X is bad.

Doing...

I'm not updating my personal Mac so this isn't relevant to me but this script turns off all the Apple Intelligence shit on MacOS and gets the model space back.

Here we are, a week into extended September and Relay's annual fundraiser has come to a close with over $750k raised — and nearly $9k of that came from mine and Adam's campaign.

Over a year ago I bought a Kodak Charmera keyring mini camera; it's a tiny little camera that takes photos at 1440x1080 and I was lucky enough to get the best design.

Dave is doing important work here, holding Cadbury Heroes to account.

Brad is walking in Memphis this week for the podcastathon so we recorded this episode a couple of weeks ago.

It's Inktober again which means I'm drawing one thing a day, in ink, from the official[1] prompt list.

We've added new stickers to the St Jude fundraiser including a sparkly Jimothy.

Since I made Doodle Scan I've had a bunch of ideas of things I can do with image manipulation — it led to me finally doing my favicon generator.

Back in July I broke own rule of never backing a hardware Kickstarter and backed a hardware Kickstarter for a Pen N — a pen that supports 100s of refills with a universal clamp that screws into the barrel.

The St Jude Fundraiser passed $150k overall and we hit $6k on ours last night.

A few months ago, Brad came up with analog defaults loosely based on the Hemispheric Views app defaults.

Last night I was reading this excellent post about scanning pencil artwork and the first step the artist mentioned is setting the pallette to greyscale.

Our St Jude Fundraiser has blasted past $5k, and I had to make a an Obsidian base to keep track of all the drawings I need to do.

If you missed it, Adam and I are raising money for St Jude this month and you can donate here.

Update 2026-09-04 This was previously numbered as 2016 but it should have been 2015 so the title is fixed, the slug is not We just passed $2000 on the St Jude Fundraiser and it’s not even September yet.

tl;dr: Cancer is bad, St Jude is good, donate here Adam and I are once again raising money for St Jude as part of Relay's annual fundraising event.

I've tried for months to redesign my site.

This update has been way too long - January was the last one.

The final thing I always do for a project is make the favicon and open graph image but finding a site not riddled with ads to generate these has always been a bit of a challenge.

To start with, both my wife and I have alerts turned off because when they did a test in 2023 we had a one month old baby and didn't want her to be disturbed.

When I posted about my zine I mentioned being surprised that there wasn't any tools for showing zines online like a web component or similar.

I announced the shut down EchoFeed which I intend to write more about soon.

Update This episode was recorded prior to me deciding to shut down EchoFeed James invited me onto his podcast, Web Weaving, to discuss the IndieWeb, EchoFeed (RIP), stickers, pens, and some of my other web projects.

While scanning my time travel zine I thought it would be nice to include some drawings I've done as part of my website, similar to how Ana has on her site.

I've wanted to make a zine for a while — it has a nice combination of drawing, writing, and being a physical item that appeals to me but I couldn't find the right topic to tackle until I realised I'd already done the writing part of it with my post entitl…

TL;DR I'm shutting down EchoFeed within the next 12 months when the final subscriptions expire.

I asked for recommendations for courses and books related to learning drawing techniques and I got a bunch of great suggestions.

I posted about my June-Boree entries a couple of weeks ago and the winners were announced on episode 167.

I backed this pen Kickstarter despite breaking my rule of no hardware Kickstarters - the company, Antou, seem to know what they're doing but we'll see.

Preamble June-Boree is a reimagining of Arcadia June.
