Just a Heads-Up. YouTube is about to upscale ALL SD videos using A.I. Back up EVERYTHING you care about NOW. All those old videos you enjoyed? GONE. Permanently altered by a feature nobody asked for. Enjoy being gaslit for eternity as the VHS aesthetic evaporates overnight. Welcome to hell world.

Got my whiteboard all set up and have started using it along with a bunch of notepads to write up my outlines and first draft of a project today.

It's so nice not being tied to my computer. My writing is grounded and I find I have better flow and rhythm with a pen.

The perks of using old (and generally less talked about) textbooks—they're dirt cheap and still teach what you need to know.

I won't complain one bit—getting 3 college textbooks for $20 is a steal.

One day I'll get recommend a video about how Cowboy Bebop is a "Hidden Gem everybody forgot" & I'll turn into a being of pure energy.

I discovered how to stop feeling dissociated as fuck—I can't wear glasses full time.

Which...I guess that makes sense. I really only need them for reading/up-close work.

fixed that for you

CNBC headline: "Elon Musk’s AI-powered Wikipedia competitor goes live after a rocky launch". I've struck through "AI-powered" in red, and replaced it with "Wikipedia-powered"

I don't know what I'm doing _(:3」z)_

MISHA @mishabishi.bsky.social · 5d

Taking a break and only drawing when I want to doodle has been pretty nice...

Hopefully I can get back into my studies tomorrow.

Also I am Very Old™ and am in the process of getting index cards and book rings from Staples because god knows I hate having a little app for studying—my phone is too annoying.

MISHA @mishabishi.bsky.social · 8d

I think I'm burnt out on art...good thing I've got other things to occupy myself.

I finally took up Japanese again with a different resource since I didn't really like how artificial things were in university. Funny that I had to go to an older series of books for that...

I am stressing that this is me being silly and not me trying to smash anything into the story...

...but Usagi being like "OH MY GOD REI PRETTY?" in the manga versus how she's introduced in the 1992 anime is fucking funny as fuck.

Sailor Moon a bicon lol ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

I love not getting good sleep _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):

At least I don't get dizzy from it anymore...

I think I figured out what camera I want to save up for next...

MISHA @mishabishi.bsky.social · 13d

I miss physical releases having special features...like behind the scenes stuff.

Woke up with the worst headache ever—think today's a day off then...

MISHA @mishabishi.bsky.social · 14d

Oh good!

Our color calibrator's USB cable is fucked!

I love spending hundreds of dollars on cheap plastic shit that breaks when you look at it wrong!

Such a good device, highly recommended.

It still doesn't seem right...gamma is probably off. Dunno how to sort this out quite yet.

On the bright side—the color gamut of my GT-15000 encompasses a color spectrum greater than even Adobe RGB. Pretty impressive for how old it is.

MISHA @mishabishi.bsky.social · 14d

Who knew it would be so annoying to apply a color profile to scanned images with macOS...I dunno if there is a better utility than Image Capture, but it ignores the applied color profile I attached to the scanner in ColorSync Utility. Had to apply everything in Photoshop and then convert to sRGB.

You should watch it—I just hope you don't get nearly as frustrated as I did. Or maybe you should—what tech is doing to people isn't a laughing matter.
