Come learn with me! It’s way cheaper than an MFA 😉 Seriously, though, you’ll discover a lot and we’ll have fun.

Season 2 of #MakingAMurderer is now live! As you dive in, I recommend checking out @JButing book ILLUSION OF JUSTICE about the case and, more broadly, the problems with America’s justice system as it currently functions and the dire need for reform. indiebound.org/book/978006256…

Here’s a cool thing we made at our last internal Hackathon – a (very small) subset of SF Yelp businesses, explorable on GameBoy, + some fun minigames. Runs on GB, Super GB and GBC hardware, fit into 32K (we figured out bank-switching a little too late!)

Interacting with someone's #AI personal assistant is wonderfully strange. No need to greet the assistant or say thanks but being polite over email is a habit. My respect for the human extends to their AI PA @xdotai. I wonder what new etiquette will evolve as we interact with AI?
