showcase of posters finished by hand in Illustrator alongside media layouts built with custom web typesetting scripts.
Slide-based reports exploring how AI changes everyday work and design practice, available in both Japanese and English directly in the browser.
An interactive WebGPU deep-sea drone and optical simulation where you can switch ocean depths and observe underwater light rays.
Sends hourly weather, shelter, and rumor-check emails to family members during the first 72 hours of a disaster. Captured with dummy drill data.
Detects automated vulnerability scans and form spam, blocking suspicious IPs automatically. Captured in sandbox mode with dummy data.

Everyday home-cooked dinner log, passing 130 meals at an average of ¥420 per meal.
Highlights from Kurashi 1980 and daily posts
As AI makes it easy to generate surface deliverables, October was a reminder that what matters most in client work is simply being a reliable person to talk to when things get tricky. At the same time, to avoid the security burden of holding user data as a solo business, I decided to shelve an unreleased chat prototype before launch.
I picked up a used 2014 Mac Mini for ¥10,000, named it "hideo," and set it up as an always-on machine for morning audio briefings. An old iPad Pro was reset into a dedicated drawing pad. Later in the month, visiting Studio Yuu’s exhibition in Shinjuku reminded me how nicely my 20-year-old ceramic bowl has aged.
Early October included helping take down the local festival scaffold in Yokohama and painting a birthday cake sketch for my mother. After a minor knock in a mid-month rugby match and a clear brain MRI, I took a quiet week of hot baths and rest—and enjoyed cooking autumn dishes like pork, persimmon, and turnip stir-fry.
