Hello, I'm Cal.
*As of 2025 I work in media producing the digital support for tv shows
In the early 2010s I ran the reasonably well-regarded comedy blog "Oh Yeah Me Too" before accidentally deleting it due to a fundamental misunderstanding of how website databases worked. It then briefly became a paper magazine, selling over 10 (but less than 12) copies
In 2013, in the early days of TV streaming, we crowd-funded and launched "sixteenbynine" magazine, which ran for one glorious pilot issue
In 2017 I wrote "The French Exchange Whale and Other Rejected Book Ideas" published by Hodder
In 2022 I made a Keeping Up Appearances gameboy game, loading it onto an actual cartridge to be playable on original hardware. "Is this real???" - Rylan
I am currently renovating a house which has so far taken two years, of which three nights were spent in a London hospital following "the radiator incident"
I take photos on film
I tinker with small electronics projects, combining my interests in Raspberry Pis, 3D printing and receiving small but noticeable electric shocks
