Old magician who likes old cars, and old whisky

A personal collection, still growing

Old is good.
Curiosity keeps it interesting.

Welcome to my corner of the web. Old cars, old cameras, good whisky, a little magic—and whatever has caught my attention lately.

Some of it is practical. Some of it is just for the pleasure of looking, learning, and figuring things out.

A few enduring interests.

No particular order. Plenty of detours.

Through the lens

Looking a little closer.

Birds, nature, weathered details, and the everyday things worth noticing.

01 / The other kind of wonder

A little
misdirection.

My magic notebook, library, and practice tools now have a home of their own.

Old machines, lasting affection

Cars with character.

02 / Making things work

Computers
& experiments.

From the systems I have worked with to today’s tools and AI-assisted projects.

03 / Farther afield

Journeys
& journals.

Travel stories, photographs, and memories collected along the way.

04 / A different pace

Practice
& perspective.

Tai Chi, movement, and learning something a little more deeply.

05 / Worth taking slowly

A taste
for old whisky.

A personal journey through Scotland’s distilleries, one glass at a time.

A touch-friendly workout log for routines, sets, reps, and weights. Pick up where you left off with your previous session as a guide.

A browser-based editor for creating and editing watch faces for Amazfit / Zepp and Samsung Galaxy watches.

03 / A daily puzzle

Griddle

A daily 5 × 5 word-grid puzzle: find five words across, with five more running down for extra clues.

    On the straights it snarls, a low‑slung, orange painted beast that translates every ounce of its 600 hp into pure, unfiltered acceleration. The chassis is taut,…

The person behind the pages

Hello, I’m Bob.

A magician, photographer, lifelong tinkerer, and collector of interests. This site brings together the things I’ve worked on, the places I’ve been, and a few things I’ve learned.

It has grown over many years. Think of it less as a polished portfolio and more as an open door to my workshop.
