Sketches
Hmm. I didn't post any sketches to Flickr this week. I think it's because my drawing time in the evenings got replaced by Emacs hacking and delegation instead.
Link round-up
- Writing a book with a little help from Emacs and friends: I like reading about how other people use Emacs. Hat tip to Irreal for the link.
- Screencastify Records Action in Your Browser Tab: Hmm, possibly interesting for people who do screencasts. Google Chrome.
- Match the Color and Tone of Any Photo with Three Simple Adjustments: Back when I used stock photos in my presentations, I wanted to make sure the images felt like they fit together. That usually meant a time-consuming search for one artist with a set of images that covered all of my topics. This has some tips for making images look similar. hmm…
- The Rising Tide of Purpose: Pointer to Roger Bootle and creative vs distributive work. TODO – reflect.
