Ccreator, explorer, and citizen scientist focused on the use of technology and emerging methodologies to capture the natural world so that it may be experienced in different ways.
I needed a break from problem-solving. From producing. From being useful. So I built something that didn’t ask anything of me. And somehow, Metatation emerged. Most apps want something from you, mine doesn't. You tap. A ripple answers. tom-mcguire.com/metatation-a...

Was asked to make a door prize for TexCAD. Too little time for helmets, so I redesigned the ECAD mark, cut vinyl, blasted glaze, and crossed my fingers. One mug made it. The survivor went to a lucky explorer. #TexCAD #ECAD2025 tom-mcguire.com/texcad-2025-...

Grant cash dried up, tariffs hiked import costs—so I coded SponsorGEN to build sponsor decks from a brand’s own data. Less guessing, more green lights. Demo vid: youtu.be/aE3uMMsFh4U | Tool notes: tom-mcguire.com/sponsor-gen/ #SponsorGEN #ExpeditionTech

Introducing PaleoSight: My new AI-powered tool for cave art detection & analysis. Inspired by my visit to Shumla, I saw a way to reveal lost brushstrokes hidden for millennia. The first results? Stunning. And this is just the start. @theexplorersclub.bsky.social #PaleoSight #AI #CaveArt #Archaeology

🏜️ Heading into the Lower Pecos!
From Jan 28-30, I’ll be exploring Fate Bell Shelter with fellow Explorers Club member Bob Rein, documenting 4,000-year-old rock art using photogrammetry 📸. Can’t wait to apply field techniques I recently taught!
