Tomorrow I stream for #ExtraLife2025.

I do this for the kids who need care, and in memory of a friend who fought hard.
Let’s make a difference.

Yesterday’s massive #AWS outage reminded everyone of an old truth: it’s always #DNS.

A DNS issue in AWS’s US-EAST-1 cluster took down apps, banks, and games worldwide. Learn why DNS remains the #Internet’s weakest strong link:

Can a toy teach coding? Fisher-Price thought so with the #CodeAPillar, a colorful robot designed to introduce preschoolers to sequencing. Did it work, and what can we learn from it?

Built an entire #RPGDesign project using #GenerativeAI. It was both impressive and deeply frustrating.

From lore drift to broken balance, Storm Tome shows where AI shines and where it still needs a human touch.

What happens when you try to build an RPG with #GenerativeAI?

I’ve spent months testing tools like #ChatGPT and #ClaudeAI to create Storm Tome, a world with factions, rules, and a lot of AI surprises (good and bad).

Have you heard of #Sifteo? In 2011, a pair of MIT researchers launched a toy unlike anything else: tiny cubes with screens and sensors that responded to how you moved them. It was a bold experiment in merging physical play with digital interaction. A lot has changed since then, but the idea never fu
