I’ve been reading about sketchnotes for a bit this past week. As a first experiment I created some sketchnotes for a short talk on syndication in social media I prepared a while back. Here’s to hoping that no one ends up taking the actual spiral down to POOSNOW with their own social media presence.
Here’s the couple I showed off, including some Japanese brush pens.
TWSBI with purple ink is apparently the new coolness, so I’m shopping for purple inks now.

Been wondering about #webmentions for a while, so tried implementing it yesterday. Wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be (perhaps it’s just me?), so I wrote a post about how to integrate it into a #nextjs blog. 😀https://t.co/ZhtK03rsp6

My company has given us a free day off as a “reset day”. The idea is to encourage us all to take some time off, recharge and take care of our mental health. 🙂 How are your Friday’s going? #MentalHealthMatters
