Ditto. And my wife has seen more Star Trek than I have.

Colonel Sanders: Second row, second from right

The crowd behind home plate at the world series. In the crowd is a man who looks like the famed KFC Colonel Sanders.

I had no idea Colonel Sanders was a baseball fan.

I prefer my Outback hat for rainy weather. Waterproof, keeps the rain off my hearing aids, leaves my hands free
And since there's no umbrella, there's a zero percent chance of becoming Mary Poppins and flying over Vancouver Island while screaming like a little girl.

A brown, wide-brimmed leather hat, similar to a cowboy hat.

Two loaves of sourdough bread baked up for bruschetta to go with shrimp and dumplings tonight.

Two golden brown, scored loaves of bread sitting diagonally on parchment paper on a baking tray.

It's been a while since I've seen Independence Day, but I feel like Donald Trump has done more damage to the White House than the aliens did in that movie.

I feel like I could do a Cinema Sins style video about wrong with this game "trailer", but who wants to watch a 80-minute video about a 90-second trailer?

I think I lost brain cells watching that.

iPad Air is charging up. Comic pages backed up to it, 30K mAh battery pack fully charged. All ready for today's Atmospheric River and severe weather conditions hitting the Metro Vancouver area.

I hear the Epstein Ballroom will be illuminated solely by gaslighting.

It failed the Turing Test...
It failed the Voight-Kampff test...
It failed the basic logic test...

It's like they're not even trying anymore.

When we saw that scene, all I could think was, "Biggest wave ever, and not one single surfer?"

Dear shit-sucking telephone scammers: Absolutely no one is buying multiple iPhone 13's on their Amazon account.

I love the Elgato Stream Deck, but this new Virtual Stream Deck is pretty damn useful - I keep my pen on screen a little more instead of moving it to the physical Stream Deck.

Elgato's new update can add a virtual Stream Deck to your screen:

I have a Keydial mini, but for changing brush sizes, taking my hand off the screen to use it takes longer than Cmmd drag.

I have a one-handed keypad, but it doesn’t have a scroll wheel. I remapped keys to use [ & ] instead.

There’s also the Tool Slider palette.

I hope everyone refers to it as the Epstein Ballroom from now on.

To change the brush size, I hold down Command and Drag:

Mark Sweeney 🇨🇦 @marksweeney.bsky.social · 2d

In the Modifier Key Settings, I changed the Command (⌘) key to "Change Brush Size." This is way faster to do large brush size changes than the default larger/smaller brush size keyboard shortcut (square bracket keys) [ ].

The Modifier Key Settings for my Pen Tools. Highlighted in red is "Cmmd: Change Brush Size"

This setup is going to be so much fun with Microsoft's huge push for people to talk to their computers. 😖
