    The Abandoned Howard Johnson’s

    We have an early flight at an airport about an hour from home, so we got a hotel room last night. It was easy to find the place; it’s next door to the abandoned Howard Johnson’s.

    Antigua and Barbuda

    Heading off to a small island for a week with my wife for our anniversary. This’ll be our first trip without the kids in a long time. I’m really looking forward to doing nothing on a picturesque beach with a fancy drink and a book.

    Scale in Tilt Brush

    Since discovering the ability to scale, pan, and rotate in 3D space, Tilt Brush has become an obsession.

Starting small, I created a little campsite (complete with pillow, blanket, and lantern inside the tent), and then zoomed out […]
