I found 17 dance steps from the 1960s and animated them in Rough Animator. I used them in LumaFusion and made video for a song today. Looks pretty cool. I've been forcing myself to edit more on the iPad. Just making sure that I am as quick on it as I am on a laptop.

Spending this summer updating old websites in between real tasks. I really love simple, light sites as a breather from them grind of the larger database sites.

I run into a lot of Japanese websites that use images instead of pure text. It really makes it difficult for people learning the language to look up words in the dictionary or use a translation app.

Letting a project go is tough but it also feels lighter. I had a blog I really want to do but I really don't have the time for it. So, I packed up the files, put them away, and am enjoying not feeling guilty about having a neglected blog staring me in the face every day.

I ordered a new apple watch band that is reflective. On a long walk I was on the other day, it made me realize that I am too invisible to people driving. I'm not going to wear bright green clothes but I am adding reflective bits to things like the eco-bag and my watch. Any little bit helps and reflective stuff does look kinda cool. 139.796435°, 35.796275°

I am really into the Apple Pencil gesture of scribbling to erase text. Beside converting handwriting into text, scribble erasing is the magic of the pencil. I can probably type a little faster on a keyboard but I can delete things so much faster with the pencil.

I had a dream last night that I couldn't find where I parked my car. You'd think your
own brain could serve up some cool dream instead of something SO mundane. My
brain could have had me traveling in foreign Lands or talking to Einstein or Buddha or
someone.

Nope...my brain had me walking forever looking for a parking spot.

When l woke up, my first reaction was to write a Workflow workflow to remember the
spot you need to remember.

It is nothing fancy but it does the job. It gets your current location, adds the address to
a new note in the Notes app, and then save the location to a file in Dropbox as a back
up if you accidental delete the note.

It's the day after thanksgiving. I practiced some CSS grid, ate shio ramen at Ramen Kazama, and went to a punk show at the Eagles Club. The perfect day after Thanksgiving.

: Love footnotes. The bands were Joust, Zero, Kitten Forever, and Color TV
