About Me

 

I'm a designer (of sorts) living and working in Melbourne.

 

I'm not a graphic designer. I design other stuff.

 

This site is a home on the web for me that isn't social media. I missed owning my own space, and being able to do anything at all that I like with it.

 

I really like the look and feel of old, pre-Facebook web design. I like the homemade feel of it, so this website is intended to look, and feel, like something from 1999.

 

I have cheated a little bit by using a website builder, but that's because I'm too busy (and lazy) to open Notepad and code the entire thing from scratch. I used to be able to, though.

 

 

 

 

I like:

 

Old movies. Horror, cult, exploitation, weirdness - anything that you'd find in the Psychotronic Movie Guide or Fangoria magazine. I log everything that I watch, and you can read my boiling hot takes at Letterboxd.

 

Old music. Predictably, I really like the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and stuff from the 1990's, like Nine Inch Nails and Type O Negative. You can check out exactly what I'm listening to at my last.fm page.

 

My cats, Ziggy, The Major, and Blue Jean. They are the cats you see in the photos on my site. They are the best!

 

Old video games. I like emulation a lot, and I play a lot of games from the classic era - computers and dedicated gaming consoles. You can check out my Steam profile and my Retroachievements scores from my 'Stuff' page.

 

New video games. Not as much as old video games, but I still like to play stuff. Just not as much as I used to. I play more emulated games than new games.

 

Physical media. I collect records, compact discs, and blu-rays. They are expensive and take up a lot of space, but they have endless soul, and when I die, I can be buried with them. Plus, when the internet goes down, I can still watch Blood Diner or listen to Meddle.

 

I don't like:

 

The modern web. It's a sea of overly monetized, corporatised, tasteless junk. It has no soul.

 

People. Enough said.

 

Claims that physical media is 'dead'. In your dreams.

 

Bad design. It's everywhere.

 

Go back.
