They said you can have 15% [...]

You know how you are supposed to reapply sunscreen every two hours when you are out swimming?
The Skin Cancer Foundation states “reapplication of sunscreen is just as important as putting it on in the first place” and advises to “reapply the same amount every two hours.”
I have very infrequently abided by this recommendation. One of my [...]

Last weekend was the second ever Vientianale Film Festival, an event in Vientiane, Laos that showcases local film makers.
I created the short film Half Cultured, which is a relatively objective contrast of Lao culture vs. American culture.

Today we made a music video for Nashville-based recording artist Trent Dabbs.

We got two games by Goliath Games with fun names. Wow, rhyming sentence!
Pop the Pig is a game in which you feed a pig plastic burgers. With each burger you push down on the top of his head a number of times, which makes his stomach inflate.
When the stomach reaches capacity, his belt pops [...]
