Before the Write Your First D&D Encounter | Spring 2022 workshop starts on 1 May, I’ve been exploring the additional resources section of the online portal. In there, a bunch of cool stuff can be found, including links to GM BInder and Homebrewery which are online tools for generating the ‘D&D trade dress style’ – […]
Still loving playing D&D with my work colleagues during lunch time on Tuesdays. My colleague helped out with a fillable PDF-based D&D character sheet. A D&D character sheet contains contains all the information about your D&D character, including name, race, character class, and level. Here’s my character, Chungus, as at Thursday 28 April, 2022.
My worksheet for the Spring 2022 Write Your First D&D Encounter Workshop, which runs from 1 May to 31 May, 2022. By the end of the four week workshop, my worksheet will be fully populated and (hopefully) ready and good enough to be published as part of an anthology of encounters by other workshop participants.
I’m super-excited about making a start on the Spring 2022 Write Your First D&D Encounter Workshop, which is a fully-online 4 week course that launches on 1 May and finishes on 31 May. We are so excited to see all of the buzz about our upcoming Write Your First Encounter workshop! If you want to […]
Still playing D&D with my work colleagues, but diverting to an email-based experience while we make our way through a series of short weeks and non-work days in April. It’s still super-fun. In response to my previously proposed influence system, the DM replied to me with the following… Simple taskAs Shin and the team continue […]
Retrofitting the components, wireframes, designs and prototype of the ‘Design Thinking Now’ online course with Figma, for fun, skill-building, experimentation and exploration, and more.
Having fun and learning something new by fiddlin’ with Figma and making my way through their beginner tutorials (Explore ideas, Create designs, Build prototypes) about creating a social media app, for pets – petma. I’m really digging Figma – it’s a great little tool that’s been intentionally designed for collaboration and teamwork, which is fantastic.
Still playing D&D during lunch with my work colleagues, and it’s still super-fun. Because of the Easter holidays and combined-long weekends that drifted over multiple Tuesdays, we haven’t been able to meet-up and play. That’s why the DM issues a missive to the players to keep the narrative and player engagement going, via email. The […]
Still playing D&D during lunch with my work colleagues – still every Tuesday from 12:00, and still great fun.
Started playing D&D during lunch with my work colleagues – every Tuesday from 12:00. Great fun.
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 […]
Scavenged plywood. Homemade skate wax. Night skating on a deathtrap. What could go wrong?
Giving the ‘fake it until you make it’ approach a work out by paper prototyping ‘Awish’ – a digital experience I’m slowly trying to build.
Awish is an persistent digital dandelion experience for mobile devices. Hold the dandelion, blow and then make a wish. I hope your wish comes true.
Celebrate everyday awesomeness with ‘fetti. Personal or public celebrations and congratulations. Analogue or digital.
I’m building an interactive experience which makes use of available weather data, much like the data services made available by the BOM or the OpenWeatherMap. This means I need to be able to load data from the web, parse it and then transform 3D geometry based on real world locations and the loaded weather data. […]
What can we learn from matchmaking services Tinder, Badoo and Wyldfire, and Social graph when attempting to form and maintain peer observation groups in academic contexts?
Noise wall = Kollum + pixel art lawn art + sew, grow and mow. Synthetic layers in real space in real time in a world of real sound.
Interesting design considerations when designing across the fold for an audience that may only see one part of the display.

This sketch demonstrates the preliminary user flow for a web application/mobile experience that permits the completion and submission of a safe work method statement (SWMS) as part of a vocational training and assessment experience. A SWMS is a site-specific form that must be completed before any high-risk construction work is commenced. Generally, the completion and […]
This sketch demonstrates the preliminary user flow for a web application/mobile experience for a practical task capture, more specifically the completion of a technical report or similar documentation as part of a vocational training and assessment experience. Like the safe work method statement (SWMS) template, this web application/mobile experience seeks to take advantages of the affordances […]
A project at work required video footage of a series of veterinary surgical procedures to be recorded for inclusion in an online teaching resource. The project did not have resources (DSLR and personnel) to record the series of surgical procedures nor does the relatively small operating theatre permit an additional non-surgical staff member to occupy […]
Recently, I’ve been remembering the RENDERSAUR. The RENDERSAUR was an online art project I maintained seriously from 1997 to 2000, less-seriously from 2001 to 2002 and then trailing off completely around 2003 to 2004. RENDERSAUR was hosted by my friend and oscillated from RENDERSAUR.CX to RENDERSAUR.ORG. The Internet Archive: Wayback machine does a good job of capturing the […]
What can you learn from blog spam? You can learn that one famous sunglass manufacturer is alive and well and hasn’t been relegated to a sticker on the rear window of an Australian teenager’s car in 80s. You can also learn about two new golf clubs that are now available, a Japanese golfer and their […]
Inspired by Tom Woodwards’s Dune-themed tweet on 24 April 2014, Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb’s production on Fear Factory’s Fear Is the Mindkiller EP and the Bene Gesserit’s litany against fear and based on Jan Vantomme’s Drawing text and Running your sketch on an Android device Processing recipes on Github, I created this portable litany against fear as […]
