@mikewyantjr it's great to get stuff out there that's been on the boil...
@mikewyantjr your Sarah Martinez could be the exact image of my protag in one screenplay I wrote in the 90s...
@mikewyantjr I love the characters on your timeline
@mikewyantjr if you're ever stuck for ideas I've got a few on the shelf for donkey's years now, I could send you a logline... just if you're actually looking for some stimulus, creatively s'all!
@mikewyantjr do you think one could storyboard a movie using #midjourney?
I put up a little rant about Midjourney and AI art over at Facebook... figured it might make sense here as well. Sorry for the attempt at a thread....

2012 was a good year. I saw Springsteen at the Isle of Wight.
a useful timeline but also it feels like something from 2012 (like mastodon) https://twitterisgoinggreat.com/
@stephenfry that photo book Isle of Rust might just have go in Santy’s sack for me…
@LordArse ah man didn’t they have the Bag Of Fruit option?

This is a great article by Jenni Nadler about writing better error messages.
I particularly like this comment: 'Imagine a doctor performing a procedure and then suddenly saying “Oops! Something went wrong…”'

This morning: SVG graphics and HTML5 geolocation. I like delivering this course (Advanced #WebDevelopment) as it gives delegates a chance to build out something reasonably nice-looking.

There is a wonderful, simple meditation that I often do at night. A basic compassionate exercise.
It starts with detaching myself from my thoughts - just letting them float by like clouds. Then, engaging the calming gift of slow belly breath, I get into a rhythm.
As this rhythm settles my heart and mind, I find the frog calls from next door's pond and then the snores of my dogs send me to sleep.
Sending kindness through my breath to all hearts. Life is wonderful. Even in my grief for a loved one lost, I still feel the wonder.
May your own suffering be soothed and eased by the gift of wonder and something as simple and beautiful as your belly breath.
Bless. 🙏❤️
