Many-hat wearer, roller robot, and Apple design evangelist. On social media these days mostly to help the Apple developer community, geek out about interactive storytelling and experience design, and say hi to friends. And write. Writing’s good too.

PSA to my friends in California near the fires: breathing in wildfire smoke is really bad for you (even if it’s not super thick where you are) but if you have face masks (N95, KN95, etc) those can help a lot

Really excited about this one. Are you a creative technologist, director, designer, 3D artist, or writer who makes interactive or immersive stories (or do you want to)?

You should apply for our event on February 27 in Cupertino. (Or check out the live stream!)

At some point, if all goes well, you stop taking pride in arcane knowledge about niche topics and you start taking pleasure in sharing your passion with as many people who are obviously interested as possible. Our time here to learn and live is brutally short. Don't keep gates. Hold them open. Wide.

Microblogging in 2024: rewriting seventeen drafts of a post in quick succession while my cat demands one of my hands leave the phone to pet her.
