We Gather Around to Hear the Story
The story to tell tonight started with a kid and a dream to be on camera. That dream bounced around like a pinball and in true ball is wild fashion landed in software engineering thanks to early grade classes to learn to program video games. But the story, like all good stories, has some twists. That dream to be on camera never truly faded, just morphed like a pinball smacked by a sling kicker. The stories, from short fiction and poems to articles for a publication took to the Web. However, maintaining web pages is boring <webmaster>HEY NOW!</webmaster> but that is not this story. While the story isn’t finished many chapters have already been written.
tl;dr
- Burned by the corporate world
- Continue the quest for cinematic visuals
- Incorporate history to personalize the brand
- Mentoring tech knowledge is fullfilling
- ADHD is a great power but with great responsibility
- Ensure the story teller has the most fun

Coin operated gaming are the roots of generation X. It's how we learned the value of a quarter and why this particular coin still holds a special value beyond just twenty-five cents. Forget the pool tables or the dart boards, these are the nostalgia items that fill our game rooms. Tech is far beyond sprites and side scrollers, now the experience includes apps on our phones and embraces an eco-system. Then engineers come along and ruin everything! Oh look there are so many acheivements no one is collecting! Oh so many people aren't making a game popular! But wow this video was so much fun to create. Oh the fact checking and talking to the small group of rabid players (wait that's a good thing.)
Generation ADHD
It’s a thing! Movement that stimulates the brain, fast action and constant consumption of audio and visuals keeps the creative juices flowing. It is a curse right up there with Lycanthropy. And yet, our own community of software people built infrastructure that directly promotes and flat out encourages short attention spans. Or, what if it is not a curse. What if a creation can be made that looks into a real world question partnered with an amazing editor that decides to rapid fire supporting evidence? People with ADHD building for people with ADHD. This appears to be the format of the most successful video that was simply a product of gathering personal education into a new venture. What if the reality is you're beaten down by those who dare say you have a curse are actually trying exert authority to hide that it really is a super power? When in a town full of subordination, be the werewolf.
Zone In, Geek Out
The zone channel was born from days gone by as a Pin Game Journal contributor. Thank you pinball community but now it's time to join all things vintage, tech gaming and fun into one big Geekdom. Gaming while learning to program in BASIC on both the Texas Instrument TI-99 and even better, the Commodore 64 is a thing that happened. The days when Vibe Coding meant punk rock was playing while building don't have to be lost to the mists of time. Plus some conventions are better than others and one reason to get lost in the zone is to just kick back and have fun. Conventions on the road in other towns? Perfect! Who doesn't love late night 'Trippin after dark? Or is that the main reason to Geek Out? If you're not zoned in, it shall remain a mystery.
From Magazine Print to IRL - let's get lost in the zone on YouTube
The OGs Plus Newbies Unite
We need Arcades back! Retro tech had it right forcing us to gather in one place. The days we nerded out about our gadgets and consoles like a College Physics Lab gone wrong. Then at the end of the day all we wanted to do was play games. Sound about right? Want in?

When there isn't code all over the paws a moment is set aside to collaborate on our channel. We have content creation capabilities. That component shouldn't feel left out. How about a virtual warm, fuzzy hug that can be done with a like and subscribe? That's the only hint you get in this section.
