The Most Important Dream

The Most Important Dream

I had a dream last Friday that has had me thinking. It was one of those incredibly visceral dreams that feels so very real it was nearly impossible to discern whether I was asleep when I awoke. So riddle me this:
I was in a field of sand walking with somebody at my side. In front of me was a

Janet Hansen : Fashion Engineer – VBS.TV

About a month ago I edited this piece for VBS/Motherboard about Janet Hansen. An amazing person who combined her love for art, fashion, and technology all into one.

The Popularity Myth and a Case for Mortality

The Popularity Myth and a Case for Mortality

There is a time and a place and a life for all living things. I’ve always had that statement in the back of my head somewhere. What I do is specifically what I want and or need to do. The results of which are what I end up receiving from the world.
So, if you ask me what I want

Sid Meier and the 48 Hour Game – VBS.TV

On Valentine’s Day this year I was far from my girlfriend at the University of Michigan, with fellow Poptenner Peter Brauer, filming legendary game designer, Sid Meier, build a game from scratch in 48 hours.

We hung out with Eric Zimmerman, and talked about the birth of indie gaming with him. He’s was an incredibly insightful person, and one who I’m excited to continue watching.
