Over the last three nights been binging the MCU Spidey films in prep for the new one. Still think Homecoming is the best of the three, though Far From Home is a very close second. No Way Home has genuinely good stuff but it's a bit of a mess. Heard good things about the new one so hope it's ok.

Last night, after many (many) failed attempts, I finally finished Legion of the Necromancer, a solo game book in the vein of Lone Wolf and a lot of those other old titles. It was a lot of fun but DIFFICULT. If you roll low on your Skill at the beginning might as well scrap it and start over.

Progress on my gallery app for cataloging your art and source files. It auto-generates previews of everything (including Procreate, PSD, Affinity, and CLIP), has search, tagging, organization into projects, and doesn't touch or need to duplicate your source files. Runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Getting really close to a test release of my app. It creates a catalog of your source files (even across multiple folders & cloud drives) so that you can see them all in one place, organize them, quickly open them in your art app, export preview images, and more.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

An aircraft passenger oxygen mask: a drop down passenger mask with air bag and yellow plastic mouth and nose cover, oxygen tube has been cut; Demonstration model used by flight attendant crew for passenger instruction. Has text on the side indicating that it's non-functional.

It's stupid, but I've always desperately wanted to know how Rifftrax got the rights to release the Star Wars Holiday Special as a video on demand title when previously it had to be "acquired" via alternative means. I want to know how that meeting went down. It tasks me.

What's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story

Woke up today in a bad mood and so far everything in my day is compounding it. Can't wait to go home (where I have chores awaiting me, which will assuredly make my mood oh so much more effervescent, he said sarcastically).

Frances Bean Cobain is married to Tony Hawk's son, and they have a child. Imagine being able to play a series of video games where you play exclusively as your own grandfather. That's a very niche genre, "Pop Pop Games".

hey. one comic artist to another i gotta tell you. it's okay if that panel is a lil messy. a lil imperfect. a lil botched. i promise you your readers will be reading and so into the story they don't notice. and even if they do? so what. you've got so many more panels to draw. get your story out.

Watched the Doomsday trailer and... Enh? I mean it's well cut and the music is dramatic and oooh ahh the X-Men but... I dunno I'm just tired is all. Somebody make an Usagi Yojimbo movie. Man, would you get my butt in the theater for that.

There's a few pieces of original art left over from con season, so they're all down to £45 with the discount... Help me get my office space back, buy some stuff!
