Currently working on:
- jQuery. Javascript is evil; but also very useful when carefully applied... And jQuery makes it a whole lot simpler to apply bad, inaccessible and cheesy effects in an 'accessible' way, as demonstrated on this page (e.g. turn javascript off and the ridiculous disappearing trick I've pulled doesn't happen...)
- Origami - Just got hold of Jun Maekawa's 'Genuine Origami' which has rekindled my enthusiasm for nerdy paper-folding. Maekawa has produced some fantastic work, not least his devil figure.
- Soundlines - Parsing mscape log to allow export of MP3 and online playback of walk/music.
- Flash game launch interface for Interactive Places
- Asteroids in Processing. See OpenProcessing for some source-code
- Programming on an Mscape project for Interactive Places
- Mscapers documentation
- mindatplay.webs.com
- Try not to laugh... crochet (from the book 'Creepy cute crochet').
- Experiments with perspective
- Untitled - digital painting over a photograph of the inside of a chicken... (the background to this page)
