I’m Mike and this is about the 10th iteration of my website which I’ve had over the years.
I’m barely known, and if all the visitors from every version of this site were gathered into one room, we’d probably struggle to fill a works canteen.
Yet I keep rebuilding it. Why? No idea.

Most recently it showed my digital art. That’s taken a back seat over the last year or so, so I’ve decided to go back to a blog.
Anyone who knows me knows I go through hobbies like bacon through a duck. I get an idea, realise it would be better if I introduced something to it – and Bang! Another hobby.

What can I do? 3D design & printing, pen making, gold plating, electronics, programming, making apps for myself…. The list goes on.
At present I’m playing with a little CNC, and I’m into guitars and guitar pedals so you’ll probably see something to do with those. Until it morphs into something new…

Hopefully now you’ve discovered this you’ll follow my journey!


  • How Chaplin made my life easier.
    I wrote a program this morning. I called it Dictator. Which then triggered in my mind The Great Dictator and I changed the name to Chaplin. Sounds much more software-esque doesn’t it?
  • CNC / PCB / WTF?
    “We have met the enemy and he is us.” — Walt Kelly I deliberately chose that quote because for the last few days I’ve been troubleshooting a problem that my own ignorance / laziness / lack of experience caused.
  • Grumpy Bear Ukulele
    I’m slowly progressing with a side quest – making 2 Ukuleles. One is this one; Grumpy Bear. The other is (at this point) going to be Beavis and Butthead.
  • Electric Blue 002
    Ironically, Electric Blue 002 was an adventure movie unreleted to Electric Blue. This post however is completely related to the last.
  • Electric Blue
    Those of you of a certain age will remember Electric Blue – an….. erm, 80’s classic collection. You’ll also recall the mad triangle and squiggle patterns that were everywhere around the same time. And Neon colours, don’t forget the neons.
