  At Hypertext I cover the maker movement, videogames, movies, computing, and general lifestyle stories. As part of maker coverage I started the '3D Print of the Day'​ series which looks at a different 3D printed design each day. This series of articles has garnered hundreds of thousands of views. I also look at community-created projects based on the Arduino, Raspberry Pi and more. Aside from the general news cycle I also review entertainment products, write opinion pieces and features, as well as conduct interviews. Please see my most recent example, which was a look at H.P. Lovecraft's influence on modern videogames below. Through htxt.africa's​ parent company I also ghost write for large publications and create advertorials. We also put out a monthly magazine, 'Tech made Easy'​, which I contribute to. Show less
