Show & Hide: Free on the iOS App Store
I released Show & Hide nearly a year ago now and it’s now free on the app store. It’s not set the world alight, and I haven’t made the progress I wanted to on releasing the Android version (still in beta), but it’s got a few nice comments, and I’ve seen some beautiful photos. Here’s one of…

Project: The Ultimate Selfie
The first time I came to Seattle and hung out at Glowforge I had no idea what I would make. It was somewhat revelatory to me to discover that making things wasn’t actually terrifying, and Dan and I made my Show & Hide necklace together (now my favourite accessory, as it represents so many things…

Launching: Show & Hide
I launched a thing. You can buy it for your iThing. Please upvote it on ProductHunt. What is the thing? It’s an image processing app. It allows you to make cool, partially colored images. It’s called Show & Hide. The longer and more personal story is: this has been a long term side project for me, and…

Lasers and Practical Skills
I first “met” Dan a year ago, right after GHC last year. He reached out to me because of the stuff I’d been writing about men and male allies. We became twitter friends, and so I got to read a preview of his book – which is great, because I’d realized that Dan was someone I…

Berlin, March 2015
[slickr-flickr search=”sets” set=”72157651971644737″ align=”center”] I went back to Berlin to… tie up loose ends, I guess you could say. Mostly I worked and caught up with friends but I did have time for a little touristing in one of my favourite cities. Stayed at the Movenpick which was nice, and after discovering it was a twin…

Romania, Nov-Dec 2014
[slickr-flickr search=”sets” set=”72157649871201681″ align=”center”] I went to Romania to Cluj, to speak at iOSNext. Being footloose and fancy free, I decided to stay on for a while after and see Bucharest, and try out AirBnB [referral link]. In Cluj, we stayed at the Golden Tulip hotel which was pretty nice. I arrived late and was…

Copenhagen and Malmo
[slickr-flickr search=”sets” set=”72157646984090244″ align=”center”] Copenhagen It’s always nice to return to a city I liked a second time, once I’ve been somewhere twice I’m sure I’ll end up there again. Copenhagen was one of my first solo trips, that was just to see the city and not for work or some activity of some sort.…

Hobart, July 2013
[slickr-flickr search=”sets” set=”72157646933039290″ align=”center”] I was in Hobart, Tasmania for PyCon AU which was really interesting. We didn’t have a lot of time for sightseeing, but we did manage to go to the Female Factory, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, MONA: Museum of Old and New Art. The Female Factory was fascinating, but horrifying. It was the jail…
