Paul Truong (AKA Monocubed)

I'm a Creative Technologist at Google and like to create things with equal parts design & code.

The more I learn from these disciplines, the more I appreciate how similar their processes are.

More importantly, I've come to realise that the most significant results are cultivated in the space where these two meet.

This blog delves into this concept.

Elsewhere, you'll find me chirping on twitter, snapping on Instagram (currently viewable via tumblr and flickr) and uploading work-in-progress on dribbble to name a few destinations.

I also speak occasionally on subjects related to the modern browser - for enquiries please email paul@monocubed.com.

Open web gaming has taken off in a big way and to give some recognition to this trend, MozillaLabs hosted a packed out event earlier this week to discuss its future. I was honoured to join the other speakers on stage to talk about HTML5 and share some demos.

It was a great to meet the legendary Christian Heilmann, super talented Seb Lee-Delisle, soon-to-be Friends of Ed author Rob Hawkes as well as the many awesome folks at Mozilla including @cyberdees and @SAHerne. If you’re working on a game yourself you may want to submit it to Mozilla’s competition which closes on the 11th January 2011.

Google Jam was hosted at Shoreditch Town Hall on Wednesday and showcased some of the latest products & platforms available for Creative agencies to experiment with. This was my first time working with the UK events team and it was a lot of fun demonstrating YouTube Bubble in one of the breakout booths – particularly as it was on a giant touch screen!

This illustration was created by the brilliant scriberia who were also at the event scribbling live.

Finally, above are the video highlights and here are the official photos from the event.
