Strictly Ballroom is on Netflix. Forgot how much I like the movie.  📺

I’ve been using 1.1 mm calligraphy nibs on my Lamy and TWSBI fountain pens for a while. Switched one of the Safaris back to a EF nib. I still like the calligraphy nibs, but I forgot how much I like the extra fine nib, too.

It’s been a long and challenging week. Glad Friday is finally here. Time to knock a bunch of stuff off the to do list and go into the long weekend on a positive note.

@zoovaldes I haven’t. I’ve heard good things about Black Mirror, but haven’t watched it yet. Will have to see if I can convince Liz to watch it with me.

My 6-year-old son has discovered He-Man on Netflix.

📚 I’m currently reading Beautiful Evidence by Edward Tufte.(And I’m really curious if emoji will work with Micro.Blog and my Squarespace setup.)

I’m currently in the middle of a project to design a shirt each week and blog about it. This week’s shirt is a vector illustration of my first camera, an X-700. sketchbookb.com/52-shirts t.co/NXgcRFcpo…

@dowdyism Which finish do you have? The black or the olivesilver?

Today is Micro Monday on the Micro.Blog side of the internet. I enjoy following everyone’s favorite random Star Trek podcaster, Scott McNulty, a.k.a. @blankbaby, who’s recently made the trek over to this alternate social media universe.

Really impressed with Star Trek Discovery tonight. Loved all the twists and turns.

@babroughton @AnyListApp I’d love that, too.

I guess the upside of this insomnia is that I’m getting some writing done. But being up this late is going to make for a long day tomorrow.

Looking forward to the winter premiere of Star Trek Discovery tomorrow night. I really enjoyed the first half of the season. Looking forward to where they go next. cbs.com/shows/star-tre…

@Joe_Gamecock Saw this at the Women’s game on New Years Eve. Really impressive!

@moiseschiu Inspired picks!

I use inline links with Micro.Blog all the time, but I keep forgetting that I can use bold and italic, too.  micro.blog

I loved this article from @aggietoppins on why we should pay design interns. Every word of this is awesome. If you hire interns, students or even young designers, read this. skbb.us/2CWsSCo

@vectorbabe I had to do three sizes of similar artwork for some web ads. Was easy to move between the three and then export individually.

I used artboards in Photoshop today for the first time. Interesting. I probably won’t need them much with the way I work, but I can see how they could be very useful.

I grew up in suburban Chicago, but I’ve lived in South Carolina long enough, that I’ve forgotten how to exist when it’s this cold.

Twitterless, Part II… I revisit my efforts to lessen my reliance on Twitter. skbb.us/2ERChMd t.co/47kDzDIRR…
