I still use an old 6x8 wireless Wacom tablet. It’s my 3rd Wacom tablet… it takes a bit of tweaking all the settings, but their software is great.

I didn’t discover that there are about 10 different nibs stored inside the pen cup for years.

I love Affinity Designer for vector work. The rope stabilizer and line editing tools are great.

If anyone that works at chipotle is watching this is the correct way to make a burrito.

Do NOT put each ingredient one after the other… that’s just a kebab without the stick.

Take 2 Ambien, and a lorazepam and wait for the walrus to tell me what to do.

I’m not a huge fan of the Bible but isn’t this the bit where Jebus gets pissed at the money changers for charging fees?

Would not have paid fifty-cents for that at GoodWill™ 😅

High and tight gentlemen… high and tight.

I’m going to switch my vote to the hybrid approach; paint the van to look like a bike lane, then you can park in any bike lane. Plus it’s just taping off two stripes and hitting it with a can of driveway crack filler.

Some kind of innocuous but official sounding government agency.

Department of the Interior Development or something… liberally apply reflective striped tape in random spots, toss a yellow light-bar on top… you know, make it look official.

Now enjoy parking anywhere for extended periods of time.

Or just copy any of Krieger‘s vans from the show Archer. 

 

Fine work you’re doing here… really hope I can hand a lend someday.

 

Anyone notice siri no longer recognizes common foreign idoms anymore? Either in TTS or Ask Siri… The only concrete example I have is recognizing “Croque Monsieur” since my love for hot ham sandwiches has spanned the ages… but I feel like there’s something more nefarious at work here.

It feels like used to be able to ask for a info about random foreign words and it would at least trigger a web search for something phonetically similar, which would often get me the translation I was after. But lately* the TTS engine is militantly transforming everything into English. Obviously this is more subtle and open to other interpretations, but for example I just asked her what “hikikomori” were which got interpreted as “Hickam Morty,” with top hits for the show Rick and Morty.

 

Not sure if I just haven’t noticed the standard disclaimer before or if it’s a new “feature” 😬

 

Okay, it probably doesn’t really qualify because it’s; new, high-budget, directed by Zac Snyder, etc. But hear me out. This hot mess starts with space-nazis vs space-vikings, takes a turn through Star Wars, Oceans Eleven, space-Rome, and a few tropes that defy easy space-hyphenation.

To say the plot makes almost no sense would be generous. I’m loathed to spoil the greater arc here, but the plot does hinge on a village on the edge of space being forced to harvest grain in order to feed a passing army… there’s probably a Kurosawa reference here somewhere, but good movies just aren’t my jamb so I wouldn’t know ;-)

As I stare at the frozen credits at the end of part two and contemplate my life I have to note that there must actually have been footage cut from this movie (you’ll understand if you watch it) because they credit a Snake Wrangler!

So, if you have 4-5 hours of free time this weekend, a Netflix account you haven’t already cancelled, and are allergic to nice weather, I humbly submit, for your consideration: Rebel Moon parts I & II.

………. (All the periods I probably should have used)
