Over the weekend I had an unpleasant surprise.

    My company isn’t closing at the end of the month. It’s closing at the end of this week (meaning I get paid even less for this month).

    This whole process really has been difficult. I have managed to keep a somewhat positive outlook but at the same time it’s basically been a grieving process.

    Just used @gr36 status.lol shortcut to post my first status.

    Today I learned that 75% of our sensory neurons are visual neurons.

    The new gather desk stuff looks stunning. But those prices!

    (Also I backed the first kit and my desk doesn’t really have space for it all!)

    The world can feel dark at times and as though everything is getting worse.

    But there’s progress that is making people’s lives better.

    I mean just think about it. Kids today will never know the pain of trying to plug a USB-A cable in correctly.

    My daughter rejected my chunky tomato sauce last night so I made ”totally different” tomato sauce tonight and she ate it all.

    Amazing how much flavor a blender adds.

    macOS ventura is generally nice but my phone keeps wanting to be used as a webcam at random moments. I don’t really get that one.

    Public service announcement: This sauce is amazing. We usually make our own sauce but this one is so worth it. It is a bit too spicy for our kids though.

    Amazing what you can do with just a crayola.

    I just found out I have a Google Stadia account apparently.

    I think I’ve used it 0 times and it’s going to shut down.

    Oh well.

    Really amazed to have partnered with Faithlife to create a Logos 10 (Bible study software) review and preview video. 10 new and noteworthy features in Logos 10 in under 10 minutes. .

    May or may not be influenced by a recent trip to the softplay area this weekend.

    Got a 0.38 refil for my spoke pen. Happy days.

    Pro job application tip.

    Delete your CV with the typo in so you don’t accidentally send that one out instead.

    When cooking lasagna I often sing

    “Bechamel, bechamel mucho.”

    That may or may not have just happened.

    I’ve been running the macOS Ventura beta for a few days. I’ve seen the stage manager option in the control centre a couple of times. Each time I see it I think “Not today satan!”

    Back to applying for jobs 😔

    I just had to state my salary exception “so not to waste people’s times”…If only the hiring company thought to disclose their salary range so they didn’t waste applicants time.

    Finished reading: The Way of the Heart by Henri J. M. Nouwen 📚

    We were making homemade pizza yesterday evening and I asked my wife what she wanted on hers.

    She said olives & sundried tomatoes which I was holding.

    She smiled and then said “and maybe some an…”

    I held up the anchovies.

    Seven years and I couldn’t be happier

    For Inktober this year I’m practicing some larger drawing skills (for graphic recording). Early lessons

    1. Keep your letters consistent (whoops)
    2. Make sure your ink isn’t running out!
    3. I wish I had considered how much space I would have for everything ✍️
