Update (2008)
This page is tragically out of date -I'd like to update this site properly
(designed c1996, content barely changed since then), but... I'm just so
busy making other sites. So instead I offer (for now) this brief note
hacked into this page:
Since I last updated these pages properly, I've done various kinds of interesting and stimulating work:
- Research Scientist at Xerox Research Centre Cambridge (now sadly closed down), researching issues in "unremarkability" and the future of domestic technologies, and some methods by which designers and ethnographers can work together. 2001-2002.
- Worked
for various clients on web-based, embedded (robotics and factory
automation) Uis, and Authoring tools for business 3d graphics.
2002-2005.
- Technical Director at Soda Creative, working on webapps, and a little robotics, and other interesting things. 2005-2007.
- I'm now working on a variety of clients' work (webapps, and 3d authoring
tools, largely) and continuing work started at Soda on the webapp and
the java application framework underneath sodaplay.com
