A few years back Make-a-Wish reached out to me. There was a kid whose dream was to create a game inspired by The Mandalorian. I invited him over, and together we built a game fulfilling his dream! ✨ (The game can't be shared, for legal reasons)

Please be kind to each other!

Another school IT closet rescue, a Silicon Graphics Indy Workstation!
I picked up a video adapter and it booted right up.
These machines were way out of my league when I was a kid, but now I finally get to tinker with one! It has Photoshop 2.5.2.

Meet Moxie, my new CS teaching assistant. We repurposed one of the now defunct Embodied robots using OpenMoxie. I’m going to encourage my students to reprogram him & add some new features. It’s using the OpenAI api to respond.

It’s alive! Our IT department raided the closets and dropped off some vintage tech, including this old Apple IIe. Next step is loading Oregon Trail so my students can truly appreciate how far technology has come.

Working on lesson plans for an AI class with Stable-Retro, a retrogame tool with reinforcement learning. I gave it one incentive—points. Instead of beating the level, it figured out how to spawn the same mob & farmed points until time ran out. This will make a great lesson on incentives & outcomes.

🐾 Spotted this salamander wandering the Oregon woods. The forest is full of surprises. 🍂 #OregonLife
