It’s amazing how beepy bloopy music (example from today) can suddenly trigger my brain into a sense of focus and motivation for work. Anyone else experience that?
Side effect of GA4 is I’m removing analytics from many of my old sites. I never really check them anymore so why bother. Plus GA4 is a dumpster fire.
“Coffee is the answer”

Struggling with something in my head today so mucking around in procreate and single line portraits (With extra layers for colour).
I think this might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for me with 1password. I have no idea what I’ll replace it with though, maybe just iCloud keychain now it can do one time passwords too.
Good news. I’ve found my Ricoh Gr at my folks place. I don’t have the right charger with me but at least I will be able to use it again soon. In the meantime it’s been fun to use my MJU ii in London.
I was reading about childhood wounds and acting out like a child yesterday. So I made so,e journaling prompts to help me think about situations where I don’t act the way I wish to. Feel free to use them if you think they are useful

I started a little Van Gough inspired background for my zoom calls. I might add more details but I’m also tempted to try a more manga style one too.
I’ll be in London and free on Friday. I don’t suppose there are any micronauts who want to have a micro meetup in central London?
This weekend I started a page in Obsidian for the “We’re going to need a bigger car” project. Maybe the PARA organising system has its place.
I decided to try Hipstermatic again and it made iPhone photography feel fun again. I think it’s mostly just a change from “the iPhone look” to photo processing.
I’ve just finished the first draft of a free email course. “How to draw anything ( sketchily ) in just 5 days. It’s a set of daily activities that teach you some common drawing techniques to use in Sketchnotes and visual note taking. If that sounds interesting to you sign up here. It’s free
Happy “this-is-the-way-nesday” to all who celebrate.
I’m glad to see Leicester have found someone for the manager role till the end of the season. With things going as they were, they looked the most likely to go down. I have no idea if Dean Smith can turn it around but I hope he can.
I’m a big fan of Scribd but today I experienced the downside of the “netflix” model.
I had been using Federic Bush’s excellent commentary on Ruth-Esther for an essay, but it’s been taken down (and won’t come back till after my essay deadline).
It’s not cheap to buy, but I have my highlights
I’m glad to see the Polish tax website has added Ukrainian as an option. I’m less glad to see the English translation has disappeared! Por que no los tres?
