Projects
I've been involved in many things online over the years. Here are a few:
Metal Menu
I bloody love music, and go more than one gig a month on average. I've set aside a place for my gig reviews and thoughts on new music.
The Technical Difficulties
I'm part of The Technical Difficulties with Tom Scott, Gary Brannan and Chris Joel. We've been making fact-based comedy since the mid-2000s. All of our videos are available via The Technical Difficulties YouTube Channel.
We made 8 series of our show Citation Needed, sold out our first live show in just 24 hours, and filmed our 6th 7th, and 8th series in front of a sold-out live audience at YouTube Space London. We will not be making any more Citation Needed.
The Technical Difficulties started off as a show on University Radio York, winning two Student Radio Awards: The inaugural Kevin Greening Award for Creativity in 2008 and a Bronze for Best Entertainment in 2009.
Will It Soft Serve
I bought a soft-serve ice cream machine, and put everything except ice cream mix through it!
Park Bench
Weekly video series with Tom Scott which ran from 2015-2018.
We were taught cuneiform by a senior professor at the British Museum, had our car pulled over by the Estonian military, and made the world's worst public apology.
These videos were uploaded to our Matt And Tom Youtube channel. Other projects include a four hour live stream of a dot-matrix printer and shredder.
Emojli
Emojli was the emoji-only messenger for iOS and (experimentally) for Android. We closed it down in July 2015 because it was way too much effort to keep.
Tom and I spoke about the development of Emojli at Electromagnetic Field festival in 2014: Watch Emojli: Behind the Scenes and Why You Should Never Build An App .
We will not be developing Emojli for any more platforms and have no plans to make the code available.
