I did it. I updated my giant "extreme two point perspective" file. 20400 pixels wide x 10904 pixels tall. 5px, hard round lines, fanned out from the right and the left with .1 degree of separation between them. I use this all the time but the old version was a little raggedy so I updated it. 1.29gb.

Sometimes I want to record video tutorials of how my weird (but good!) Photoshop tools/hacks work. Can you recommend software or a website for that? What could I use to record my 2020 iMac, and where could this video be hosted? Thanks if you have a tip!

I'm doing this high stakes Mission Impossible where I copy my iPhoto library to an external SSD hard drive. Then make that my system photo library connected to iCloud. Then delete the original to open up like 500gb of space on my iMac. I'm afraid I'll mess up and lose it all. Oh well! Here we go...

I think it's cool that Emily Wilson criticized the Odyssey movie the way she did. I hope Christopher Nolan's feelings aren't hurt too bad. Anyway I shouldn't even read this because I really want to see the movie - I think it'll be my second movie since River was born!

I finally (sixth reading??) got to the part of Shadow of the Torturer where he drops an explicit clue that the torturer’s tower is a spaceship and I actually picked up on it. Like every other time I didn’t notice. But this time - yeah there it is. Neat!!!! (6th to the last paragraph of chapter 13)

Maybe I’ll invent like 7 sock puppet accounts and create a discourse between them. Like the discourse I wish existed in my social media. I think all the famous posters do this anyway probabaly.

Sayaka and I have a new favorite gift to give people. We do this for a kid's birthday. You get the kid whatever. A book. And you get the parents *a nice bottle of wine.* Killer.

I have to do a lot of online research and image searching for my current project. So I am constantly bombarded with Google's AI thing up top, and then finding images that are AI generated, and going to websites which are just AI rehashes. Fuck. This. World. This is worse!

A dad at the birthday party started talking to me about poetry but he wanted to talk about how he’s trying to get his AI model to sound more beautiful when it gives him answers. Ugh.
