I've been using a free text to speech website to make spoken vocals rather than try to record something. It's working out nicely and adds something extra that has been missing previously. Throw in a free vocoder plugin and you've really got something. | Continue reading
It goes round and around, and around... File: roundandaround.mp3 Just a quick idea I put together in Reason that could turn into something cool. | Continue reading

For the past few days my creative energies have been channeled solely into making music. I've had a hard time putting one word after another so switched to an outlet that doesn't require any. Hence very few posts. My brain doesn't want to do more than one thing in any given perio … | Continue reading
Two years ago I wrote down a line that came to me while in the garden. A slight tweak and it becomes a haiku: Leaves softly falling From the tree as it gently Weeps for each one lost | Continue reading
Like : More on Hello Pages... or why LinkedIn sucks - Alastair Johnston... the more of us who are honest about how people can get in touch (hint, email!) and have an actual meaningful conversation with us, as two humans, virtually sitting down and sharing ideas, without an algori … | Continue reading
Dave Rupert details the view-transition CSS pseudo-element as it applies to page transitions. It's, sadly, currently only available after enabling specific flags in Chromium based browsers v113 and above. This is exactly what I envisioned when I wanted one page to transition to t … | Continue reading
Last year I linked to Tom Critchlow talking about increasing the surface area of blogging. I remarked: "Creating a larger surface area allows for more scope, more references, more links, more connections – with some work and a bit of luck that leads to more ideas" /start, /reader … | Continue reading
Looking back, I see a journey that has taken twists and turns and doubled back on itself. Six years ago today I first considered building an integrated RSS reader after realising that this was the way to go a week or so before: "my initial reaction was a combined feed reader/blog … | Continue reading
I love the "ever-changing color palette" on Mandy Brown's site. It's so subtle and elegant. | Continue reading
Deep thought and contemplation are like muscles that atrophy when not being used. The longer you go without exercising them the harder it is to get going again. I knew that if I didn't start posting again soon then it would likely turn into another gap of months before I did. I d … | Continue reading

It's been a while since my last post. 1 I've definitely been in both a mental and creative funk – and not written anything as a consequence, despite a desire to do so. I know I need to write, for my own sanity if nothing else. I've been struggling to find the right words so I've … | Continue reading

I have been thinking more on the idea of "Posts I didn't write", wondering where it might take me or how it might work in practice. Would it be almost like a public drafts section? Or just a list of topics that I had been thinking about but declined to comment on? I am reminded o … | Continue reading

Reply to: Re-watched Watchmen – Tracy Durnell... Watchmen is a masterpiece in both mediums. The movie was so obviously a labour of love that the wave of criticism was mostly unfounded. The ending had to be changed to appeal to a more modern, and mainstream, audience but the point … | Continue reading

I had completely forgotten it was May 4th today until my daughter wished me a happy one in the car this morning. Proud parent moment. And she doesn't even really like Star Wars. | Continue reading
All media types used should now be caught by the 'no media' toggle. The links generated direct you to a page that displays the media with a back link rather than just dump you to the item itself. Made a bit more sense from a UX perspective. | Continue reading
