Creating maps to share the coffee shops I have visited
Published on under the IndieWeb category.
Maps were a dominant topic at yesterday's Homebrew Website Club London / Europe online meetup. I am not knowledgeable on maps so I sat back for a lot of the discussion and listened to others share their thoughts. In the meeting, we discussed everything from using maps on one's personal website to the inaccuracies of some country paths in the UK on open maps.

Creative Voices
Published on under the Writing category.
Writing, as I have shared in discussions with many of my friends, helps me think. Through planning and typing words on paper, new ideas come to mind that I had previously not synthesized. Perhaps a scientist could explain why this is the case, or maybe this will remain to be one of the great mysteries behind "creativity." Over the years I have been writing, I have realised that there are a lot of nebulous parts to the creative arts. We all measure quality differently; we all have different standards; we all have diffferent ways of working. Finding how and on what we work best is a great challenge.

The Melodica
Published on under the Music category.
A few years ago, I started watching clips of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a "late night talk show" broadcast in the US. Jon Batiste and Stay Human play music to accompany the show, sometimes getting involved with what Stephen is talking about. Batiste is well known for playing the melodica, which is featured in his hands throughout many of the clips I have seen where he is present on the camera. The melodica is a keyboard with a mouthpiece. You must blow into the mouthpiece and play a key in order to make a sound. For years, I thought: what a cool instrument. There was a certain lure to the melodica; it called out to me moreso than most other instruments.
