I am tempted to get Procreate Dreams and animate a bit again. I haven‘t animated in almost two decades. But I‘d need to replace my lost Apple Pen first and I can’t bring myself to spend another €140 on it.
My Paper cursor didn’t only do backflip while it was bored waiting for my input. When I came back from a longer break it was sitting there asleep with big 💤‘s coming from it. I love the whimsy even more because how reduced the app is.
I wrote my first long form post today with Paper. It was pure fun. What a great no nonsense writing app.
My Current Setup
I thought I’d write down my current workflow setup since it has changed drastically since I last wrote about it. Not only am I exclusively working from home these days—due to health reasons—but I am also working in a very reduced capacity. This means I am mostly using my iPhone, iPad, and iMac for leisure.
With that being said, here is what I use on a daily basis.
Keeping up with the Joneses Micro.
Did my Paper cursor really just make a backflip while it was waiting for me to enter some text‽
It looks like people really enjoy the gnome prints in our new Etsy store.
Dental Cleaning
So, I went to the dentist today to get a dental cleaning. My last dental cleaning was about six months ago, and the one before that was about three years prior. I was told last time that because the time between cleanings was so long, the cleaning took over an hour and that I should go more often.
So that’s what I did. And guess what? The cleaning still took over an hour.
Ah, the Paper Markdown paragraph behavior is actually configurable in the Settings.
Does anyone have any experience with light therapy devices like the Lumie? I am on the fence of ordering one for this winter season.
Bear App Test
This is a test of the Bear app for writing and note taking. So it turns out Bear does not publish to Micro.blog. Also the writing environment is not nearly as neat as Paper, even when I hide all the UI.
One advantage Bear has is that is supports images and other file formats in the notes. However, since it does not publish to Micro.blog that is of no help there as I still need to upload first and then include the link to the media file.
