An #introduction. I'm Tim, live in #Adelaide amongst the trees, birds and koalas. I work in #HigherEd and am passionate about #LearningDesign and creating great learning experiences fusing graphic design, #UX, learning and innovation. I build stuff with #11ty and dabble in dark magic via #CSS.
Not much action on the #ascilite hashtags for a while... So who's coming to #Adelaide for #Ascilite2025 #Ascilite25?

Day 1 in #Wellington. I am absolutely wrecked - completely ruined by running on multiple timezones across a couple of days and I couldn’t think straight. Assigned some time for a nap and went walking.
Someone needs to explain the guys in suits with thongs/flip-flops/jandals though.

It was a pleasure to present this morning at #ReclaimOpen25. It's already up on YouTube, where I've included all the links to the sites mentioned. I really wanted to call out to the #11ty community, who are the ones that taught me everything I know.

Spent the weekend finalising slides for this week's #ReclaimOpen conference. Looking forward (and slightly daunted by being on after the keynote) to sharing some thoughts on using #11ty to reclaim the open web.

The great Aussie gas giveaway is set to continue under Labor 🤯🫠
This is a total scam - we haven’t received a cent of PRRT for offshore LNG exports & the weak changes Govt made last term aren’t fixing it.
Parliament needs to fix the PRRT.

The government expected to raise an additional $2.4 billion over four years thanks to changes to the tax on oil and gas profits. It is now forecasting to raise $4 billion less over that same time.

I have updated the Academic Workload Tracker for 2025. I strongly encourage all academics to track how long you actually work, and at what tasks. It's a crucial way to counter the deliberate wage-theft of obfuscatory university workload models.

Bananas are Berries. Raspberries are Not.
It turns out berry is actually a botanical term, not a common English one. Blackberries, mulberries, and raspberries are not berries at all, but bananas, pumpkins, avocados and cucumbers are. So what ...

I have the ability to influence a course aimed at embedding entrepreneurial & design thinking practice to help develop change making skills in students.
Give me some ideas on what you would want to see embedded or practiced in the course!
How do you think we should teach/facilitate it?

Found some time today to play with #MarkWhen. This is what I've been looking for! Being able to create timelines and calendars using basic data structures so that I can pull together some planning for 2025.
