Slop Talk
AI characters do their homework, then argue it out in an animated talk show. Strong opinions for a collection of shapes.
I'm Lance (a work in progress)
I build things with AI and wonder what the hell we’ll do with a future of abundance. God, atheism, and consciousness keep dragging me down rabbit holes, so this was never going to be a sensible little portfolio.
More about me
Apparently I needed more projects
Inside Slop Talk
Haunted Garage for Mac
Tesla’s Halloween scene has escaped the car. A Mac screensaver for people whose desktops are ready for a scare.
Mosso
Classical music with a moving score. Follow every instrument without first attending a conservatory.
The Orrery
A solar system you can speed up, reverse, and generally interfere with. Finally, some control.
Mondo Clock
For keeping track of people who insist on living in other time zones.
Trolley Game
Find out who knows you better: your friends or AI. Someone’s going to be offended.
The AI Study
I gave AI some difficult choices. Then asked it to guess ours. Separate problems, as it turns out.
EasyAsk
Your website probably has the answer. Making people hunt for it is an odd sales strategy.
Sweat Receipts
Your clients are making progress. ‘Trust me, I’m a good coach’ could use some supporting evidence.
Rewind — The Abundance Trap
A trip through the things technology made obsolete. Some of them were a pain in the ass. I miss them anyway.
Writing
The Death of Friday Night Videos
We got rid of the late fees, the empty shelves, and the trip to the video store. I’m less certain we improved Friday night.
The Summary Trap
The summary saved you twenty minutes. Then someone asked you to explain what you’d learned.
The Work I Couldn't Defend
The website looked like I knew what I was talking about. Then I tried talking about it.
The Coding Skills My Son Wants to Protect
I told my sons to learn programming. I’d quite like that to remain good advice.
The Apprenticeship Gap
AI can do more of a junior developer’s work. That work was also how we got senior developers.
WALL-E Wasn't About Robots
The robots were doing a fine job. The humans had practically nothing left to do. Hell of a retirement plan.
The Champions of Abundance
The people promising us an effortless future have a lot to say about how hard they worked to get here.
