An immersive design experience that happens to be a mobile game: PUK
You should know by now I don’t do games, but I do do pretty, and PUK, despite the rather unfortunate associations its name evokes (probably because I’m a girl and hockey was not the first thing I thought of…), is … Continue reading

I’m just not quite desperate enough to listen to these Audiobooks right now

I don’t think I’ll be making Daily Yoga my Yogini (although I sorely need one!)
