An Aladdin’s Cave of free digital resources! This blog is my “trove” –  stuff I have created including print & play games, soundscapes, writings, poems, images, and crafts-related projects. Everything digital here is free for you to take away and use or adapt for your own projects. Please feel free to browse my project pages at leisure, and take away whatever digital baubles or trinkets happen to catch your eye or ear.

I also have for sale real world items – clocks, trinket boxes – unique gifts and quirky items that I have created using up-cycling, 2D & 3D printing and various craft techniques. These and other miscellaneous curiosities are for sale in my UK Etsy Shop:

thedigitaltinkerer.etsy.com

I also sell games via the Gamecrafter print-on-demand service based in the USA:

I am a binary beachcomber, a digital tinkerer. I don’t claim to be a craftsman, a musician, a writer or an artist – I am just one of the people often found pottering around in the margins between the real world and the digital. I welcome comments and enquiries – please contact me.

• Fixing MP3 Playlist order on USB Drives (5/30/2025) - I was recently asked about personal playlists on a USB drive playing in the wrong order.

Soundscape : […]
• Playing Skyrim (again…) (9/23/2023) - I have not posted for ages. Am still alive, though 🙂 Various projects on the go, not least being a new Soundscape album.
