I'm a bit of an eclectic mess πŸ™‚ I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

Anyone know an artist that can do good 3d cutaways of space craft or military vehicles? I’m looking to pay to have one made for a new books series I have coming out. I’d like to print up some posters and maybe book inserts with it. Please reach out!

HOLY SHIT Y'ALL!

Scientists have found an obsidian tool making "workshop" which dates to 1.2 MILLION YEARS AGO in Ethiopia.

This pushes this type of tool making back 500,000 years.

WOOOOOOOOOOOW
