Any fellow Chair Company enthusiasts? Thinking of buying this nice wheelbarrow

Lately my kid has wanted me to tell her jokes before bed. So now Slumber Realm has become infected by them too. Sorry.

I spent 30 mins recently watching a YouTube video all about this Mighty Max toy which I owned and hadn't thought about in 30 years

How did you trick burglars trying to break into your house?

If you are were born sometime in the 80s, did you own one of these?

I promise I didn't plan this out but check out what version of my game I just shipped🥧

Check out what I'm testing today...

My latest Trash Haul! I like to pick up a few pieces of trash on my walks around the neighborhood.

I get a little dopamine hit each time. It’s like finding video game collectables but IRL. 10/10.

ok I haven't figured out all the details yet🍕👻

I can honestly say that I don’t know and I don’t even know where to begin

I ❤️ actionable business insights and unstructured data is where it’s at

Did it! Perfect game on Roku daily pop trivia for the first time! This is a BIG DEAL for me

One advantage of being a programmer + designer is that I can write little scripts to answer design questions.

For example, I wanted to a list of all unlockable content in my game.

So I wrote some code which output all the info I needed. It took 30 mins and I can reuse & extend it in the future.

Just found out that Burger King doubled as an internet cafe in the late 90s

This was the ideal environment to surf the AOL chatrooms

Balancing the economy on my "day off"

I'm sure other people are doing far more interesting things. What are you up to?

It's not sexy work but I've found these feedback mechanisms to be critical in other games I've worked on

Here I'm surfacing an error/exception on the screen when it happens and I encourage them to use the built in feedback system to submit to me

Very cool and normal voice mail message to receive from a number I don’t know
