Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I blog, vlog, write and do science!

This site is my home on the web and points to my various projects around the internet and in real life. Enjoy!

Blogger

Tinker Tailor Soldier Sponge

I blog about tech (Tinker), costumes (Tailor), airsofting (Soldier) and baking (Sponge).

Tinker

I like to tinker with Linux, LaTeX and Windows.

You’ll find guides on inserting equations into Word documents correctly, generating MR pulse sequence diagrams in LaTeX, setting up a media server and the like.

Tailor

I semi-regularly go to events in fancy dress.

For the most part this section covers the time I dressed up as Thor but new content will be coming soon.

Soldier

I am an airsofter though I don’t get to go as often as I’d like. There will be more content coming in future.

Sponge

I enjoy baking and making interesting cakes.

Stop by for MRI scanner cakes, giant versions of famous biscuits and anything else I put my mind to baking!

The Rest

I also write about my PhD and review teas!
