2019
I’m finding it difficult to motivate my mind, wrist, and fingers to come up with an idea for Microblogvember (supplemental) today. Better luck tomorrow.
A knock-on effect of doing these little daily things is that I feel the need to keep going and so I’ve enrolled for an iPad art class at Sketchbook Skool. I use about 5% of the power of Procreate so I’m looking forward to learning more.
I’m never satisfied with panoramic photos with people in them. Unless you can get all of those people to stay very still they tend to end up looking very strange and distorted. Landscapes are fine but then I don’t think panoramic mode is really meant for anything else.
Here’s a song for Sunday. Beloved by Firefly Burning 🎵
December is going to be marred in the UK due to one of the most horrible election campaigns in living memory. I’ll be voting, of course, but music and carousing are going to be very important to keep the spirits up.
It’s coming to the end of Microblogvember. I still have the extra six days to complete due to my late start though. I’ve really enjoyed doing it and plan to integrate it into every day and month going forward. Many thanks to @macgenie for the daily inspiration.
Catching up on some podcasts. If it wasn’t for Andy Ihnatko’s good sense I don’t think I could ever listen to Macbreak Weekly again. He brings a welcome balance to proceedings.
“Take me to the fantastic place
Keep the rest of my life away”
A highlight of the recent Marillion shows.
The history of Monopoly, the property trading game, is much more interesting than the game itself. This is the sort of thing you learn while idly clicking through Wikipedia.
The British political system is antiquated and needs reform but I’m very happy that no mega rich person can decide to run for prime minister just because they feel like it.
I paid for a discounted subscription to Inoreader but I’m already regretting the decision. I much prefer the simplicity of Feedbin. It’s good to mix things up now and again but it didn’t work out this time.
