Rewatching Your Name at Golden Hour
There's a word in Japanese — kataware-doki — that translates roughly to "the time when silhouettes meet." It's the moment just before sunset when the light is soft enough that you can't quite tell one thing from another. Shinto teaches that this is when the boundary between worlds grows thin. You might meet a god. You might meet someone who isn't there.

50 Illustrations Over 50 Days
I recently purchased a wonderful iPad Pro 10.5" along with the Apple Pencil. With any large purchase I make, I always feel the need to justify why and also push to make it a worthwhile expenditure. My reasoning was simply to get myself back into illustration and painting. I use pens, paints and pads occasionally at the moment but wanted something a little more digital. This was because I wanted to take my web design and development skill set into a more niche and personal area. I have been feeling for some time now that most web design has become stale and distant from its users.

The Big Payback
As a web/app designer and developer, I am a clichéd type. At times a joke if you will. I understand this as I sit in the local coffee shop with my Macbook drinking my flat white with "hipster" hair, thick rimmed glasses and red trousers. I know what I am and I'm comfortable with that. Over the years I have been expected to rise to this type and be like my peers. Latest MacBooks, iPads, iPhones, Moleskine pads and all the other typical cruft. Again, I'm cool with that, I like that stuff, I do. The trouble is, what if you are in that group but your income isn't reflective of it.
Gym Workout vs Home Workout (Part 1)
I joined the gym for the first time earlier this year and it was great. I visited it roughly three times a week with a drop in attendance every now and then when busy. I liked the results and it made me feel better about myself. I never really had a proper plan as such but I had a basic routine.
That Thing We Don't Speak Of
Right off the bat, let me get something off my chest. I have a lazy eye, a big old wonky donkey eyeball. You know when you watch a movie and the village idiot covered in poo with an eye that just won't behave like the other one. Yeah, I have one of them. It sucks but that's life.

Peterborough's First STEM Festival
A couple of weeks ago was the first ever STEM Festival to be held in Peterborough City. The 1st October 2016. It was an event that I was lucky to be an organiser of and even ran one of the most popular workshops at the event. The Minecraft one of course, folks need their Minecraft fix.
