GapDB: coordinating agents without a database universe
GapDB gives concurrent local agents a small coordination layer for state, authority, revisions and explicit durability, without importing an entire database universe.
The dangers of triangles: a satire
A satirical warning about the three-pointed menace, complete with a plan to measure your exposure to dangerous triangles.

Questioning randomness: the making of a Dada film
Process notes for a Dada film about randomness, made with animation, sound, storyboarding and image-editing tools.
