In a world shaped by digital tools and AI, craft still matters. As Becky Scheel explores in her latest piece, hands-on techniques like collage and service storming push us to experiment and notice. Making itself is a form of thinking. youtube.com/shorts/YMeHE...

Lately I’ve been seeing digital enrichment pop back up in the news. Maybe it’s an antidote to all the AI talk, but zoos and aquariums have actually been using digital enrichment for a long time. It’s also the subject of my graduate thesis + published paper. www.youtube.com/watch?v=neFo...

I’ve written this blog three different ways. First, an ode to analog. Then a rant about my sheer frustration with our increasingly over-optimized lives. I hit publish when I started drawing comparisons to biology. And maybe some Jimothy fandom creeped in, as you do. 🦝

It’s impossible to understate how much Alexi Lalas doesn’t deserve to be at the same table with Henry and Zlatan. It’s the NFL equivalent of putting Tom Brady and Peyton Manning up there, but then adding a belligerent Mark Sanchez who dominates the conversation.
