My new camera has arrived. Expect some test photos soon.

If it turns out that Republicans didn’t turn out because they throught the Georgia election was rigged… well, that’s what you get for getting into bed with a demagogue.

Ordered a new camera and lens and it’s on its way! Not certain if this is the right choice but with a two week return window, I’ll take the risk. Hopefully I can share some photos soon. Keeping the model a surprise for now :)

New year so I guess this means I can restart my newsletter after the break…the question is should I…

Hello Micropeople. I took the festive season off (from work and MB…for the most part) I hope you are all well and had a jolly time.

Watching Arsenal vs Chelsea and thinking β€œout of all the London clubs, I’d choose AFC Wimbledon.”

BONUS DAY!

Chris last week: “I have stopped doing morning writing because of my daughter and our house guest. I can’t get up before them or disturb them. That’s why I don’t do this habit anymore.” Chris this week (who’s currently home alone): yeah, I’m still not doing morning writing.

Just found out I have booked an extra day of holiday before the end of the year. So I stop at the end of today, not tomorrow! I have no idea what I’m going to do with this bonus day except wake up and shout “BONUS DAY!!!!”

Yesterday I finally recorded the new Sketchnote in the classroom guide (an intro to sketchnoting and some principled ideas for how teachers can start using Sketchnotes in their own classrooms).
I need to edit it and then uploaded but I’m really excited to update the free course and share it.

Took a walk in the mist today.

Happy weekend everyone. Thank you for being the best* community on the internet.

*definitions of β€œbest” may vary.

πŸ”— Overthinking? Try this iOS Shortcut.

As usual, I found myself overthinking this week about small details and not getting much done on the big stuff. It’s been happening too often lately, delaying my newsletter and book projects. But this week, I decided to do something about it. I built a kind of break-glass-in-case-of-emergency shortcut for whenever I’m stuck in a rut and overthinking.

I really like this idea from CJ Chilvers. I think I might steal/adapt.

So I created a little t-shirt to go along with Learn Create Share 10pts to the first person to identify the main influence of the shirt.
50pts if anyone identifies the font inspiration.

Just sold my e-m1. Less than I wanted, probably a fair price. A lot closer to camera budget goal and with one fewer camera, I have a space for a new one now. Still not just what exactly I should get.

I created a seven step guide to start sketchnoting today.

Give it a go if you want to make your first sketchnote.

We finished Ted Lasso. It got even better.

Continuing the joy of multiple Englisehes. The blog separated by a common language has some fantastic articles…if you like that sort of thing. Which I do. If you don’t, look away.

After @joshuapsteele ’s recent post I’d like to know

  • What Americanisms British people like.
  • What Britishism Americans like. …and any other regonial variations of English (I.e. Aussieisms or …Kiwiisms?)
