Workflows That Work: Bring Order, Focus, and Flow to Your Delivery

Workflows That Work don’t just happen. They’re designed—with clarity, intention, and a deep understanding of how value actually flows through a team. But let’s be honest. Too often, the workflow boards I see in software and digital product teams feel more like a visual mess than a helpful tool. Tickets pile up in ambiguous columns, blocked work is buried under layers of “in progress” confusion,…

Shoutout to this one rando internet poster's rando Grandma; I read a post where this person was setting up a computer for their grandmother, explained how it worked, and so on, and then got a call a week later from their indignant gran saying, "Why didn't you tell me about the knitting program?!?!"

Poster says, what knitting program? And she says, it's got lots of little boxes and you can colour them and put things in them. And when they go over to look - it's Excel. She's shrunk the Excel cells and is making knitting patterns in Excel.

Anyway. I now (for the last several years) make all my knitting patterns in Excel*, because if you use conditional formatting then it's extremely powerful. Type 'a' in a cell and it turns a colour; 'b', a different one.

Behold, a simple example.

Can't show you what I'm working on but it's EnormousTM.

And you can just arrow key up and across, row by row; hit save before closing and it'll even save your place.

Also, you can calculate your knitting maths with it.

Random grandma, if you're out there, I owe you one. Call me. We can swap tips and tricks.

*LibreOffice Calc also works but is a little more annoying to use.

I have finished the lineart of Thralls of Power Episode 1!!!!!!!*

🍾🥂✨

(*safe for a couple of reworks I want to do and also the end credits that I want to actually animate)

The current time for the episode is 40'19 and the current approximate number of frames I have drawn (minus a couple that are not in the actual episode, and some I have in double for Reasons, and some I haven't counted which have been done several times but I can't be arsed to do the maths right now) is 1168 frames (!!!), which, even if a lot of those are small adjustements, I AM going to pat myself on the back for because!!!! hell yeah!!!!!! heck yeah!!!!!!!!

the problem with lineart is, it's not super shareable without solid render, but have a Celebratory Messy Dorf as a bonus!!!!

(I have also finished the soundtrack EXCEPT for one track, which will be the most difficult to tackle, so !!!! oops, also my computer that can do music is dying and I need to learn a different music software but I don't have the time, so OOPS, truly Thralls has killed like, 2 different computers, maybe two and a half, insane)

Hey guys! I haven’t made anything in blender in a while, so I’m glad to say that I’m back and feeling so excited for new projects! I’m looking forward to learning a lot this year and creating more than ever! If you enjoy 3D art or character modeling/design then you should check this video out!

For artists, storytellers, or just fans -

I don't design games, but I find some of this very useful as a creator of various other stripes.

In addition to some more technical matters, this talk goes into the thematic focus of the game, into Guerrilla Games' approach to creating the various people groups of Horizon Zero Dawn, and into principles of collaboratively creative workflow. There's also a lot of concept art, including npc costumes from different tribes.

This might especially be useful to fanfic writers who want new insights or ways of thinking about Horizon's themes and tribes!

the video is about an hour long

Di Angelo Siblings

Sooo, to absolutely no one's surprise the new Percy Jackson reboot kicked me into full-blown pjo brainrot mode again lol. I saw these super cute fits and some vintage photos of Venice alleyways floating around on Pinterest and was consumed with the need to draw the Di Angelo siblings in them (it's probably wildly "historically and geographically" inaccurate for them, but we're just going to have to deal with the fact that I'm dumb and uncultured xD It's the vibes™ that count, okay!)

Psst, wanna see something cringe😂? Found this old sketch of them from one of my first forays into digital art years ago:

And to quote past-me "I can barely look at the old one, but at least that means I improved, aye?"😂

[crouteann]

back at it again cursing the great male renunciation and doing my silly little outfit thumbnails. i love edwardian styles so much

me and davey like 7 and 9, the entire bottom row was taking 2 and 5 and messing with them. this red party fit is important and i have been spinning it around in my head like a microwave since davey wrote the scene

Living in the Apple Ecosystem

For years, Apple has been synonymous with innovation, sleek design, and a user experience that’s second to none. As someone who’s grown to appreciate tech that not only works but works effortlessly, I’ve found myself deeply embedded in the Apple ecosystem. It wasn’t planned—it just happened, bit by polished aluminium bit.  

Let’s take a stroll through my collection. It all starts with my iPhone 16 Pro, a marvel of modern engineering. The titanium finish feels premium, the 1TB storage means I’ll never run out of space, and the Dynamic Island feature? A game-changer for multitasking. It’s my pocket-sized powerhouse that I can’t imagine life without.  

Then there’s the Apple Watch Ultra 2, the ultimate companion. It tracks my fitness, keeps me connected, and even has a battery life that can survive my busiest days. The black titanium design adds a touch of rugged elegance, making it my constant wrist buddy.  

On the audio front, my AirPods Max have transformed how I consume media. Whether it’s blocking out distractions with Active Noise Cancellation or indulging in Spatial Audio for a truly immersive experience, they’re indispensable for productivity and relaxation alike.  

For heavy-duty tasks, my MacBook Pro steps in. It’s not just a laptop; it’s my creative workstation, my writing hub, and my multitasking beast. Paired with the iPad Pro, which serves as my digital sketchpad, second screen, and mobile productivity tool, these two are the perfect duo for any endeavor. The seamless continuity between them—thanks to features like Universal Control and AirDrop—is a testament to Apple’s genius.  

The best part of this ecosystem is how effortlessly everything connects. Need to transfer files? AirDrop. Want to copy something on one device and paste it on another? Universal Clipboard has my back. Notifications and calls? They appear on every device, so I’m always in the loop. It’s a tech symphony, and I’m the delighted conductor.  

Now that I think about it, there’s just one thing missing to complete the set: the HomePod mini. Once Siri gets a much-needed update to make her smarter and more intuitive,(Yes I am looking at you Apple Intelligence)  I’ll likely make the leap.

After all, a smart home deserves a smart speaker, and nothing fits the bill better than an Apple product. Until then, I’ll continue enjoying my Apple wonderland—one seamless experience at a time.  

What’s your favourite part of the Apple ecosystem? Let me know in the comments below!
