Testing the waters with Base44
I am not super big on AI, but I have used it from time to time for different projects, including a couple of puppet videos. I am a bit leery of it, as it can provide us with too big of a “shortcut” for things that should require human ingenuity.I had heard about a web…
Knowledgebase is coming soon
Tonight I added a ticketing system to the website, so it is now possible to communicate with me about the Show Runner app from directly inside this website. Click “Open a Ticket,” fill out the form that’s presented, and then submit. I will respond back to you from within the website, too. I think that…

For example, an anthology of puppet videos which told an interwoven story produced by different creators and submitted to me. There just wasn’t an easy way to pull everything together and present…
Why I built Hexfield
I wanted to address the reasons why I built a news curating application. We do not consume news today in the same way that we once did one or two decades ago. It used to be that we relied mainly on newspapers, radio, and television for our news. We learned about news when publishers or…
Changelog 3/22/2026
This weekend, I made a couple of significant changes that are worth noting: As of right now I’ve exhausted my credits for the month, and am waiting until April before making any additional changes.
