Signing off for 2024. It's no secret that my computering this year has been all about @rive.app. I started in May, thinking I might add some spice to a few projects, but it's fast becoming my most popular service! Here's a rough cut of a few bits. More client work due to go live early 2025 🙂

Really insightful (and well produced) video from Tim looking at electronic music and systems that connect rather than divide us... a timely perspective. Technology can and should be a tool for building bridges and shared culture.
Why I'm playing live again to prove my humanity in the AI age (+ kick back against slop and individualism)
Shot around my mum's place in West Sussex. The landscape was a big part of the script-writing - almost like playing it as an instrument.

I was interviewed for a podcast for the first time. Beforehand I felt strong imposter syndrome and afterwards I am worried I will sound arrogant and didn't say anything interesting. So... that's what that's like.

Thought this was pretty clever from Discord, not just telling you about the feature but letting you actually use it before subscribing to confirm changes. Not that I'm going to but props.

Buskers make our city vibrant but too often they’re pushed out.
It was great to get out on the streets with the musicians & artists.
They deserve safe, accessible spaces to perform.
Sign the petition with @wearethemu.bsky.social urging Westminster Council to Back The Buskers.

I joined the Green Party today to support @zackpolanski.bsky.social for leader. I’ve voted Green a few times but never been a member. It’s only £60/year or £6/13 for concessions/low income.
Zack is genuinely progressive across many of the issues that matter to me, I encourage you to check him out!
