It’s been a bit quiet around here; the usual churn of links, but not much writing. Apologies. It’s been quiet busy at work, what with Dimensions launching as I got back from holiday, and then watching my colleagues set the marvellous Making Future Magic wild.
There’s lots of great stuff coming out of the studio right now. That makes me happy.
Holiday was good: a week walking and recharging in the Brecon Beacons. It did not feel long enough, but it was very beautiful. I’m somewhat behind on processing my holiday photographs, but should have them done soon. I have not done the Brecons much justice, but they were beautiful to walk amongst.
I haven’t been tinkering with much outside work, although I have been overhauling the back-end of this website in interesting ways. I think that’s nearly finished now, so it’ll be live soon.
There is some writing to come, I think: certainly something on emergent narrative in Red Dead Redemption that’s been kicking around a bit too long, and perhaps something on Exposure at the Tate Modern, parts of which rankled me in very specific ways. Now I’ve promised you those, I have to deliver them, right?
Today I turned 28. I bought a kite.

Happy birthday!
We’re currently moving to a new flat over here, and in the process I rediscovered my DK book on kites I got when I was 12. It’s got great instructions for building your own one, which we might do some time, although it’s unlikely I’ll be the one flying it. (I’m afraid of flying kites; not afraid of kites themselves, but of being in control of one. Long story.)
