Five folders, a Telegram bot and a notepad. How the writing on this site actually happens, why it started as training data for a machine, and what it showed me.

Nohutlu tavuklu pilav built on baldo rice and chicken broth. Kit, ingredients, method, and how to tell when it has come out right.

An Italian Weekend is out. The fifth DenMotion film, shot in Milan and on Lake Como in July.

After nine months of typing my journal I am taking the first pass to paper, and this is the running log of what changes when I do.

A running log of filming techniques I notice while watching. First entry is step printing, the smeared stutter Soderbergh runs across the pickpocket scene in Ocean's Eleven, and what it takes on the camera and in Premiere.

Photographs from Turgutreis, the spot on the west side of the Bodrum peninsula I go back to on every trip.

A running record of everything I have baked, tracked for reference with a flow diagram connecting the progression. This is a living post updated after each bake.

A banana bread built around overripe fruit. Kit, prep, method, notes, and a running log of every bake.

The follow-up to the Armour Coach brand build. I added a privacy notice to his site, asked him how he takes client information while I was writing it, and ended up replacing two Word documents with one branded form that takes real signatures, produces a signed PDF, emails it from his own address and sends the client back to his own site.

An animated sign-off for the films. Corner brackets drawing themselves, a wordmark pulling into focus, and the reason none of it was built in Premiere.
