    Why The Fediverse Excites Me

    Once upon a time, the internet was ruled by a combination of people’s individual blogs, and instant messenger. The most-reliable way to get access to a person’s content was actually through their own personal website. If someone wanted to connect with people online, they would publish blog content on their site. Sometimes content was pretty […]

    Never Give Up! Trust Your Instincts!

    In 1996 I was a young lad who played a video game called Starfox. In this game, there is are sections that are extremely stressful, and overwhelming. During these times, a main character would jump in and say: “Never Give Up! Trust Your Instincts!” The game designer added this piece of dialogue because he wanted […]

    Is there place for augmented reality in manufacturing? Yup.

    Most people know about augmented reality. If you haven’t heard the precise phrase, you’ve probably heard of Google Glass. Same idea.

    Sometimes, You Just Have to Fall

    I began my freelance career in June. Like many who work from home, it wasn’t long before I got tired of never leaving my house. My desire to go do something active grew until I finally caved. I had to go do something right now. I couldn’t stare at my PC any more.
