An Office Tour in Pieces
I’ve been experimenting as a TikTok (and YouTube Shorts) creator. Let me explain. I recently shot a home office tour (thanks to my daughter Molly who was my camera operator) but when I started to edit it I just didn’t love it. I might still release it, but what I was inspired to do instead was to make a bunch of little videos showing off one specific thing in my office rather than a long video going over everything at a high level.

Alexa, Lets Play Jeopardy!
I’ve been playing around with my new Amazon Echo and writing up some “Skills” for the Amazon Alexa voice assistant and so far so good! What I’ve got above is a link to a YouTube video I did demoing a “Jeopardy” skill.
