Hello everyone! Quick update, I have added some links to my cohost profile.

From top to bottom, we have my main website (which is the web dev project I'm currently working on; updates live on this account!).

In the YT account I upload videos related to knowledge management software such as Obsidian and TiddlyWiki. An in-depth walkthrough of this mind garden will be available soon.

Then in the store, I have made available some Notion templates for writers and notes of the STEM college courses I have taken (hw, class notes, exam reviews, etc).

Last but not least, the blog has posts related to journaling, self-care, and science.

Thanks for reading! Talk to your soon!

I've been experimenting with this recipe for a little while and I think it's at a good spot to post publicly.
I think ginger is really cool, but every baked thing that uses ginger is gingerbread, which makes it more about the spices added to it. This recipe focuses a lot more on the ginger itself, and combined with the lime it's a very nice and tropical sort of cookie.

Not sure what to call these. I've been thinking, like, "summer ginger", "moscow mule", or "actually ginger", but for now it's just "ginger lime".

Full recipe below the cut. I'd love to know if anyone makes this and what they think about it.

still in need of assistance

My style is distinct like LL Cool J's Kangol hat, I like to think.

Style is properly defined as: The mistakes you keep making regularly enough to be distinctive.

Art folk don't seem to realize that there are two types of "mistake". The first is the obvious drew-the-thumbs-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-hands sort of stuff. The second is the artist not hitting that visual ideal that everyone knows but no one can clearly define. It's that second one artists tend to get hung up on and they shouldn't.

da Vinci's hand drawings are perfect? I've never seen that guy draw them shooting Spider-Man's webs. So much for the Italian Renaissance.

Where was this ramble originally heading? Oh! Right!

Part of my style involved a certain shape of brush that I pain-painstakingly customized in Clip Studio paint using a specific material shape as the base shape of my nib.

If yah know, yah know.

But get this! It was a a shape that... and here's the disaster in the title... is no longer available in Clip Studio's assets store!

I discovered this after moving my brushes to this new computer I'm typing on today. The base brush made the trip just fine. My changes to it? In some dark, dank, purposefully hidden file deep in Clip Studio's bowels I assume. Probably just some text file with random numbers I wouldn't recognize if it cried out to me. I don't know. I'm not a computer guy.

I spent a couple of hours last night trying to recreate that brush texture and shape... that vibe... that STYLE... yet nothing I did was good enough. That look is locked away forever on the old computer.

A Time For Healing: I shall throw all of my art supplies in a barrel and burn them now. There's no point. Well, there never was a point beyond the thin gruel of likes I got from internet strangers.

Ehn. I'll just find another brush I like and alter it until I can live with it. Thin gruel is better than nothing and I'm going to run out of photos of Japan at some point and then no one will be reading!

And in the 21st Century you don't have value as a human being if your social media isn't being read. Tree falling in a forest sort of thing...
