Ha! I found it … it was the subtle drop shadows. Illustrator selects the object whose drop shadow you click on. OMG. 😂 #ama

I like it!

I mean: I’m trying to sort atoms here!! 🤪

Illustrator is so broken these days. It regularly gets the mouse pointer position wrong, selecting the object next to the one I’m actually hovering over. 😕 The same goes for InDesign, which just shows a gray screen instead of my document whenever I unplug my external display to work in another room.

In Camera, one of the songs on her latest album, CharliXCX sings: When the camera's on I can be anything that I wanna be And I can feel the things I don't normally feel When I heard these words, I couldn’t help but think about them from an art history perspective. Portraits ...

I wrote this post on Thursday, July 23rd, and reviewed and slightly refined it today. I have left the post as a stream of consciousness – a snippet of my mind as it was on the morning I walked around and saw the world. Walking among the stream of people; of stories of life ...

I woke early — it has been warm lately. It is strange how you can find a burst of energy at 5am, but today it came, for I decided to organise my bookshelves, sorting what books I am ready to donate to the local charity shop. I picked up books — stories — and thought about t...

I wrote the following while standing on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, listening to music and watching the world.
The joy of closing your eyes and being able to listen to the bagpipes. I look into the distance and see a traffic cone on the head of a statue. I notice how much busier it is than in previous weeks — how a place comes alive at different times, and in different months and seasons. The joy of standing in the busy city and watching the world move around you — people sauntering and thinking and looking and catching and eating and speaking and jumping and being, of the crowds gathering to watch and hear the piper. Of letting the wind blow through my hair while the sun shines and the music plays; standing next to raised beds of flowers // the colours of green and pink and purple and white are soothing.

Reality Awaits!

And yes, it uses a vocoder throughout.

Bonus points if you don’t have to look it up. 😁

By the way, has everybody switched to that vibe-coded WordPress fork by now? What was it called again…?

the direction of music; the music of direction.

I close my eyes and listen to the church bells reverberate through the city — the air, the street, the park; the hearts. Usually when I go into a bookshop, I find myself looking at all the books. Often, for nothing in particular, but rather to see what is new. Who knows wha...

Nicht zu früh freuen. Der respahnt bestimmt.

Earlier today, I wanted to link to a specific year of posts on my Coffee category page. Importantly, all of my posts in a category are listed on a single page. I do this because I like having an overview of all posts on a single page. And, by having all post tiles on one pag...

Every so often, I publish a blog post with a longer title. When this happens, sometimes the post title wraps onto a second line in my list of blog posts on my site home page. This was a tiny detail, but one that I would often notice. Last night, I brought the design to Fron...
