An animated Get-Out-The-Vote TikTok video for Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign reminding Americans in 13 states that they need to register to vote by October 7th, 2024 to be able to vote on November 5th.

I spent the final three months of the 2024 election cycle helping an army of volunteers make meme videos and teaching them how to use the campaign’s online calling/texting system as a Moderator in the campaign’s virtual headquarters on Discord.

This Facebook ad promoting affordable childcare and universal preschool was part of a micro-targeted social media ad campaign for US Congressional candidate from Ohio Nina Turner.

Though her political campaign was unsuccessful, this ad campaign provided data that helped verify that the infamous earlier “success” of Cambridge Analytica’s micro-targeted 2016 ad campaign for Donald Trump and its part in his victory was greatly exaggerated.

I have helped launch podcasts, TV shows, and even a channel or two. I’ve covered more tech products and video game launches than I can remember. But I’ve only ever launched one meat snack.

This ad, produced for Walmart, was part of a market test featuring Jack Link’s Big Dippers meat snacks. The Big Dippers line was an industry-first innovation – meat strips and sticks paired with conveniently packaged dipping sauces. Sadly, America wasn’t ready for dippable meat.

Tomb Raider is a classic game series for a reason.

This game is not that reason.

The sixth Tomb Raider game – the last game the original developers completed – takes Laura to the distant, exotic wilderness of… Paris, where she fights generic goons, middle-aged prostitutes, and your attempts to control her.

All that made for a game that was terrible to play, but tremendous fun to review.

Scam School is the show that proves that while magic can’t make someone fall in love with you, it can make them buy you a drink.

These were fun to shoot. Once every three months, a spiky-haired magician from Austin, Texas would show up in San Francisco, and I would convince three bars to let us film in them for free. We’d bang out five episodes a night, using magic tricks and logic puzzles to make inebriated strangers look silly on camera.
