My name is Clark MacLeod and this is my banal weblog. I started kelake in 1999 primarily as a personal reference tool and as a means to share my wide range of interests amongst colleagues and friends. I write and curate about design, experience, creativity, sound, ambient and tangible interfaces, collaboration, innovation, life in Asia, and more. There are a smattering of baby pictures in there too.

I tend to work on a lot of different projects but currently I spend much of my time investigating collaborative systems for the Creativity Lab at the Industrial Technology Research Institute.

Previously I spent a great deal of time exploring ambient and tangible interfaces, sound art, and the creation of collaborative environments for music making. In addition, my work has focused on social media, experience design, information architecture, web design, and music performance. With the exception of music performance I may be working on any one of these topics at any one time.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music (Jazz) from St. Francis Xavier University and a Master of Applied Art from Chiao Tung University. I also spent 3 years at Humber College of Music where I studied trumpet and Jazz performance.

I grew up in pristine and beautiful Prince Edward Island - home of green grass, red mud, and Anne of Green Gables. I currently live amongst the hills of Siangshan with my wife, daughter, son, and 2 dogs.
