Tesla Car Episode #1: Mural Masters and Miro Masters
I thought it might be fun to record an episode in my Tesla while I was running some errands. I don’t know if the audio quality is going to be enough, but hopefully it’s entertaining. Anyway, in this episode I talk about two new services I’m going to be prototyping in the weeks to come. Mural Masters and Miro Masters. The idea is to do at least 10 experiments for each one to see if either of them have traction in the market. If you have any comments, opinions, or questions about what I talk...

AARR #25 - Blox Hunt
My son often looks at what his Roblox friends are playing to get started with new games. Blox Hunt was one of them. It's an interesting approach to a hide-and-seek game, where you can disguise yourself as an object (and run around when you get caught as one). Besides defining what a hider and a seeker was (over and over and over again), we did manage to both be seekers at the same time. Were we able to find all the hiders before time expired? You'll have to watch to find out. :) ----- Fo...

While uploading this episode to start the new year, I just discovered that Roblox took this particular game offline for review. So you can't play it, and you'll have to suffer my person explaining the details of the game. The only redeeming part of this podcast is when my son somehow jettisons me off the world a couple of times. All the same, welcome back... and enjoy the show. :)
