Yesterday was my birthday. I wrote a poem of reflection to try to express why I do what I do. I see this time of year always as a chance to pause to ponder my journey and where to go next. I hope you enjoy it, #LangTwr and beyond. :) youtu.be/l6XIwKVYgR8


Wherein I rant on the perennial theme of how, "This would never happen in Rust" twitch.tv/videos/1641770…


Been livestreaming my coding on Twitch recently. It's been excellent, so much so that I now believe you're handicapped if you _don't_ stream your coding! It's rubber ducking's final form. Anyway, today I caught the moment when my gym ball seat exploded! clips.twitch.tv/TriangularAgre…


"Tech Companies: A New Religion?" Video essay from @andrewmarkhenry exploring @WorkPrayCode's new book "When Work Becomes Religion in Silicon Valley". They have PhDs in Religious Studies and Sociology respectively. Almost like this video was made for me! youtube.com/watch?v=2N2LG_…


Woah, just founded this guided meditation video I made 10 years ago! vimeo.com/63506071

First release of Browsh in 3 years! Version 1.8.0 github.com/browsh-org/bro… Considering it's been a while, it's likely I've forgotten some part of the release process, so please let me know if anything isn't right.


What if Buddhism was female-dominated? Sylvia Wetzel described such a reality to the Dalai Lama at the 1993 Western Buddhist Teachers Conference youtu.be/rTta01J4EzQ?t=… (I've been looking for this for years! I first read about it in Batchelor's Confession of a Buddhist Atheist)


Anybody know any geeks in Santiago, Chile? My Linux boot has corrupted. I thought I had a live USB but don't and I haven't been here long enough to know anybody well enough to "hack" their computer to give me a bootable ISO. Además sería genial conocer las otras frikis acá 🤓


Haven't made a blog post in over 2 years! So just a little update: Going Dark: tombh.co.uk/going-dark


Offline until Sunday 13th🧘

The Andromeda galaxy is 6 times bigger in the sky than the full Moon: it's just too dim to see with the naked eye. This composite created by Tom Buckley-Houston shows what it would look like at night if it was just brighter [read more: ow.ly/EMek50A0CeU]

The latest video was an experiment, it's quite different to anything out there in the maker community, but feedback is surpassing all expectation!! :) Who said 40 min cross genre vids can't work!? youtu.be/qoyDBgW7weA On Becoming a Better Maker & creating very unusual shelves.


I'm looking for work.


I just got a Github sponsors profile! Which means you can now financially support (and Github will match the donations!) my open source work, which is mainly Browsh - a browser which helps all those in the world with slow or expensive internet. github.com/sponsors/tombh


I wrote about why and how I left Google (almost), Facebook and their offspring: tombh.co.uk/deleting-faceb…


Got some draft posts about my journey de-Googlifying myself. As in stopping using Google search, Gmail, Google Play Services on Android, etc. Briefly it's gone ok. Still do the occasional Google search. But the biggies are Youtube and of course Google Translate :/
