Confidence carries people a long way in life, often before their skill is ever truly tested. It offers a unique kind of freedom from doubt and has a way of putting others at ease. Confidence is the tool of choice for many of the heroes we admire. When used appropriately, it’s a genuine virtue.
I’ve been thinking a lot about confidence as a resource …
Space. The final frontier… for a flower. #art

Smart folks keep recommending Adobe Fresco to me. Thinking I might try it out for the next page of Niceferatu—see how it goes!
Hi. I drew slime thing.
I just watched the animated Super Mario movie, it was on Netflix and I figured it would kill a few hours. Oh my gosh. What an absolute delight to watch. Loved it.
Standing in a takeaway, waiting for a feast for my daughter and me. Being able to work on my novel right from my phone is brilliant—no compromises, no hassle. Ulysses might just be the perfect tool after all.
I write, and honestly, I think I write pretty well. I’ve written five novels (all available, for free, via the ‘My Writing’ button at the top of my website.) I am specifically commenting here on AI as a writing support tool.
AI has been a hot topic for a while now among creatives, hobbyists, opinionated internet dwellers, and news outlets. There’s …
It shut down back in 2014, but honestly, I still find myself thinking about Free Realms sometimes.
You know when you have and have to make draw it… #art #StarTrek
I’m currently trying the week-long trial of the Ulysses writing app because I need a writing environment which works on all my devices. It has everything I want, but I detest subscriptions. Still, it works on iPad, iPhone and Mac and Without synching issues and the grammar tooling is nice.
Happy Easter.

Since the advent of the modern desktop paradigm in the mid-90s, not a great deal has changed in how we interact with desktop computing interfaces. Sure, the tiling desktop interface has gained popularity in the Linux world over the past decade — DWM, for instance, has been around for about 18 years now. But for the vast majority of computer users, …
I’ve got a few tasks to get through this morning, then I’m planning to finish a dragon drawing I’ve been working on—after that, it’s down to the serious business of writing.
I keep getting tempted to try Ulysses (the writing app,) more seriously, but the subscription puts me off. I also need to test if the offline mode is truly offline. It has so many nice features which Scrivener mobile is missing. #writing
I know I go on about this a lot, but it’s ridiculous that the Apple Journal app isn’t on macOS or iPad. I want to use it—it’s just too limited as it is.
I tried a version with Daft Punk lyrics, but it didn’t quite work. So here’s this one instead. #art
Even after a year without gaming, The Forgotten City still pops into my head—it was brilliant. I’d love a show or film based on it… might even play it again, one day.
As someone who used to create YouTube videos, I feel compelled to say that when you watch reviews from content creators, they’re almost always just telling you what they want from a product. The iPad doesn’t need macOS; a phone or laptop is fine if it works, regardless of CPU or RAM.
Friend Wing linked this to me this morning. A very interesting list of websites, dare we say blogs.
I experienced some strange micro.blog problems today. Older posts weren’t showing up, which might have been a theme-related issue. Thankfully, everything seems to be working fine now.
Sir snail gave them all the time they needed… #art
Recent changes to products I use have left me suspicious of application pricing. This, coupled with the capitalistic obsession of locking users into services, has led me to overhaul almost all of the software I rely on for productivity. I’m mad as all heck about it, and I hope the following paragraphs serve as a warning to those who haven’t yet …
Had a fantastic day at the safari park today. Was great fun. Drove many miles but now I’m home and ready to spend my evening writing.
