Hi. I'm Taylor
, a web developer in London. I log far more of my life than is strictly necessary. I've logged every calorie for 2,562 days straight, which is either impressive or a cry for help depending on who's asking.
I started The Creative Tinker at 19. My side quests include developing a WordPress plugin , and co-hosting a weekly podcast with my dad that's somehow at 259 episodes. Elsewhere on here you'll find activities, sleep, flights, and whatever else I'm measuring. When I'm offline, I'm either hitting a ball with a racket or making another coffee.

TIL what greenfielding a project is:
“…developing a system for a wholly new environment, without concern for integrating with other systems…”
Jeez, what on earth is that shocking rebrand! Who the fuck at McLaren thought this new branding was good?

Slack open in browser userscript
I despise Slack very much and try to use it as little as possible. Sometimes, however, I have no choice but to message a colleague or a friend, so I refuse to download the Slack app because I don't want it open all the time. One thing that…

Okay, new experience unlocked - putting on super warm trousers that have just come out of the washer dryer. It's like a hot water bottle for your legs!
Having my Surgeon come up to me in Nando’s is a very weird experience.
It’s weird to think these people live an actual life outside of the hospital 😅
Had an awesome day with Adam and Kayce exploring London. Although my feet are absolutely recked… walked 16k steps.
One of the craziest stats I've heard all year: so far in the 2026 F1 season, Lance Stroll is yet to drive a full-distance race, due to either retiring or finishing at least one lap down.
I always find it incredible how Adam from BeardMeatsFood manages to put all the food away. Over 45 plates in 1 hour is just ridiculous!

Birmingham are defending as if it were the Champions League final in the last few minutes of this 103-minute game against Derby County.
I don't believe it; how on earth has Luis Vázquez missed a tap-in from point-blank range? It was harder to miss than score!
