I was well enough to make today’s workshop, which was so packed we ran it twice! So many nice questions and people delightedly making their first things. Livecoding is good!!! Thanks so much to @cassettewitch.bsky.social and the V&A for having me 💜

A little reminder for Londoners - this is next weekend! Also you HAVE to see Lia Mice's fabric synthesisers, too. I'm spending some time this weekend adding a few new tricks and helpful features to Magpie (including a new font).

I took my first baby steps into livecoding at the last one @mtrc.bsky.social did at the V&A and it was like magic seeing things appear on the screen. Highly recommend.

Friends of the Garden, Squidbones, are launching their first ever game! DrpDrv was one of the exhibited games at the first Games Garden Party event back in June and it was an absolute treat to play. It's on Steam now and you should wishlist it! store.steampowered.com/app/4967710/...

Have you played any of these games? If not, you should. ComputerJames is a master of crafting short, unexpected experiences that are just a delight to play. I wish more games were like this. Worth a study.

Hands down one of my favourite games events. I played some of my favourite games of the year at Weird Worlds in April and expected that will be topped next week.

This is going to be excellent! Along with all the livecoding goodness, Tom Fox will be showing off his SPOKE board, and Lia Mice is bringing along her Soft Cymatics playable tapestry.

Games Garden Party is under two weeks away and we've got a handful of wonderful games to play. Poetic digital toys about rejection letters, card game chatrooms, digital words scanned from real clay! Also, here's a picture of Daniel talking about Yelling Games from the last time we did one of these.

I got to do the soundtrack for Abi Palmer's Slime Mother, a truly transcendent short film. @abipalmer.bsky.social is a long time collaborator and excellent friend, and it was so heartwarming to return to this and remember what a delight it was to put together. motherivy.bandcamp.com/album/slime-...

Tamagotchi Seance from @cassettewitch.bsky.social combines poetic narrative with user-submitted messages to create a wonderful experience that rewards repeat interactions. Returning to the garden to see how it has grown is a joy.

How would you want a games event to look if you could put one on tomorrow? Feels like there's a lot of stuff currently that misses the mark (and a handful of things that absolutely nail it). What do you think is missing? What needs changing?

If you are baffled by why the jury refused to convict the Palestine Action defendants, it's because – unlike them – you didn't hear the actual evidence. You heard what the media wanted you to know. Here, I explain what the jury learnt from the trial: jonathancook.substack.com/p/barristers...

A few snaps from my show Return To Dreamphone. (I've never really used to checking/posting to bsky. This is a little tidbit to stay present.) Shown at Barham Park in March, and August as part of the Brent Biennial. A ring of towers, connected through their root system, chirrup signals into the room.
