Practical guides
Short, affordable guides about agents, auctions, small business, starting over and preserving a life story.
About · Martin Davies-Roundhill
A life of
useful questions.
I live in Largs Bay, South Australia, and use this site to make room for ideas that do not fit neatly into one job title.
A working biography
From care
to systems.
I am a former nurse, researcher and tinkerer. My work moves between practical digital guides, public-interest questions, vehicles, family projects and experiments with AI and robotics.
Some of these projects are commercial: the End Up Here store contains short guides drawn from things actually done. Others are exploratory: People and Robots looks at how intelligent machines might support human care, while the New Earth Catalog asks what tools and arrangements could make different kinds of lives possible.
I am interested in the point where a large idea meets an ordinary day. Can a guide help someone get unstuck? Can technology make care more human rather than less? Can a public proposition be specific enough to test?
