I'm very please to announce a public release of my drag-and-drop bookmarking, game-making, and wandering tool Scrubjay! Scrubjay is a weird website builder that lets you cobble together web elements, images, links, text fragments, etc into a series of nested rooms...

"SCRUBJAY" sits over a bunch of images of frogs, birds, doors. it's a very 90s look

I travelled 27 hrs, fought endless visa issues to give this talk for our award-winning paper at #CHI2026. Your turn to show up 📍 P1, Room 112, Apr 15 (Wed), 12 noon. But why? I wish the didn't impact every knowledge worker. Sadly, it does, and we need to talk about it. 1/n

This new, shocking action by the US Administration just one part of a portfolio of severe taxes and restrictions on high-skill immigration to the United States. The resulting blow to our ability to attract global talent, and thus for the US economy to innovate & grow, will be terrible & permanent.

I make myself a home in every seat I sit in three times, every person I talk to twice, every friend I cry with once, I circle and settle in to rest. I am surprised every single time to be jostled awake and told, "it's time to go" I wrest myself away in shock and horror… I will do it again.

hold on i have another one

the WHY FREE GAMES? manifesto

PEOPLE have been THINKING too long that GAMES are a PRIVILEGE of the “GAMER” or an INDUSTRY. GAMES ARE NOT BUSINESS! They do not belong to banks & fancy investors. GAMES ARE PLAY. GAMES are FREE & available to EVERYBODY. GAMES are EVERYWHERE because EVERYBODY can PLAY.

(Images of a dog chasing a ball, people playing Go, a cat and a computer)

PLAY SOOTHES PAIN!
Play wakes up sleepers!
Play nourishes & feeds!
PLAY IS EXPLORATION!
Play is for animals!
Play is for the kitchen!
PLAY IS LIKE GOOD BREAD!
PLAY IS FREE!
GAMES ARE FREE!

HURRAH!

Anyway, ArtKrit is a cool tool that generates creative scaffolds instead of generating art for you, and uses radical humility as a key design principle. It's good stuff!

my relationship with the sociotechnical affordances of bluesky suddenly feeling a lot less like "orphan voidposting before an altar to inattentive gods" and more like "cowardly flailing in a mostly empty public square while inescapably aware that a particular mortal creature is in attendance"
