Delighted to have participated in 'The Rest is Just Noise' podcast. Thanks Dr Hasina Begum! We discussed the #EAD methods, as well as my forthcoming book 'Sonic Pasts: acoustical heritage and historical soundscapes', and the barriers experienced by women in audio www.buzzsprout.com/1438372/1533...

Polishing tomorrow's #IMC2024 presentation as part of the
@midagesmodgames.bsky.social strand tomorrow. I'll be presenting on the richness of the sonic world presented in 'Pentiment' by the reconsideration of the voice as non-sounding.

Delighted to share the design for my book cover, a beautiful design by Oswin Wan. It still needs to be adapted by the publisher but this is our chosen design. As always, a joy to work with Os! Every little image is closely linked to a part of the book, some purposefully more obvious than others.

It's a huge amount of work but indexing can be quite expensive.

Do you work doing indexes? Or was it for your own work?

Yes, I was very disappointed because I thought the first one was quite interesting and lots of people recommended the second game but it really wasn't for me. I have lots of thoughts 😂 Pentiment: I love it! I've been playing Inkulinati and I also really like it.

I think there are some really problematic things in the second game in regard to how they transformed her character which I really didn't like. I found the mechanics a bit tiring, I feel like I moved too many carts around!

One of the doctoral researchers I work with is looking for participants to do this online study. She's looking for participants with and without ADHD. The study is very short. If you can help and also share this post that would be very much appreciated.

On this very rainy Sunday morning, I bring you two of the cutest guinea pigs to brighten up your day. Regis on the left, hair goals! Zoltan, on the right, a little bit over 2 months now, his curls are starting to grow. He is still highly suspicious of me.
