I’m spending some time this weekend thinking about blogging in the context of WebXR and WebGL scenes. What would it look like for a blog post to contain a 3D scene? How about writing a series of posts with different versions of the same scene over time? How about working with assets that appear in…
Most of my life I hid from color. I lived on the grayscale, punctuated with black. Dark color, dim light. Not to be seen. Never to stand out in a crowd. Something changed a few years ago. I started working in small accents of vivid colors here and there. A book, a pillow, a decoration….
Surrounded by concrete, stepped on by many, ignored by all but a few, this tiny garden thrives in the cap of a utility pipe.
I tend to overspend time and attention when learning something new. When I start to explore a new problem space, I often find myself spending days or weeks taking courses, reading, watching videos, etc. This feels productive but it often isn’t.

I walked through the Audubon Park, along the river, around the Statehouse, then to the main library. Here are a handful of montages that I made with footage. I made these with the…
Spline is a 3D graphics tool that can be used in a browser. I decided to make something simple with it to see what its like. Here is my first project, a toon shaded 3D logo for the Extended Collection. While it looks great in the viewport, I could not find a way to export…
This website is a personal project. My intention is to use this as a place where I can work on and publish side projects that are not directly related to my work at RAD or the Extended Collection. This site may have several VR and AR scenes that I work on. I may also include…
What is this? Since 2019 I’ve been having a slow conversation with myself about what I do for work. For context, I got my start in software development in 2011 in the FileMaker Pro platform. I worked on tons of internal solutions for small business and government clients while I built up some skills. In…
