I suck less at snorkelling
Foooo–ishhhhhhh…. Foooo–ishhhhhhh…. Images flit through my mind of Darth Vader, or perhaps a morbid future self hooked up to a ventilator, but as I practice snorkelling in the Airlie Beach lagoon, I’m concentrating more on making it feel ok to breathe through a snorkel than anything else. As you may have read a few entries […]

En-gorged
On our last day in Cairns, Laura and I went for a trip up the coast with a friend we met in the hostel: Matthew, a fellow Briton from Newcastle. The plan was to see as much of the Atherton Tablelands as possible. Our intentions were far too optimistic, though, and we really only got […]

My game is out!
Last night the Xbox build of Miasma 2 made it onto the marketplace. It’s the culmination of about a year and a half’s work with Pete Lewis, to whom I am very grateful for his hard work. Some other awesome guys chipped in, like Julian Cole for writing an entirely custom music score, Paolo Parrucci […]

New acoustic compositions!
I’ve written and recorded two new songs. They’re both instrumental acoustic compositions that I semi-re-de-constructed over the Yuletide period. You can check them out on my music page. Thanks to Mike for recording me rather impromptu in his garage!
