The Inflatable House started life as a micro blog on Tumblr, hosting YouTube videos of music I’d come across and wanted to share. The along came This Is My Jam, which pretty much did the exact same thing – only a little more socially. I didn’t just want to abandon my Tumblr blog, so set about integrating my This Is My Jam updates in amongst the YouTube videos I was still adding.

Self Centered Censorship
January 27th, 2012 in Social NetworkingAt no other point in history have we been so comfortable sharing our lives with complete strangers. Being comfortable is basically akin to being at home – and when you’re at home, you let your guard down and do whatever you want.

Finley’s Social Network
March 17th, 2011 in Social NetworkingBefore Finley arrived in June last year I knew I wanted to set him up with a Twitter account, I had seen other friends on Twitter refer to their children by @reply so it wasn’t a new idea. During the first few days of Finley being at home with us I set up his Twitter account.
Vector WeeMee & More About.me
February 11th, 2011 in Design, Social NetworkingI’ve been wanting to do this for a while now, and after seeing Dan Leech’s really impressive About.me page, I decided to vectorise my avatar so it could be enlarged and I could use it in a few more places – including about.me, without it looking pixelated and blurred.

Tumblr Favourites
