“The Nothing is the main antagonist in The Neverending Story. It has the power to destroy Fantastica piece by piece by absorbing it, as the result of humans no longer believing in the world of fantasy…”

Pictured is G'mork whose mission is to kill Atreyu the hero

I recently spoke at the 2025 AI Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama where I discussed “How to Prevent Catastrophic Failure When Creating an Immersive AI System”.

The US Space and Rocket Center then asked if I’d like to stay the weekend…

We had a meteorologist in DC who also did the entertainment news. @eboninflight.bsky.social and I would write in for free show tickets each week and eventually became friends with Kyle. A personal achievement was seeing our front porch on TV during the snow report. Go meteorologists!

The nazi SS laughed and hated Superman, accusing him of sowing "hate, suspicion, evil, laziness, and criminality" in young American hearts. Screw the nazis then and now.

Craving Vietnamese summer rolls? They aren’t difficult to make, just be sure you’ve got good crunchy ingredients to complement the protein and softer components. These contain avocado, cucumber, lettuce, jicama, mint, and tofu or salmon. Prep time is 20 mins, build time is 2 minutes per.

It’s been 25 years since Avatar was released in London on Dec. 10, 2009. I’m still trying to watch it in 3D on a plane.

My buddy 3D printed a case for my handheld - I wrapped it in vinyl. Handheld will drive the glasses that show the movie - now in spatial video format.

A futuristic man in an airplane wearing Virtue Pro XR glasses while trying to watch a 3D movie converted from MVC Blu-ray Disc to Spatial Video format. He believes the problem is that although the HEVC conversion occurred, it appears that the spatial format meta-tag was not successfully applied to the file. A photograph of a vinyl wrapped 3D-printed cover for an Anbernic RG Cube handheld device that is sitting on a wood table that hints of festive cheer where a red ribbon can faintly be seen at the top right corner. By the way, that’s a heating gun up there. It was used to heat up the vinyl to wrap it around the corners of the 3D printed cover. The heating gun looks like a Christmas ornament if you just catch it out of the corner of your eye. Anbernic RG Cube Android handheld with a custom launcher on a glass side table. RG Cube Android handheld modded with custom PlayStation buttons and a custom emulation front-end.

What better way to vacation than to time travel. On a recent excursion with my sister we visited Hill Valley, California around January 1955. It was an excellent time.

The Apple iBook Firewire SE (Graphite) continued the use of the iconic clamshell design of the 1999 original. This 466MHz Mac shipped with a whopping 64MB of RAM. It’s perfect for MacOS 9 games from the late 1990’s (ie. Sim Cinema Deluxe, A-10 Attack, F/A-18 Hornet by GraphSim). #retrogames #apple

A fun advantage of having a design background is the ability to create my own virtual pinball backglass art. Image #1 is from a custom @therealelvira.bsky.social “attract mode” animation. Elvira rocks! The Deadpool and Iron Man illustrations include comic book covers I love. #pinball #games #design

Up the street from my house growing up there was a 4-slot NEO GEO cab. Spent all my quarters playing Super Sidekicks, The Last Blade 2, Samurai Showdown II, & Metal Slug. @3mill.bsky.social helped me customize a broken one when he was younger.

Computers have played an important part in my life. My first was a Macintosh SE my family paid off over two years. With advice from @woodtoast.bsky.social and testing by @eboninflight.bsky.social I recreated the experience using an old case and a raspberry pi. #retrocomputing #apple #retrogaming

Early in my career I travelled between NASA centers to support research/analysis initiatives regarding the future of human space flight. The first pics are of a Space Shuttle orbiter landing at the SLF at Kennedy Space Center, the second set is an orbiter in the OPF being prepped #hsf #nasa #shuttle

High stakes, high rewards. I recently lead a team which designed a real-time VR demonstration of a notional space station presented at a NASA milestone meeting. Using AI & XR tools we accelerated the workflow speed by 10x. These are 2 images publicly released by Northrop Grumman. #space #vr #ai #hsf

Power is still down throughout the Seattle metropolitan area. A neighbor a couple blocks away just narrowly missed having their house squashed by a pole. Finding power, some warm coffee, and internet today. Stay safe everybody! #seatle #bombcyclone
