I like @EddieHinkle’s /using page.
Naming-wise, “/using” matches “/now” pages more than “my tools” does.
That reminds me, I’ve still got to write that page… 😣

TL;DR: Ladies, buy men’s face wash! 😡
The article gives a couple of weak examples, but this is something I experienced the other day:
I went into my local Myers to buy a new face wash. I saw that a new charcoal face wash had come out, but unfortunately all the women’s charcoal face wash was sold out.
Interestingly, the men’s charcoal face wash was still available.
On the surface the two face wash looks the same, the only difference is that one is sold in the men’s section of the store (the one with the black lid) and one is sold in the women’s section (the one with the blue lid).
We asked the sales person what the difference between the two product was. She checked the ingredients list on the product and said they were the same. They’re even the same price.
What we did notice though, was that for the same price the men’s face wash is 200ml and the women’s one is 150ml.
It’s not a lot, I grant you, but why is there any difference to begin with?
Needless to say, I bought the men’s face wash home.
My goals for the blog in 2017 were specific and routine and that worked relatively well for me. Here’s some of what worked well...
I like the way she’s structured her yearly projects into weekly repeating activities/posts.
I think the human mind is susceptible to routine and schedules which can only make these exercises easier as the year progressed.
I would like to decide on some projects to attempt this year… will need to think on it a bit…
If you’re into typewriters…
Not long to go now… (though I still wish I got to beta test the thing 🙃)
While you always learn from your mistakes, sometimes its nicer to learn from someone else's! In this post, I'll outline seven mistakes that I made as a freelance calligrapher and artist.
I think some of the advice in here are applicable to any freelancer.
For individuals who never see themselves in games, the addition of a pronoun is about recognition, acceptance, and normalization.
@hartlco My eyes must be playing tricks on me but I can’t seem to find where to favourite a post on Icro…
This is inspiring me to get into a daily writing habit.🖋
It’s not about writing completed works in a day, but writing bits and pieces every day would certainly get me closer to completing something than just sitting around waiting for inspiration to strike (or that mythical three-months writing retreat 😜).
