What if you could take a vacation from yourself? Rekall calls it The Ego Trip, but we call it Comic-Con. Here’s a little story about how I became Blade Runner’s Gaff for a day at Portland’s Con. tinyurl.com/3fbffec7

Hello! I’ve been working on a summer crafting project involving props, home automation, and Blade Runner. I thought others might enjoy it! open.substack.com/pub/theescap...

Here’s a note about my new lightsaber, and how disproportionately giddy I am about it. I’m posting it to set up my new Substack, “The Escape Pod.” If my direction on escaping into science fiction sounds interesting, feel free to subscribe! open.substack.com/pub/jamilion...

I'm writing some short pieces about escaping reality. The first was about our trip on the Galactic Starcruiser. This next one is about the time machine I found in the basement. open.substack.com/pub/jamilion...

I’m in LA, first at Gamesbeat today and tomorrow, and Digital Entertainment World on Thursday. At DEW, I’ll be moderating a panel on Investing in AI in entertainment. The panelists are Seth Hallen, Kayla Comalli, Chang Kim, and Katja Reitemeyer — they’re all passionate and hands-on, should be fun!

I'll be at DICE in Las Vegas 2/11-2/14. If you'd like to deconstruct Matthew Ball's deck, debate the merits of Companion, or just try to keep our chins up, let's connect!
