Turn your phone into a dumb phone.
I love this, and I will definitely try some aspects of it. However, I can’t say if I’ll go the whole way and do everything in this video. If you prefer to read, there’s also a web page with instructions.
I replaced the plastic castors on my Ikea office chair with rollerblade-style castors. The difference is like night and day, and the new castors are better for our new wooden flooring in the office. My only gripe is that the office isn’t long enough to see how fast my chair can go!
Procreate is taking a stand on AI
Procreate’s stand on AI should be applauded.
We’re here for the humans. We’re not chasing a technology that is a moral threat to our greatest jewel: human creativity. In this technological rush, this might make us an exception or seem at risk of being left behind. But we see this road less travelled as the more exciting and fruitful one for our community.
I’m glad to see that companies like Procreate still recognise the danger of AI in their products. AI has it’s uses, but it doesn’t need to be everywhere.

I finally feel like I’m starting to turn a corner with this lurgy thing. I’ll make sure I rest up over the weekend, hoping that by next week, it will be completely gone.
I migrated a few more images from my old blog to the Micro.blog, so my photos page looks better. I also added a now page and uses page.
Michael Wade reminds us about keeping a “Not Doing List”.
Common “Not Doing” projects involve physical exercise, connecting with old friends, volunteering for good causes, and writing thank you notes.
