Walking in the countryside

Is it just me or is “gentle reminder” worse than “reminder”. (It may well just be me which is why I’m checking).

A new sad thing I’ve noticed with the whole “~Shepherds~ Book for Sales” book thing is now I’m seeing YouTube videos that are trying to gain views by jumping on the story. Who needs to sell out your convictions for politics when you can do it for likes, comments, and subscribes.

Finished reading: Same as Ever by Morgan Housel 📚listened on a car journey. Good idea, bit repetitive. Some interesting points to meditate on.

Kids off preschool. Zine time!

Started a trial of the Affinity v2 range of products.

  1. I have a book design project to do (blame @AndyNicolaides )
  2. I want to try a vector based tool for sketchnotes. I’m starting work on one but There’s a lot I need to learn to really get to grips with it.

Finished reading: Bearing God’s Name by Carmen Joy Imes 📚 Dispensationalists will not like this. I wasn’t expecting such a detailed exploration of continuity/discontinuity of the covenant but I was glad for it. I plan on rereading some of those final chapters as she explored the issues I find most challenging but I’m still not certain of her conclusions.

“A more useful use of AI”. I just changed this to “more useful application of AI”

this is the kind of thing we do all the time at work because “it’s bad to repeat the same word /root too close together.”

There’s definitely occasions when I think I this is a good, but I think it can be overly applied (especially if there’s a nice rhythm.)

Would anyone want an ebook with my sketches collated together? Perhaps my series on mental models with descriptions along side? $5? (Feel free to say if you’d have a slightly different request i.e. different sketchnotes/ how many etc)

Some neighbours were throwing out a coffee capsule machine, so now we have one (and it works fine).
