Will the blog return after we’re settled in our new home? Surely not with the frequency it has been, and perhaps not at all. I still work in the city, and Pelham isn’t all that far away-one of the reasons we chose it. My wife and I intend to keep up our weekly Manhattan “date nights” (usually Wednesdays). One thing that hasn’t changed is the pleasure of dining out, which I love as much as ever. I think I’m going to enjoy dining out for its own sake, as it used to be: no more photos, no more “writing the review” in my head as I eat. If our impending move to the suburbs provides a convenient excuse, I might have reached the same decision in any event: the sense that food blogging had run its course (for me) was lingering in my mind even before we started house-hunting, although it certainly intensified after that. Something needs to be edited out, to make room for all that, and the blog is it.

Yet, having created this tiny franchise in my little corner of the Internet, with a very small but nevertheless appreciative (and appreciated) core of loyal readers, for a long time I felt obliged to keep it going.īut my free time over the next several months will be increasingly taken up with a complex renovation, moving house, getting to know a new neighborhood, and a quite different lifestyle than I’ve been accustomed to. No one’s livelihood-and certainly not mine-depended on its existence. Of course, that burden was entirely self-imposed: this blog has never accepted advertising. In recent months, it has felt more like a burden, and less of the joy it originally was. I’ve posted 1,010 restaurant reviews in just over 11 years, which averages out to nearly two reviews per week, for roughly a decade. We intend to get every last day of city living that we can.īut now seems as good a time as any to put the blog on hiatus-a step I’ve been considering for a while. We still own our NYC co-op, which is in contract, and won’t close until July or August. We haven’t moved yet: the place is badly in need of renovation, which’ll happen a lot more quickly if our stuff isn’t in the way. Read More.Last week, my wife and I took possession of this beauty, a 3-story Tudor in Pelham, New York. Layers and blend modes could be a little smoother in operation and selections don’t seem quite as intuitive as I would expect but none of these are big issues. I’m sure some bug squashing will be applied shortly. Negative: A little buggy at the moment (new release) … sometimes hangs or behaves a little strange but so far I have not lost any work so an app reboot is all that’s needed.
At the comparative price you just can’t go wrong! I switched to Rebelle from ‘the’ top digital painting app over a year ago and have not looked back since … great stuff. and finally the big elephant NOT in the Rebelle room is subscriptions. With all this there is quick and helpful customer support/ service (much more than can be said from the other larger players in this game) and also meaningful upgrades rather than the often micro-steps that some make each year and then charge a lot for them. The new pigment colour and nano pixel functions are fantastic and unique. Water colour and oils are especially good (and IMO better than the competition by quite a margin) with blending water infusion masking fluid etc etc.
#REBELLE NYC REVIEWS FULL#
Perhaps not the full set of digital art functions that some others have, but frankly a lot of those extras remain unused 90+% of the time anyway Great brush creator and a full set of digital-real papers where the media flows nicely. Great UI that gets out the way when you want it to. Positive: An app that seems to be developed by artists rather than a tech team. The latest version 5 really is the one to go for!
#REBELLE NYC REVIEWS HOW TO#
Summary: A great app that delivers really great results without needing a 10kg manual to learn how to use it.
