Now


How I’m going:

October 2026

With the changing season, I feel like I’ve really come out of my hiding, but at the same time there was something at play during the cold of winter. I actively decided to push away from social media, and heavens to Betsy, what a bloody delight that has been.

Noise in the modern world crushes the soul, and the noise is louder than ever, from so many avenues screaming at you to notice it, to protest it, fight it, be angry at it, look at it, vote for it, give $20 a month to it, find yourself ugly so you buy it. When you step away from it, the noise, the quiet that rushes in floods the heart with warmth.

Walks along creeks, seeing dog prints in mud, bird battles over worms mid-air, dads loving their children, the strength in friends, the tenderness of partners. These things fill the gap the noise took up.

I have not silenced it completely; to do so would be to live in a bubble. I am active in what comes in. A news website is a choice, one I could make every 2nd day (maybe during work hours). Instagram is turning into a choice vs it being a habit. Scrolling random strangers’ blogs vs mindless AI slop and advertising. We were not meant to live this way, and I’m making the choice, where possible, not to.

My mind is also more free to roam about, join dots, come up with ideas, find peace in being still.

To survive as a human, you must endeavour to silence the machine.

Games playing:

I recently just finished playing Big Walk with my dear friend Bec. It was beautiful, profound, fun, motion sickening in parts, the best digital experience I've had in a long time, it's not just game of the year, it's the vibe of the decade.
 
Word of caution, don't watch play throughs, read reviews or look at cheat codes. The game works when you only interact with the game.

Websites visiting:

  • pxlarea.com Chris Glass posted that he index'd himself on it, now I'm obsessed with just casually going through and reading blog posts from people I'd never have crossed paths with before about their lives.
  • More my own little single page projects
    Melody of Reality mic pitch to musical notes
    Chronoslice video as space-time: slit-scans, 3d volumes & point trails
    Reelmaker images to vertical mp4, shader & fibre transitions
    Throw Mapper projection mapping: warp surfaces, effect lines & cues
  • And my new big one log.mimobase.com where I'm microblogging, it scratches a social media posting itch.
