With the light off, then on.

The light has a press-and-stick tape to mount it to the underside of the desk.

Drawing with Pen and Ink, Arthur L. Guptil. One of the best books on inking ever.

🎵 And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
"What's going on?" 🎵

I'm pretty sure this guy is the only one who makes that particular order, and he only does it at Burger King:

Second batch of empanadas from the oven. There's two more super-sized ones still cooking.

To turn off Google's Gemini "Smart Features" which scans your emails for AI training, click the Settings Icon, then the See All Settings button that pops up. Scroll down until you see "Turn on smart features in Gmail, Chat and Meet" and turn that AI shit off.

Dusted and rearranged my work desk so I can use my iPad Air on it when necessary.

Use your new keyboard shortcut to bring up the Edit Page. One huge advantage to the Edit Page is you can zoom in and out on the timeline, which you can't do in the Cut Page.

Just found out you can access the Edit Page in DaVinci Resolve on iPad with keyboard shortcuts.

Use ⌘⌥K (Command + Option + K) to bring up the Keyboard Customization panel. Enter 'Page' in the search box to make it easier to find.

Add your own shortcut to the Edit Page in Workspace -> Show Page

#ClipStudioPaint Tip for iPad:
Give yourself an extra 1/2" of room on your iPad. Turn off Status Bar in the Preferences, and then use Shift + Tab to hide the Clip Studio Paint Menu Bar. (Shift + Tab will bring it back).

Doing Chicken and Waffles for dinner tonight. We have a vertical waffle maker, but it's a bit of pain trying to pour batter into the spout.

Going to get one of these pancake batter dispenses to make it easier:

Cleaning our balcony garden and picking the veggies. Below is the hot pepper crop. I tried one of the smaller green ones. Started off with the bottom - it was like a mildly warm green pepper. By the time I finished the top part - it was going nuclear.

Have to figure out how to dry or freeze them.

Fun with new Lock screens from my photos. One is the stern of a BC Ferry looking towards Vancouver Island, the other from a street nearby on the way home from playing poker.

Here's the code for changing Shift + F to a Z key.
It only changes the keys when it's done on device ID 42 - my one-handed gamepad keyboard. This way it doesn't affect up my main, full keyboard - otherwise typing file names, layer names etc is going to be affected if it used any keyboard.

Here's the Complex Modifications settings in Karabiner Elements.

Clip Studio Paint doesn't allow you to use modifier keys with Tool shortcuts - i.e. Shift + F. But you can work around that with keyboard remappers like Karabiner Elements.

Kitchen or bathroom? If it's the latter, you might want Drain Snake Hair Clog Remover.

It's worked wonders when our bathroom sink and tub are clogged.

But what you pull out will be epically gross.

In the American Flagg comic, Reuben Flagg's porn star character "Mark Thrust" is replaced with an AI hologram (Trompolography), forcing him to choose between enlisting in combat on Mars, or becoming a Ranger on Earth.

I had leftover potato slices after making dinner last night. So I threw some salt, pepper and paprika on them, put them on parchment paper on a tray and threw them in the oven at 350°.

After about 18 minutes, I flipped them over and cooked them for another 7 minutes.

Damn tasty potato chips!

One advantage to using Multiple Input (freehand and lasso) with lasso based tools in Clip Studio Paint is you don't have to hold down the Option/Alt key to make straight lines, and you can pan and scrubby zoom in the middle of a selection.

I use it here with the Lasso Fill tool.
