Inkscape makes it especially easy to manipulate the shape of text to meet the edges of a recognizable silhouette.
I thought I might start adding music to these posts to listen along to while you enjoy the design. Here’s what came to mind with this one. Queens Of The Stone Age – Monsters In The Parasol
In this video, I discuss one of my own most useful benefits of logging my food to an online database, MyFitnessPal.com. I’m able to see at a glance my most eaten foods in context of all meals, breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and evening snack. As a result, I can see the foods that have contributed to my success in losing weight, and will contribute to my future success in maintaining weight and nutrition. I include the list below, but I explain the items as they relate to my eating in the video.
Extra points for combinations: Naan, plus fresh sliced tomatoes, fresh Ciliegine mozzarella, and a bit of leaf basil, salt and pepper makes for a delicious treat. This list should make for a good grocery list if you are looking to lose or maintain weight, a good meal planning list, and a good way of seeing why I believe that I have a very reasonable nutritional outlook. My philosophy is much like Michael Pollan‘s: Eat real food, mostly plants, move more. Being fit does not require pain, but it does need a plan, knowledge, and patience.
Other favorites from further down the list:
I have a good friend with a Hemingway cat who I wanted to surprise with a gift portrait. In this case the cat is a Maine Coon. A Hemingway cat is known as such because of the author’s fondness for and collection of them. Also known as a polydactyl cat, the term polydactyl refers to extra toes on each paw.
An interesting use of the text follows path tool in Inkscape to show a bit of optimism.
So continuing the collaborative disgusting book titles series, Iddrise made me snarf my milk with a book idea that focused on 108 keys to success for the sedentary secretary in all of us. Why 108 keys? The US keyboard standard layout uses 108 keys. The book is rife with silly exercise tips, rather than any ideas for improving nutrition, backwards puns on office life, and ageist, sexist, and other prejudiced thinking, such as Key 86: replenish the water in the cooler while you wait for your copies to finish! and Key 112: bring extra coffee cups to the meeting to work out your biceps! All 108 Keys end in exclamation points. Add your own keys in the comments below, and we’ll get this thing shipped.
