It’s Wednesday, which means we’re upon another build stream day! (11am ET on Twitch and YouTube). Still not 100% sure what I’ll be building today. It’s a bit of a weird week, time-wise. I plan builds for the month ……
Yes, this again. Slowly but surely, Mastodon is becoming my sole social media platform, and it feels good. I’m still active on Instagram because I must be (unfortunately Pixelfed isn’t quite there yet, but I’ll probably jump on board that…
Happy Monday y’all! We recorded Episode 2 of Pixels and Puppets on Friday and hopefully it will make your work commute a little more bearable. Please do share around, word of mouth is our only real way of reaching people.……

Being a former web developer and seeing the horrific (and unnecessary) layoffs in the tech industry lately, I’m constantly reminded how lucky I am to have stumbled into puppet building as a viable career option. If you’re curious how I…
Generally speaking I try to keep these blogs on an upbeat tone, but today we’re going to talk about a little something that, as the kids say, “really grinds my gears”. In the end I hope it will provide insight.……
One of our ideas for Pixels and Puppets is we’re taking a more contemplative approach, rather than just trying to be a nerd news firehose. None of us are journalists, we’re just ordinary folks, so we shouldn’t pretend we’re “covering”…
So, about those Frankie Play streams… As mentioned on yesterday’s blog, the Frankie Play streams tend to be our least-viewed content, and that’s why I’m having a re-think about them and moving them down the priority list. However yesterday on…
It’s Wednesday, which means build stream day, (11am ET on Twitch and YouTube), which means at the top of my brain is usually metrics. How many people will watch today? How many views will the VoD get, and so ……
