This is one of my slow burn games on Steam. A roll-a-ball puzzle game, Yinyang is similar to the first ever game I wrote on Amiga in 1991.

As audiobook listening explodes in popularity, some users can’t do a mindless chore without pressing play.

The trend is driven by convenience and emotional needs, offering a way to multitask and relax. However, some worry about losing time for reflection. https://wapo.st/3ZBuWLm

My PC game Future Pool. Watching the Olympic curling I keep wondering if I should make Future Curling. With no table edges, this is perhaps already closer to curling than pool!

Another one of my paintings. This is 'The Death of Man', oil on MDF panel, 50x50cm. Unusually for me, this is one layer, and most of the painting is just black, white, light red. I made the ancient looking Spanish-style frame.

Working on song that's taken me 13 years to do it justice (although I wrote it in 2008, so maybe that's 18 years. PS. ignore the revision number, that feature wasn't there 13 ago when the sequence was started).

Plus, edited a strange short story for the Cheshire Prize for Literature. Developed an experimental dynamic compression algorithm which seems to work brilliantly, however boring these can be as audio effects. Read about refractive indices of ketone resins. All exciting things.

Today, some gilding on The Love Reliquary, ready for transport to the Oil Art Advisory in Knutsford. The gold door edges were completed. You might make out the flakiness in the lower right - today's part. Three oil paintings and 100 leaves of 23.5kt gold.

Gilding the oak veneered edges of my cabinet artwork 'The Love Reliquary' today, with 23.5kt leaf to echo the gold on the front. Gold is at a record price but there's no substitute for the look and soft feeling of real gold.
