Web Toys and Games

I occasionally make things in HTML and JavaScript. I used to do that more often. Heck, I used to do it for a living, but now I've moved over to working with video.

I've coded games and web toys for Comedy Central UK, Publicis, and Nokia.

I worked at Trinity Mirror's British Media Award-winning UsVsTh3m for more than a year, which isn't bad considering it was an experiment designed to last three months.

However, I'm not currently taking on new work in this area. Here's the Vault of Old Projects.
