We had an Omnimax theatre in Vancouver, BC, and I always loved going to it as a kid. The little introduction before any feature was a highlight where they showed off the capabilities and turned on the lights behind the screen at each speake

I have some personal projects for which I use a Terraform stack to build out a CodeBuild-based pipeline. It was very convenient to create a CodeCommit repo because all of the access could be defined via IAM without the need for any Github P

DESQview for DOS was an amazing way to add some multi-tasking capabilities into an otherwise limited environment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DESQview

Over the pandemic, I used this and OBS with a USB HDMI capture dongle attached to my Nintendo Switch to host Jackbox Party Pack nights with friends over Zoom. Such a great tool!

I've been using Jets for a small project, and it's mostly been great. Coming from a Rails background, it was a very quick way to get a bunch of stuff running without any ongoing costs or babysitting. The documentation is pretty go
