inPro tip: I just hit my 50th fixed shutter on a specific old Nikon model and the number felt wrong

inTried a new brush pack for my fantasy art and it went sideways
Yeah, it's like that with everything. People push the fancy gear, the special apps, the perfect system, when half the time the simple thing you already know how to use is right there. I see it with kitchen gadgets collecting dust and expensive notebooks people are scared to write in. You just end up working for the tool instead of the tool working for you.

inPSA: The $80 post hole digger that saved my sanity on a rocky job
Saw my neighbor try that exact thing last summer. He hooked a big auger bit to his regular DeWalt and went at some hard clay with rocks. Made it about two holes in before the drill started smoking. The whole thing seized up and he had to buy a new one. Ended up renting a proper two-man auger to finish the fence.

inA friend told me my color choices were too safe and it clicked
Funny how that works. My dad's old truck was this faded blue forever, then he put on these bright red hubcaps. Looked like a whole different vehicle, just from that one change.
