> Lanyards by day...

My dayjob involves back-end digital product development and systems design in non-profit Web Tech, though my preferred digital dwelling is the command line - among unix-derivative operating systems and non-commercial, lightweight tech.

I was born in the mid-80s in London, UK. I spent my 20s and early 30s involved in a lot of local activism: social movements in anarchist communities, creating radical independent media; activism focused on economic injustice, environmental injustice and the extensions of these in the UK's 'hostile environment' policies towards refugees, migrants and asylum seekers. I believe another world is possible: sustainable, caring, cooperative.

My interests in digitality and technology come from a more fundamental curiosity in wanting to understand and work through the media ecologies that surround us, as well as some inkling of hope in the possibilities of digital tech in finding a world in common; a world of attended-to rather than exploited resource.

I'm interested in:

Lightweight computing, permacomputing, sustainable computing (eco-tech)

Digitality & computational culture

Media theory & media practice

Music and HiFi: jazz, latin, hip hop, lo fi, dub, reggae, motown, funk, soul, electronica, dnb, disco, world music

Activism & social movements - social change

Value-form theory (the critique of political economy)
