It’s fun to find some research that is technically very cool, but that will also (no doubt) generate a ton of really funny YouTube videos in the future.
Warning: Very “tech”. (So it’s OK to skip to see the progress they have made.)
This is a really interesting talk about betting on design. Can you solve what sounds impossible through design?
Firstly, happy St. Patrick’s day!
I’m at an event for Irish technology entrepreneurs. (Silicon Valley 50 Global Awards.)

Joey Scoma put a lot of work into showing you how movies cut and transition.
It’s just under 12 minutes. If you’re into movies or make video, you’ll enjoy it.
It’s from the Rocket Jump Film School.
This was a surprisingly enlightening talk by the CEO of Uber (not a sales pitch). Worth a cup of coffee, enjoy.
It’s incredibly sad to hear about the passing of Fergus McGovern, he was only TWO years older than me! My first car was actually his own personal car, he gave it to me when I made a game for him.
Fergus was the head of Probe Software in Croydon, England. I had decided to start my own company (in my mother’s living room) and he gave me a steady flow of exciting projects to work on, including the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (they didn’t use the Ninja word in the UK), which gave me my first #1 video game. He also introduced me to Nick Bruty, one of the best artists in the industry and we made endless games together.
Fergus taught me to keep jumping hurdles no matter how challenging things would get. He believed we could do anything and so we believed it too. He gave me projects on Sinclair Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Sega Genesis, Commodore Amiga and Atari ST.
He knew so many people in the industry, and it’s interesting to see just how many had close personal relationships with him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a strong reaction to someone passing in the video game business.
He’s a real loss and sadly this keeps happening now as we all get older.
I had to post something as I’ve been thinking about him all day. I spent so much time with him, and am really sad that the last dinner we had together, is the last dinner we will ever have together.
Thanks Ferg.
I keep getting asked if I believe in Climate Change. The timing is excellent as Al Gore just did an update on where we are actually at now.
Super excited to get my new Arduboy from Kickstarter. Besides being incredibly cool I think it will be amazing for education (future game coders and Arduino fans.)
This was a pretty impressive demo at TED this year.
