Copying Markdown text from Visual Studio Code
You’re trying to copy Markdown out of a .md document in VS Code and the results aren’t as you’d expect when you go to paste elsewhere. I was trying to paste it into Notion and most of the formatting wasn’t honored. Bizarre.
Turns out VS Code is trying to be overly helpful and applying syntax highlighting when we copy ...
Please Vote
Are you registered to vote? We all need to do our part so we can get things turned around. Black lives matter. Masks work. Taking foreign aid to win an election is wrong. Walls don’t work. If we don’t get out there and vote in the coming weeks there might not be a “next time”. It’s that bad. We need to end the crazy.

COVID has forced us all to make changes in our lives and I’m no exception. For a year I’d planned to start building my video game in September when our daughter started school. Welp, that’s not happening qu...
Quarantine shed project
Being stuck in our homes has resulted in less time in front of the computer and more time tinkering around the house. I can’t say I saw a global pandemic coming, but a year ago I started rebuilding a section of our yard in preparation for a shed. I guess now is as good a time as any to finish out the project.
The pre...
Wacom tablet setup tip
I’ve got a tip for all you folks just setting up a Wacom tablet for the first time. It’s not going to take you long to figure out that scrolling is weird or cumbersome. We do a lot of scrolling on computers so having a poor experience is no good.
Depending on your tablet you may have a Touch Ring or a little scrolling...
Fixing Wacom Intuos Pro lag
I’m currently using an Intuos Pro M and on an iMac 5K and I was getting a ton of lag when the computer was doing intensive things, like rendering. The touch surface worked perfectly fine, but the pen was unusable.
I was able to fix this by downgrading the Wacom Driver to 6.3.37-2. Make sure you uninstall all the old s...
The software used in game development
If you’re getting into game development like I am, you may quickly find yourself overwhelmed by all the software required to get the job done. I’ve been creating things on computers for a long time and it’s even got me like, “Man, another program? And it’s how much?” Anyways, I figured I’d detail the software tools you...
ZBrush made me get a tablet
I’d originally made this post about getting a 3-button mouse, but by the time I got to ZBrush I had no chance. I just don’t see how you can be proficient in the program without pressure sensitivity.
I had an old Wacom Intuos3 honker, but I think Wacom stopped updating the drivers because I couldn’t even open the prefe...
Getting back into modeling
I’m working my way through a tutorial and I found myself in awe of how long it’s been since I just sat there on the design side of things without touching any code. I’ve probably spent a decade working further and further away from the design side of things because web applications largely matured to clean and open lay...
