In this episode, we chat Dungeons & Dragons community events in Nanaimo, Crit & Fumble, the launch of Vinecoin, and its implications for the future of Vine and social media. We also collectively analyze the advantages and challenges of using smart tools like Warp, an intelligent terminal, and DeepSeek, an open-source AI model. We also quickly touch on Blue Sky, an alternative social network to Twitter (different, but same same), and Dropbox’s unique brand guidelines site. We wrap by reviewing Shawns experience with the Work Louder Nomad keyboard (spoiler, it’s not good).
