![]() Industrial oils are used to produce inexpensive sumi that has a brown tone. Pine sap, when burned, produces soot which has a quality of transparency, and the tone of ink when thinned ranges from light black to bluish gray. Rapeseed oil, when burned, produces soot that is so fine that it has in-depth blackness. The carbon for sumi ink comes from three sources. A serious sumi-e artist should explore and experiment with these hues and use the sumi ink that provides the best results for his or her creative expression. You can learn more about Japanese paper at What is Washi Paper? All You Need to Know.Īn aphorism states “sumi is black and yet it is not black,” which means that black ink in a painting suggests many things including the whole spectrum of colors. If the work is to be displayed in the traditional manner, that is, as a hanging scroll, it will be rolled rather tightly for storage, and therefore should be done on thin paper. The thinness of paper is important to consider together with the manner in which you plan to display your sumi-e work. Ink will not spread out on these smooth white papers, so they are considered the best papers for calligraphy and painting. It is also the most durable in terms of the time it will last, so it is one for the most popular types. Japanese papers are mainly produced from kozo (a type of mulberry), and gampi. To clean off the ink, press, squeeze, and gently twist several times, then extract the moisture with a paper towel. Every variety of pop art and ideology became fair game, as LSD blotter art spread like wild fire. Special care must be given to washing the base of the bristles, otherwise the ink dries around the hairs at the base and the brush will not form a point again. Eventually, satirical blotter art started showing up one sheet depicted the FBI Emblems, while another featured the mug of former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachevthe popular Gorby acid. If a brush for sumi-e is left in water over a period of time the bristles will fall out. Sumi-e brushes are usually made with animal glue, which is very much like gelatin and will eventually dissolve in water. For this reason, even a beginner should start with a quality (and more expensive) sumi-e brush as an investment.Įvery time you have used a brush, carefully wash out all the ink. A disillusioned person with eventually give up on training. After some time, art lovers began to understand the value of this art form and started to collect and preserve the. Blotter art started out as the artwork that drug dealers used to drop liquid LSD onto so that they may easily sell the drug. If you purchase those mass-produced inexpensive brushes, you will become disenchanted because the brush will not perform as expected. Blotter art is one of underground Americas most important and misunderstood forms of folk art. The student of sumi-e must recognize the various types of brushes and how they are constructed.

![]() For example, in Windows I can very easily tell Explorer to show system files. A tree structure is only one aspect of this. That said, I firmly believe that advanced users, which includes developers, could benefit from a much more advanced Finder. Judging from those I know, they don't ever create deep directory structures on their own and probably don't need anything beyond what Finder offers. ![]() I can see Apple's point in keeping it simple for the typical non-tech user. Which, of course, has supported deep and complex directory structures for a long time. The irony today is that the the OSX GUI sits on top of Unix. Overlap a few terminal windows full of text to see the effect. ![]() Yeah, only being able to resize a window from one corner is a pain in the ass.Īlso, not having a border around a window makes for a fine mess. I can't remember most of them but I think one I liked was that the focus followed the mouse, you didn't have to click on a window to give it focus. I remember when I was using Irix (Silicon Graphics) heavily many moons ago. Any UI can benefit from ideas borrowed from others. This thinking is, of course, unfortunate. ![]() (Years later, I couldn't help but smirk when Lion had resize handles on all corners and edges.) The point is, if something potentially useful has too many associations with Windows, it was (and still is, to some extent) taboo. I actually got boos from the audience and a look of horror from most of the panel, and a straight up "No. Anecdote: in 2008-ish, at WWDC, there was a feedback forum, and while I can't remember what prompted the question, I asked if there were going to be resize handles on all the corners. If tree view has ever been discussed at Apple in the past 15 years (and I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't), it was almost certainly rejected as a throwback to the old Windows Explorer ca. So naturally that was left in the OS X Finder along with icon and list views from classic Mac OS. There was even some outcry in OS 8 when the system got menus where you didn't have to hold down the mouse button to keep them open.Ĭome at it from the other side, NeXTStep Workspace's primary view was column view. Having a tree view would have been mostly unnecessary and very Windows-like, which was something to avoid back then. (fun fact - though on OS X, you can adjust a slider to change icon sizes, back in OS ≤9, there was also "Small Icon View", which used 16x16 icons instead of the traditional 32x32, and put the labels to the side, rather than underneath) Despite a few other miscellaneous additions to the Finder over the years (tab view, At Ease (not really the Finder, but it shipped with certain Mac lines)), for System 7 through OS 9, most folks' file systems weren't that deep or complex. Still no tree view though, and I don't think it was until System 6 that there was a list view, and not til System 7 were there disclosure triangles so you could drill down. With HFS in System 4 (IIRC), that changed. Heck, for a couple System versions, the file system (MFS) didn't support more than one level of folder hierarchy, so it would have been completely pointless. The classic Mac OS Finder never had a tree view. ![]() ![]() If I weren't spending so much time on the highway, I'd keep these things in a heartbeat. I am trying to sell mine, due to the amount of miles my truck sees has shifted towards more highway use, and I am going back to my factory rims and tires. I havent even gotten a tire to so much as slip without copious amounts of loud pedal use on wet gravel, dirt, shallow mud, and some rocky river bank type terrain. These things ride like iron though, in 1000 highway miles,there is almost no noticeable wear, and mine still have the molding marks, and paint between the tread blocks from the factory identification. They also make quite a bit more noise on the highway than you get out of factory tires or similar tires, but in comparison to other offroad oriented tires, they are pretty quiet. They are HEAVY, as almost 115 lbs each on a set of XD series Monsters, there is a pretty noticeable decrease in acceleration, and therefore increased fuel consumption. The Grabber A/TX is designed to blend rugged durability and on-road civility, in. However, there are some things to consider with these tires before spending the cash.

Additionally, select sizes of the Grabber X3 are available with Smooth Red Letter sidewall for stylish. I could go bigger to 235's with them, but that's pushing it in my estimation.I have been running 33x12.5x18 Grabber blackwalls (same thing as the red letters) for the last few months on my 2013 with no problems.

And now he gets excited whenever he sees Snoopy anywhere. My 4-year-old loves seeing what Snoopy is doing on mommy's watch. (Snoopy gets top billing.)īut this Snoopy watch face has done something very interesting in my home. Apple just announced there will be a new Peanuts movie starting production in 2024 starring Snoopy and Charlie Brown. There are new shows like Snoopy in Space and The Snoopy Show. Why, you might ask, did Apple put so much effort into putting Snoopy on its watch? Back in 2018, Apple struck a deal to make Apple TV Plus the home of Peanuts content. ![]() There's also a number of animated sequences that were sourced directly from Charles M. Apple made 148 different animations of Snoopy and Woodstock for the watch face that can pop up throughout the day. There was a ton of work that went into making this cartoon run around your screen.

This year, your hands could trigger visual effects in video calls. And this hand control push goes beyond the Apple Watch. But, nevertheless, Apple is getting us to think more about controlling devices with hand gestures. The mechanics are different from the watch, as the headset uses cameras to detect your finger movement. The Vision Pro is also controlled by tapping your fingers. The Apple Watch Series 9 and the Ultra 2 can be controlled with double tapping your finger and thumb together, like you're tapping whatever the main button is on the screen, such as answering or ending a call, or skipping a song.

![]() Las Vegas is also actively reducing its reliance on the Colorado River. Residents face fines for not following regulations such as fixing leaks and watering on the off days. To tackle this issue, Las Vegas has established the Water Waste Investigation Unit, who patrols neighborhoods to monitor water usage. One of the primary concerns of water waste is outdoor irrigation, particularly in suburban neighborhoods because typically it evaporates after use and can't be reused. The dam is the largest reservoir in the country, and it plays a crucial role in sustaining the region. The development of Lake Mead and Hoover Dam has allowed this desert landscape to become an oasis with an influx of residents since its complement. But the city of Las Vegas is a great example of how to handle this crisis. ![]() And with talks of water distribution, conservation, and policy still looming, the clock is ticking.

Tidal is also free with a number of services in the US. This is available across all plans and countries, and it works with the student, family and military discounts.

Tidal doesn't do yearly subscriptions so you will always be signing up for a month at a time. However, there are a couple of ways that you can save on the price of a new plan. Unfortunately, Tidal doesn't seem to be big on its discounts. That is significantly more expensive than the HiFi plan but does offer a lot more features and is in line with higher-quality streaming plans from other brands. While it does carry a steep rise in price, it's well worth it for fans of great quality audio - the main feature we praised in our Tidal review.Ĭurrently HiFi Plus comes at a price of £19.99/$19.99/AU$23.99.

You can reduce that price, either by applying as a student for a 50% discount or by signing up for a family plan (more on that below). However, while this is a great value way to stream, it does lack a lot of the features that make Tidal stand out, mostly around audio quality and benefits to artists.
