Hi, I’m Simon Madine and I make digital toys and write guides on web development.
I'm a senior web dev on Nokia Maps in Berlin.
All too often, I have ideas which might make a cool website or iPhone app or whatever and I know I just don't have the time to build them. I'm going to post them here in the hope that someone else might find a use for them. These ideas might already be in existence, of course. I'm not claiming they are unique in any way (although some might be).
You are free to take these ideas and do whatever you like with them. Of course, if they become amazingly successful, I could do with a bigger TV...
If you wake up every morning and think, "My t-shirts are so dull, I wish I had interesting clothes...", you need to have a look at my online shop.
I'm currently sitting outside typing on my new Sony Mylo watching another mad lightning storm. I'm able to sit outside because there's absolutely no rain at all. The storm is happening directly above me but it's so high, the thunder barely makes it down here. It's also been going on for a surprisingly long time. Normally - in my experience at least - storms come and go in a few minutes but for the last hour, the entire sky's been flickering like a broken fluorescent light. I like the weather here, it's interesting.
Also, despite having sat patiently through several lightning storms taking photos, this is the closest I've come to a proper photo of a fork. One single bolt barely visible round the corner of my flat. Must try harder.
