Two week sprints for teams that need to collaborate is insane to me.

I got an extra drive to test Linux, but haven't experimented beyond Ubuntu, should I ask what xububtu is?

I watched Constantine again this past year and was disheartened by the awful slop sequel trailers.

Though, funny enough, I thought the very real teaser for Nosferatu was made with AI at first, and looking back at it now… it still feels that way.

I'm a big fan of Magpies, they're very clever, and will start to recognize you. They like shelled peanuts, and will often collect and store them around.

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

Watch studios and publishers hear you and respond with "we heard the requests, so we're cutting budgets for all our productions to give you what you ask for."

"I could fix her" ok well I could accept her for who she is. I need her to make me worse

I've been looking for a replacement for Adobe Lightroom Classic for a while, one of the people at the camera shop swore by Luminary Neo, so I'd been keeping an eye on it.

There's currently a Humble Bundle with a great deal on the app and some LUTs and presets.

Just picked up a copy of "Understanding Comics" as a present for a young neighbor who's been making a journal in comic format.

Then I noticed the endorsement blurb at the top. 😅 I wonder how long before there's a new printing, and if that stays there.

I found this out just this week, as I spurred myself to get back to trying Affinity. 😅

Hoping for the best, expecting the worst. Maybe Canva keeps Affinity as a prestige label, to cover the audience that are beyond their base offering. 🤔

Steve Jobs convinced the world that nerds were cool, then the nerds went on to ruin the world and economy.

Ohhh, I want to know!

I once made a make-out playlist that was very good, which was confirmed by the person who I guess started hooking up with my crush.

The fox news guy changing where he parts his hair is a bigger visual difference than the other guy.

It's a pretty accurate assessment, nice that it shows through in the work.

What if we rebooted Syndicate in the far distance of Cyberpunk. 🤔

This is great advice and looks good with what you're sharing.

"Brevity is the soul of wit" is a guiding principle for me… I just have to do a lot of editing to get from thought to wit. 😅

What I have up now is pretty solid for game UX work, but I haven't had much luck courting tech UX & product design.

It's a bad time across industries, so it seems all the more important to have impeccable presentation.

I've been working on my portfolio for a while. The content is mostly in place, but I need to turn some of the work into a case study format, which means finding or recreating parts of the process.

The worst part is writing copy, knowing most hiring managers will just skim it at best.

I was going to look back into Affinity tools (Designer, Photo, Publisher)… only to find they've put purchases on hold until October 31st without much messaging about why.

I'm curious to see how Canva's purchase of Serif changes things for upcoming versions.

The full moon made a beautifully eerie silhouette of the rooftop architectural elements in my 1800's Edinburgh neighborhood.

Starting to watch "Halt and Catch Fire" with little prior knowledge (other than Lee Pace being a gift) and wow, great start.

It's such a nice touch. Added bonus that the UI looks great too.
