A snapshot of the shows, games, and shenanigans currently eating my brain — so when someone asks “what are you working on these days?” I have somewhere to point.
Gnome is my fast-GIF-sharing app, built for one very specific problem: I want to paste an animated GIF into Slack/Messages/email right now, and I do not want to open a browser to do it. Hit a keyboard shortcut (or, on iPhone, open the app), search a GIF, tap it — it’s on your clipboard, ready to paste wherever you were typing. Joke saved. World improved.
Gnome indexes a GIF library and uses Apple’s built-in vision tech to read the text inside the GIFs, so you can search for “don’t call me Shirley” and actually find the Airplane GIF. The Mac app is $7, unlocked forever; the iOS version just landed in the App Store.
(Why “Gnome”? Because that’s how I pronounce the “G” in “GIF.”)
I’m stepping in on lead vocals for a night with Kimme’s Project at Local’s Bar & Grill in Manalapan, NJ. Your favorite classic rock, plus songs from the 80s and 90s. Don’t miss it.
AC Slater lives in your Mac’s menu bar and drives your Sensibo-equipped air conditioner — power, mode, temperature, fan, swing, light — without making you pick up your phone and tap through an app.
It talks straight to Sensibo’s API with no middleman: your key stays on your Mac, and I run no server. (And yes, it’s named after the Saved by the Bell character — the app controls your AC, so I’m only human.)
Playhouse 22 in East Brunswick, NJ is putting up the Alanis Morissette / Diablo Cody musical — and I scored the role of the one adult guy in the cast: Steve Healy, the dad. It is the role I was born to play, in that I am also a dad.
The show is funny, heavy, beautiful, and has a soundtrack full of many bangers you already love. Come see it, then come find me in the lobby so that you can see exactly how much makeup I was wearing.
I’m on the roster at ComedySportz Jersey Shore in Ocean Grove, performing roughly twice a month. It’s short-form improv as a competitive sport — family-friendly, refereed, and (legally) the most fun you can have on a Saturday night for under $25.
I’m still actively working on Lex.Games and Cryptograms — those puzzles aren’t going to ship themselves — but the project that has me bouncing in my chair right now is my newest game, Tile & Error.
Swap tiles, build words, score big. There’s a steady stream of improvements in flight, and every one of them somehow makes the game more fun, which is a metric I am willing to defend in a court of law.
