I recently mentioned in the NosillaCast Slack that I use TextExpander to expand DMC embroidery cotton numbers to the official colour names.

Charjen Airfoams Pro Active – by Frank Petrie (aka @Wheels)
Charjen Airfoams Pro Active When I went to film school, it was drilled into your head that the most important component of any film/video project is the audio.

Since Christmas will soon be here, I thought it would be a good time to resurrect the poem that has become a holiday tradition on the NosillaCast. In 2019, we lost our beloved Honda Bob, a long-time NosillaCastaway and contributor to the show and a very dear friend. But his memory and the silliness he […]
