This week, I had the pleasure of savoring a two-day holiday, which was an absolute delight but also felt like those two days lasted forever — even longer than a regular weekend! I didn’t really do much special, but I definitely enjoyed having that break and getting to just chill.

A little weekend project for the blog. I was inspired by the clean design of Piper Haywood’s categories page, and the minimalist in me yearned (not really) to recreate that aesthetic on my site. It’s still a work in progress, but this whole thing has been a whirlwind of frustrations and a lot of learning and relearning!

⏯️ Frame.io Version 4 Beta is here! Redesigned interface for customizable workflows and Frame-accurate comments and consolidated feedback lists. I’m still on the waitlist but excited to try it out

📓 The Flipbook Experiment by Pudding Cool - 15,053 frames have been drawn when I tried it.

🤖 Your ‘AI first’ company is giving me AI fatigue by Michael Grothaus - “Using ChatGPT for sales, marketing, or communications with customers does not make you an AI-first company.

📸 Great photos from Greg Morris’ Short Trip To Skegness - I’ve been seeing the Ricoh GRIIIx everywhere!

👤 Why blog anonymously - I’ve been following Frills for a little bit now, and I just love her and her blog (obviously). I totally agree with everything she said in that post. There was a time when I had an anonymous website (now abandoned), and it was such a thrill that people would engage with the things I wrote and did without even knowing me.
