Hi, I'm Ben

I make games for a living1, and other things for fun. I’m living and working remotely from Galway, Ireland.

I love games, movies, compelling TV, reading and geeking out with tech. This site is my digital garden, a consolidation of three or four different blogs I have run since 2010, along with my dev logs from personal projects, and my reading and other logs.

My two young kids often keep me busy, and I may write about parenting from time to time, but I try to keep their digital footprints minimal while they’re still so young.

Appreciating things is infectious, and in this world of extractive technology being used to empower adversarial and predatory business practices, this site is my little shout into the void to say that we can use these tools to build cosy, sovereign, decentralised tech that isn’t predicated on the idea of growth – at all.

This site has no trackers (check your browser, it’s nada). No analytics. This is not a strategy or platform. Full-text RSS is available.

  1. I used to make movies, but I just had to go pro with the whole nerd thing. ↩︎
