Me an’ KC Green tried to make some New Yorker cartoons a while back! Here is one that was REJECTED. (they were all rejected)
Final dimensions of the MOD game Deluxe Box! It will accommodate all the cards in tuck boxes with room for future expansions (top picture; this is how they come. The box at far right will be just an empty space-filler) OR the full set of cards in sleeves (bottom picture), at your discretion. The dividers are removable.
This thing is now roughly TWICE as big as we first planned, and with all the cards in it, weighs over SEVEN POUNDS
This has been bugging me forever, and I finally figured it out. If you have a Wacom Intuos tablet (or maybe other types too) and the tracking seems off — drawing in a diagonal direction creates wavy or undulating lines, like the blue lines above — here’s how to fix it.
Take off the fingertip button; underneath, in the center, is a little tiny screw. Use a jeweler’s or eyeglass repair screwdriver to turn it. Just turn it one way or the other until it fixes the problem. I don’t think it’s strictly geared to the turning: turning it back where it was didn’t make it worse again. But the action of turning seems to have fixed it.
KAPOW YOU’RE WELCOME
Long Live the Analog…
…says the guy who sits in front of computers all day.
But for real, this video (and yesterday’s) make me want to chuck it all and apprentice myself to one of these old-school operations and get my hands dirty some more.
When I worked in an art supply store in high school, I used to sell 1Shot enamel sign paint. One day, the crusty old owner of the store made me sit down and hand-letter and paint a sign on canvas. I had to scrub off the paint and re-do it maybe four or five times before he eventually said it was good enough (and it wasn’t). Watching this video makes me want to find the best sign painters around and hire them to adorn everything in my world.
I once heard someone say “I resent anything functional that isn’t beautiful.” At the time I thought her haughty, because I don’t really care, for example, what my spoons or forks look like. But if we have to be bombarded with text all day every day anyway, I absolutely do wish it were all lovely.
I think being exposed to nothing but ugly or inartful text probably makes you cranky, like having your refrigerator constantly humming in a minor key.
Doing some rough testing to figure out the dimensions of the MOD game Deluxe Box!
Anonymous asked: Are you aware of the irony that "Ask me a question? Why not" has a question mark erroneously placed after a statement/imperative, and no question mark after a question?
Sounds like a problem? How could I have possibly have missed that
