Our workshop
Tools, experiments and lessons from That Computer Guy and Australian Business IT. We explain what exists today and what still needs work.
YouTube research
Long videos can contain useful ideas buried in a lot of talking. Our research tools organise videos into chapters so we can explore the relevant parts and return to the source.

Notes, conversations and research pile up. The Distillery helps turn that material into something shorter to read, with the source still there when you need the detail.

Our Chrome extension explores a practical problem: information is on one page, but you need it on another. It can work with selected page fields in front of you.
