I was immediately struck when I looked down at just the boardwalk how similar it felt to being on LSD. I am continually astounded with how similar these systems end up seeming to how our brain works. May just be happy coincidences but I am pretty sold on there being true parallels that will only become more and more apparent.

Hey! I have a business inquiry for you but I don't see a contact anywhere on your website. Is there a place I can reach you? Thank you!

Thanks for the tips! I live in the middle of the concrete jungle that is LA so I instead have the kushiest moon-shoes I could find. As for the klondike bar I’ll have to train up my neck :)

iMessage automation. I love technologies so ubiquitous that they end up registering in our brain as “real life.”

We spend so much time texting each other that it has become transparent, so one expects a cute little chatbot or small game to show up, and it delights people!

I recently made a framework to allow playing Twine games through iMessage and people really love it:

Another one that brought a lot of joy was hooking up a friend’s iMessage to immediately respond to all messages with a chatbot. It was before ChatGPT came out, so it was just convincing enough to have people for a few messages, but scuffed enough to have some very funny off-kilter responses. It sowed a lot of chaos in our group chats :)
