Google search is so broken. Back when the internet was good, you could search for any image and get back thousands of results. These days 90% of the results take you to stock image sites that want money.

And when searching for a product, the first result is almost always an Amazon link. Many times when you click on that link, Amazon doesn't even sell the product and is just showing you search results of related products you don't want. 🤦‍♂️

The biggest disappointment for me so far is battery life. I thought they advertised the battery life as 2 weeks or something, but I’m barely getting 2 days if that. I’m guessing sketching and using layers just pushes the device a lot harder than someone using it to jot notes? One drawing and I’m down from 100% to around 60. I’m used to charging my devices so it’s not a big deal, but would have been nice if it was a bit better.

Here’s a few more sketches I’ve done on it:

Bought a small e-ink tablet a few days ago because I’ve always been curious about how it was to draw on one. Got it from Best Buy with the thought that it would be no better than sketching on an iPad and I’d return it. 5 days in and I’m absolutely in love with it.

It’s so fun to draw on. The limitations and limited color palette lets me draw without trying to be perfect or worrying about colors. I thought the remarkable Paper Pro Move size would be too small but it’s perfect.

Fun little ride with a buddy this morning. Testing out a new camera placement on my helmet. Video is a 3 minute supercut of some "interesting" moments. Camera placement also reveals all the dumb sounds I apparently make while riding. 😅 I have a small wireless mic that I want to mount lower on my bike to capture the tire/trail sounds, but I have to figure out a way to secure it so it's safe and won't fall off.

Designed an icon for my shop. My intentions were to make a simple japanese-inspired shop icon that just looked good while small, but lets just say things kind of escalated quickly. 😳 I still need to add a few more details, but figured I'd share since it is mostly done.

I made this in Affinity Designer and I'm kind of surprised that I was able to have so many vector layers, details, and effects all in one project. There's A LOT and performance working in it is still pretty good.

*Edit: Oops I did have one injury where I had a hard crash at the skatepark and had to get stitches on my chin. But I guess I consider that minor as I totally forgot about it. 😅

2024-12-02T19:59:00Z

Seeing Rafa (npub18xv…hvmv)'s videos of his amazing 3D prints made me realize modeling in C4D has been the wrong tool for the job. I used it because I already knew it well, but the objects I need to make take so long to model there.

I saw Rafa using Shapr3D which looks incredible, but I don't need another steep subscription for a 3D application. I started looking for similar apps and came across https://plasticity.xyz. “CAD for Artists.” This is exactly what I need and it's been incredible so far.

I tapped out at 70 miles. We started at 6am and it was around 11pm when we finished the 6th trail. No cramps and my legs felt ok, but I was falling asleep on the trail towards the end. We had 3 trails to go and 30 miles. All I wanted to do at that point was go home and sleep in my bed. 😅 But my friends continued on and I’m sure they will finish. Failure for me, but it’s still the most riding I’ve ever done in such a short period. Going to have the best sleep ever now. #mtb
