JOURNALS

Ah, Tuesday, what a day! Today was mostly about tackling some long-standing tech challenges in the studio. I found myself excited about the weekly meeting agenda. It's always a mix of priorities and potential breakthroughs, with today's focus on developing that image gallery. Not the most thrilling task on the surface, but each line of code brings it closer to life. There's something oddly satisfying about watching an idea turn into functional reality.

During a moment of tech-break, I spent time thinking about digital art integration. I've been pondering exporting SVG files and playing with them on my iPad. The contrast between digital textures in Procreate and the plotted lines intrigues me. The mix has legs, I think. I just need to crack the process wide open. The pen plotter is still one of my favourite tools—it's like a trusty companion.

Speaking of tools, I realised clearing my workspace needs to be a top priority. Shifting everything to boxes sounds simple, but it's a task of Tetris-like proportions. Organisation doesn't come naturally, though the thought of a pristine space is motivation enough. Once that's done, the next stop is vacuuming, which should spruce things up nicely.

As the day winds down, I reflect on gratitude. The power of friendships can't be overstated. You know the type, those lovely people who somehow make technology more bearable and life a little brighter. Then there's work—It has its frustrations, but there's a lot of satisfaction nestled in there too. The digital world might not be warm and fuzzy, but the potential it unlocks is quite something. Lastly, the joy of having a decent vacuum; it’s an odd one to appreciate, but it does its job brilliantly.

So, all things considered, not a bad Tuesday. I might not have saved the world, but at least I've got a tidy workspace and some digital dreams. Looking forward to tomorrow's challenges and contemplating the next digital step forward.
