I’ve got a whole host of stuff to blog from MozFest (and Accessibility Scotland), and I’m sure I won’t get to all of it, but here’s an attempt at least! One of the best sessions I went to at MozFest was the Black Mirror Writers … Continue reading Black Mirror Writers Room – #MozFest 2019 session
So, this is a multi-part set of blog posts it would seem. I’ve decided to chronicle my ongoing mid-life crisis, and not content with cliches, I decided that this year would also be the year that I pushed on in terms of making a spectacle … Continue reading Pushing myself out of my comfort zone – part 2
So, I wrote a blog post last year about building out a new WordPress blogging service at Edinburgh over the summer of 2018. That was a cool piece of work and we still get a thrill out of running it on a daily basis. This … Continue reading Subtitling: Or what we did over summer 2019
I’m playing catch up on the blog – my Drafts is a scary place to look and a lot isn’t going to see the light of day. I’m also not going to be shackled to trying to get stuff done in any sort of chronological … Continue reading Some thoughts on Doing Data Right

I made my brain squeak. … Continue reading Benign Surveillance – some rough notes
I did an online studio visit with some students from Kean University as part of Mia Zamora’s Networked Narratives class. This post is to collect up a few links that I think might be useful follow ups for anyone who watched. The remit of the studio … Continue reading NetNarr Follow-ups
This post captures a back and forth text conversation that Tannis Morgan and I had about an idea that piqued her interest from my NGDLE rant in 2017. I really enjoyed the way we worked this up between us. I wrote a lot of it … Continue reading Pop Up Ed Tech, Trust, and Ephemerality
I wrote my first yearly review last year, prompted by that there Lorna Campbell and found it a useful (and perhaps cathartic) process so we’re going to do it all again for 2018. In no particular order, this is stuff I’ve been up to or … Continue reading 2018: Apparently it’s been rather busy
