Who in the blazes?

Killerpoke is the independent blog of Nick Craske, creative director, living and working in London. Killerpoke is a method of inducing irreversible hardware damage on a machine. As a little-scamp the most rewarding play was always disassembling objects, turning them upside down, inside out and making something more useful, unexpected or playful - and sometimes just to enjoy pulling them apart. I'm even more curious now, and increasingly fascinated with technology and narrative to communicate and entertain in the digital world. Work is play.

    May the Fourth be With You – A Happy Star Wars day coincidence

    Posted in Killerpoke | No Comments »

    The force is strong with the wise David Kenobi. It’s been nearly six years since his last visit from the ‘Other Side’ – of the planet that is; from Australia, and what slick retro Star Wars gift he gave me. The original and complete Star Wars transfers set. I will grow up at some point… maybe.

    Was it the stickers? Tedious reboot and rebuild after a fatal Killerpoke

    Posted in Hardware, Killerpoke, Technology | No Comments »

    My laptop crashed, fizzled and burned during an important meeting with Bo Hellberg at Ogilvy.  Disaster; calamity and akward’ness.  It takes an immense time and effort to rebuild a machine; reinstall software; add plugins and add ons to utilities and to reconfigure every detail again.  Yawns, headaches and reboots.
