Ketchupland
This should be fleshed out a bit more: Ketchupland, based on my early web memories. 27th October 2025
Technically my literature reading project is a project?
I'd like to make some weird little internet stories.
I've wanted, for ages, and have started a few times, to do interactive fic / games.
There's a long-running idea of finding out how the theory of evolution was adopted. It seems very zero to sixty in 0.3 seconds, to me, and I'd like to hear that story.
Years ago I had the idea to and made a vague attempt at a virtual museum for an industry in my city. Need to research, get photos, maybe a map, set up a site.
My wife and I are doing a project we call "eat our way through town". Starting from our house, all the Indian restaurants on the main road into the city, through the city, and out the other side up the road famous for Indian restaurants. The problem is that places keep changing and we have to keep doubling back. Also that our favourite is our favourite and too often we go there instead of somewhere new.
Other things:
- games. I miiight be learning Unity so I can help my wife with a project. But I'd like to make a game of my own. Or multiple
- my wife and I got quite a long way through brainstorming a boardgame the other year. Then last year we brainstormed a ttrpg. This year we are combining the two. Why not I guess
- I should do something with all these Victorian etiquette manuals I've read - I wrote a post 10th September 2025
- am I interested enough in printing and letterpress stuff? Turns out I am, because I booked some classes.
- start a micropublishing collective with friends?
- do more community projects, maybe a podcast like I've been thinking about for years. Maybe a creative club. Maybe all these things
- wrote some relevant posts: microhobbies and what to learn
Relatedly, my interests, creativity and curiosity, and trying new things and doing more stuff pages.
