People say "autism never used to exist" and then you go to the Natural History Museum and the exhibit has a caption like "Born in 1762, The Revd [name] was famously irascible, steadfast in his routine, and dedicated his life to collecting 25,000 rare beetle specimens".

Svenska is 7! The queen of my heart.

Hi! I'm speaking at the IEN summit about *immersive tech in cultural heritage orgs,* alongside smarties from @xrstories.bsky.social @medialeuk.bsky.social and more. Join us! immersiveexperience.network/articles/eve...

A (very accomplished, very good) artist I work with is looking for curatorial connections in Paris. Any thoughts?

Disney's really been popping off lately! www.ign.com/articles/we-...

This is such a great project! And as a cross-disciplinary weirdo, the theme of the "misfit" is close to my heart.

i'm the guy who invented the spike traps that pop out of temple walls. i hate my job. every day my boss says "why haven't we killed any archeologists" and i say "they haven't invented that yet." they pay me in tomb juice. i hate tomb juice. honestly i might just start working on my big boulder idea

Training Svenska to be a good restaurant girl was such a good choice, and she gets so much free ham everywhere we go.

I am totally going to see Eddington (and am frankly surprised it's coming to England) because I lived in New Mexico in 2020. I'm excited to see how it'll show up on film, and also excited that some people will learn what it is and stop thinking that I moved to the UK from (old) Mexico.

We were in a Steam Daily Deal the other day and it's nice to see some new people and find out the game is still good :) Still 50% off!

I am going to be teaching/mentoring a bunch this autumn, and I'm looking forward to it!

three thoughts on AI this morning: 1. AI is changing how we speak. this reminds me of how big systems (countries, religions) tend to end up with everyone within them speaking at least one language in common. (YES THIS IS COMPLEX and sometimes enforced ie bad.) www.theverge.com/openai/68674...

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

Having a cute dog is a cheat code for cute experiences. A little girl just did a cartwheel for Svenska in Starbucks.

Totally would have signed up for this @indiecade.bsky.social symposium if the timezone was right for me! www.indiecade.com/PlayableThea...

I wrote an essay about how good experience design is like Sesame Street and now I have no idea what to do with it. This isn't what I was supposed to be writing a book about!

the brain that can see a face in a wall outlet was always doomed to hear the voice of God in a markov chain

Marcel Proust whips out a Black & Decker drill and lobotomizes you on the dancefloor. This is Requiem Mash II, a stew of late twentieth-century subculture and tomfoolery. I made it for you. 124 songs in under 38 minutes. Featuring "Scatman Will Tear Us Apart." alexreed.bandcamp.com/album/requie...

"Assembling Voices is a fellowship that supports activists, artists, scholars, workers, and others with ideas for public initiatives that bring people together to address community-identified issues in novel ways."

college students using AI for writing essays is the result of the deprioritization of the humanities. what a mistake that has been, and will continue to be.

Unusual ask, but do I know anyone in Bristol who wants to dog-sit Friday evening?

OK, the experience design for this just looks so delicious and rich. I would love to see this when it comes to Paris!

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.
