  • The Mandelbrot Set

    The Mandelbrot Set is a curiosity in mathematics, and it is visually stunning to see.  What makes the Mandelbrot Set so beautiful is that you can zoom in infinitely and the patterns just repeat over and over again.  It makes you wonder if these types of patterns happen throughout the universe and beyond...

    I haven't done a podcast in a while, so I'm just making one impromptu in order to make a few notes about my current projects so I can listen back later while I'm at work.

  • Existentialism, (A Conversation with AI)

    I've spent a considerable amount of time researching and trying to wrap my head around the concept of existentialism.  I've made this podcast in order to sort of recap a few of the highlights I've run across in my own thinking on the subject.  Along with the idea of infinite regression, it's a foundational concept into some other topics I intend to explore with anyone interested in learning these ideas, and I hope that it may be of some use to someone, as it has been for me.  Enjoy!

  • Turtles All the Way Down (Infinite Regression)

    I'm playing with the idea of a format, where I go over various topics I've been looking into over the week, from Finance and News, to philosophy, science, and AI.  Just basically riffing off of whatever subjects I've been into.  Some of them I've been interested in for quite sometime, so I'll try to catch any listeners up to speed whenever possible.  Otherwise, just tying to see where the boat takes me.  Thanks for participating!

  • Finally on the Right Course

    I’ve recorded this podcast mostly in order to hear how I sound after having my teeth pulled out a couple of months ago.  I’m also including some cinematic soundtracks that I may use later in my animations.  This way, I can listen back for multiple purposes at the same time.  If you are lucky enough to be listening to this, Congratulations, you are part of a very elite and exclusive group.  You are witnessing the very early days of a studio business that has no time horizon. (While I’m alive… we should have a while :) Thanks for joining me in this very early part of this journey.
