Kandlin's Anniversary Extravaganza!
Posted 7 years ago
kandlin is one of my favorite artists to commission and he's marking a year of regular sketch streams. He does a range of subjects really well, from latex to hypnosis to robots to transformation and more.If you haven't gotten a piece from him, I'd highly recommend following and treating yourself. It's fantastic to watch him put your ideas down skillfully and quickly. :)
And he's doing a give-away, so see if you get really lucky, too.

captaincoyote, 
circutron, 
grandpandaman, and 
lmann for their birthday kindnesses and for being all-around great people who make all my times hanging out with them special. Already got a sweet package in the mail that I'm dying to open and then, picking-up a birthday pie.

Writing On Weasyl
Posted 13 years agoLike a lot of people, I'm curious about Weasyl's potential, and thanks to 
ignacious I was able to get an account with my preferred user-name for once: https://www.weasyl.com/profile/blackjack
That said, I'm left a little cold by its primitive support for writers. A few friends mentioned early on that it seemed like what Weasyl calls literary submissions are not sorted with general art. That doesn't seem to be the case, but the tools offered to writers are a little lacking.
As far as I can tell, only .txt files are supported at the moment. Weasyl has actually managed to take a step back from FA in that you can neither upload nor view .pdf, .doc or .docx formats. I've looked through the site FAQ and browsed their forum to make sure, and I can't seem to find anything to indicate differently.
I realize the site is only in beta and hasn't fully opened, but I hope that Weasyl will be better prepared to allow writers to use formats that have progressed since MS-DOS.
Update: And the text editor provided doesn't seem capable of preserving any sort of formatting. Not even indentation. Oh, and for some reason it deleted my submission right after adding a thumb-nail.
Jeez, this is sloppy even for a beta.

Posted 13 years agoOn this day in 1795, James Braid was born. He was a doctor and surgeon who helped move hypnosis from the realm of "animal magnetism" (wink nudge) and mesmerism to being a legitimate treatment with an understood scientific grounding.
Braid is regarded by many as the first genuine "hypnotherapist" and the "Father of Modern Hypnotism".
Braid also popularized the very vocabulary of hypnosis and the idea that concentrating the hypnotized subject's focus on one idea would help open their mind to useful effects.
Although Braid was the first to use the terms hypnotism, hypnotize and hypnotist in English, the cognate terms hypnotique, hypnotisme, hypnotiste had been intentionally used by the French magnetist Baron Etienne Félix d'Henin de Cuvillers (1755–1841) at least as early as 1820. Braid, moreover, was the first person to use "hypnotism" in its modern sense, referring to a "psycho-physiological" theory rather than the "occult" theories of the magnetists.
So next time someone tells you to relax your breathing, focus on an object or idea and let your mind drift, remember a Scottish doctor is responsible for our modern understanding of it.
