Meet MONOLITH
Meet MONOLITH, my new bike. MONOLITH or MONO for short, is a 2021 Merida Speeder 20 Flat Bar Road Bike in Anthracite/Black. It reminds me of the monolith in 2021: a space odyssey. I ride mostly at night because that’s when I have free time – it’s also relatively quiet out and about at that …
Show, Demo & Inspo
I wanted a way for the team to easily share stuff (that inspires or demonstrates work they’ve done, and more) with each other that didn’t necessarily require them to identify themselves, if the didn’t want to. I chose Padlet because it’s quick, allows anonymous posting, we already have an account with them, and it does …

#800×80
The other day I discovered #800×80, an art project by @arc4g and @lochieaxon, and since then I’ve been having so much fun goofing-off and creating and sharing animated gifs in a “weird resolution” with some supremely talented and amazingly skilled like-minded people on Twitter – we need more weird resolution art, right? Joining the #800×80 …
It’s only a flesh wound – cycling is fun
Cycling in the wet at night is fun.
Automation & Tooling – why not consider them as helpful colleagues and team members
For a while I’ve been thinking about how adopt a different approach to tooling in our team, beyond nameless and obtuse groups of tools built on google sheets that record and reveal information about our projects. I think there’s value in considering these tools more like colleagues and team members with position descriptions and real …

My first instanced geometry
Building on the momentum of making my way through my very, very first noise displacement tutorial, I had a go at Polyhop’s instancing geometry in TouchDesigner tutorial. Again, you literally start with a ‘blank canvas’ and then slowly build up a network that results in a fun and visually interesting output. My key takeaways It’s …
My first noise displacement
Super-stoked about taking my very first steps with the visual coding software TouchDesigner by making my way through Polyhop’s Noise Displacement Tutorial – it’s a fun tutorial with just the right amount of detail designed especially for first timers like me. You literally start with a ‘blank canvas’ and then over time slowly build up …
Content and code management – tooling
Today I spoke to the team about how we might explore the use of a tool/service that allows us to easily store, manage and share regularly used content and/or code snippets. I was really interested in hearing from them if exploring the use of tools/service is something worth doing? Remembering this is not so much …

i made this – Bicycle Seat Post Skateboard Rack
Skateboards are not the best mode of transport – getting around to skate spots is really better suited to a bike. The only problem is how to carry your board. I discovered the awesome Bicycle Seat Post Skateboard Rack intractable, and then made it. It worked pretty well for me, I reckon.
Mobas – mobile checklists enabling authentic workplace assessment

Client …

NurseryLive!
Designed especially for certificate-level students in vocational education, NurseryLive! was an interactive simulation of a horticultural nursery that requires learners to keep plants free of pests and diseases in order to fill customer orders. From a technology perspective, NurseryLive! was a product of its time – it was compiled in Adobe Director and published for …
