Do you have Brushes app files? Read this.

This morning I got a GitHub notification. It was on an issue about Brushes app drawing files. It’s this comment: I realise this is a very old thread, but thought this might be of interest to some of you. Someone asked us recently about recovering paintings from the original Brushes app. We’d worked with Brushes...

Not that William Gibson

I sometimes find myself amused at the errors of recommendation systems. I worked for a streaming music company for several years, and music services are NOTHING but recommendation systems. Heck, walk into a record store or turn on an FM radio and those entities are recommending you listen to music or pick up music. And...

Romantics, VI

Rain falling from the sky, I looked downward to the concrete path. The concrete became a solid, watery mirror, reflecting back thoughts and questions. How can I romanticise while staying grounded? I appreciate the rain: falling water after a dry season. When something is go...

Of Days

I have thought about winter through all the seasons this year. The season has become something of a frame of reference – of times when days are shorter and the air is colder, and of times where the brilliant blue skies come alive in the stillness of the season. I spend less ...

Walking

I stand before Nature, looking up to a castle bathed in gold light. What are perfect places? I wonder if this is the closest I’ll find: with the air of home and the light of Day, with the breeze in the trees and history to see; with life in the moment and rhythm and movement...

The views

“Wow, look at the views!” called out a young girl, maybe four years old, on the train. After making a few more observations, she repeated the words — “Look at the views.” — then said “Dad, I can see the forest.” “Wow, look at those stones. They are so big.”

It was a delight to hear the world narrated through another’s eyes, to have what I saw out the window verbalised, giving room for me to think about the forest, to notice the stones — to hear how there is always something to see wherever we look.

The family were a few tables away, but their voices carried far.

Sunflowers in the Sky

“I wonder what it’s like – “ “You can keep wondering”, said Oliver, interrupting Jenny. “It’s not real. It can’t be real. I mean, you’re studying physics. Tell me on what basis people could fly.” Oliver was a terrific tutor, but never quite mastered the art of tact in conve...

Pages

What can hold the essence of day and night, warmth and cold, art and story, and time and space? Pages. (and hearts.) ⁂ ⁂ ⁂ When I look around, I see and feel the presence of pages in my life. To my right are two textbooks – one on art and its environments, the other on cre...

📄 FLE updates

Last week, I received a nice comment about my little 35mm Focal Length
Equivalents site (short: FLE). And that was enough motivation to improve
the site. I still had - and still have - ideas to improve the site, and so
I spent some hours to make it a little better.

Autumn days

Gusts of wind blow away the red leaves on the tall tree, propelling colour into the air that washes over the sky and slowly falls to the ground with the invisible current. In the foreground, small drops of rain are blown sideways. Standing by the window, I am watching autumn...

My favourite tracks on The Life of a Showgirl: Encore

I visit the Taylor Swift Subreddit regularly to follow along with news in the community, to read fun questions, and to see art made by fans. Lately I have been thinking along the lines of slashdiv that it would be good to see more fandom discussions in the small web. Then, l...
