Have a Mac and need to post your email without being added to hundreds of email spam lists?

Apple's Hide My Email is a great way to create temporary email address you can delete or deactivate later.

Was looking at a slushie maker and saw a writeup for one:
"Go wild and create your own concoctions using fruit juice, syrup, squash or flavourings."

Squash? 🤢🤮

What's next, 7-11 selling Brussel Sprout or Turnip flavoured slurpees? 😵‍💫

Trying to make sure I spend some time working on my own stuff everyday, even when it gets incredibly busy with comics work.

So this morning was spent working on a menubar app - adding new features and improving how it works.

I hope to have it finished by end of month.

Taking my Dropbox Folder Watcher app for comic work a little further.

Emails now show date and time of latest update, and previews of the files and file names (Blurred out in image below).

Watching ‘Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight’

Had to switch to the original Polish soundtrack because the English dubbing is so awful and doesn’t match the English subtitles.

Why do they call them ‘Devilled Eggs’ when “Eggorcists” was right there?

Love the Selection Pen in clipstudiopaint for areas too narrow for the Auto Selection (wand) tool to grab:

I love the Hide My Email feature in MacOS. Great for those "FREE!" offers that require you to give them your email address.

If the "FREE!" thing turns out not to be worth your time - delete that email and never hear from them again.

I'm no longer getting emails or notification from Dropbox when files are added to a Followed Folder.

It seems to be happening to a few others as well. So I wrote a menu bar app in Xojo which lets me know when new files are added to a Followed Folder.

Later today I'll add one more thing - emai

Ordered a 60-pack of hearing aid batteries from Amazon for $25. Hopefully they last as long as the $90 60-pack from the audiologist.

Also bought a new horror novel: In Winter’s Garden by Mark Hurst.

If you have the SF Symbols app on macOS, you can use it to copy symbols as an SVG and paste them into Affinity Designer for editing.

Use the Divide command to break it down into its composite parts for making custom icons.

AC is up and running, and I’ve made enough jalapeño popper potato salad to fill 3/4 of a 4L ice cream bucket - one less thing to cook for the next 4 hot days in a row.

Well, it took 6 tries to nail down the Spicy, Smokey Bourbon BBQ sauce.

Note to self - wear latex gloves when removing seeds from re-hydrated dried chilies.

I love that you can create your own custom tools in
Clip Studio Paint

Photoshop has a Line Tool, but you can create a better, more versatile Line Tool in Clip Studio Paint.

Still working my way through the Kolchak: The Night Stalker 50th anniversary graphic novel, savoring each of the stories.

Retired Kolchak with an X-Files cameo was the bomb.

Apparently there's an #iceberg in Canadian waters that looks like a giant prick. I don't think it looks like Pierre Poilievre at all.

#clipstudiotip Popup palettes appear where your cursor is. Adding shortcuts for Color Set popup palettes or Color History popup palettes saves time.

#clipstudiopaint tip: Turn off 'Confirm shape with double-click or double tap' when using the Polyline tools to avoid having it close up automatically when clicking too quickly with your pen.

You'll have to close it manually, or use the return/enter key to close the selection.

Apple Live Caption fail:
What Daniel Batal says is:
"DaVinci Resolve for noobs."

Apple Live Captions thinks he said:

DaVinci Resolve 18.5 Beta (Studio version) has automatic transcriptions and automatic subtitling/closed captioning.

There's multiple videos talking about DaVinci Resolve's new Automatic Subtitling feature - but this is the only one who actually used it to caption their video. 🤦🏽‍♂️
