Maker of things interactive. Multimedia, musea, moving images, maps & miscellany. Archivist by nature and by proxy. Reformed cinephile. Weaving the web since before the first browser war. Raised on 8 bits and tinkering ever since.

Too much old tech, too many plants; nurturer of both.

Jack and Jill's well is in the wrong place. It should be at the bottom of the hill, closer to the groundwater

And as he drove on, the rain clouds dragged down the sky after him for, though he did not know it, Rob McKenna was a Rain God.

"There are colors that I want to show you, but I can’t. They exist in the real world. You probably saw some of them today, but I can’t show them to you on a screen. A digital photograph can’t capture them, and your screen can’t display them. No game you’ve ever played has contained them. Unless you have specialized equipment, they are entirely absent from the digital world.

Most of them are cyans."
