I build things: some are serious, some are fun. The fun ones are always more enjoyable to build. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#StarWars & #StarTrek ships in an epic space battle. As a kid, I imagined the lasers, sounds and #vfx . Now with #MR #AR #XR gaming, I can focus on the story and battle while recording the action! Made with @unitygames & @LightshipAR #indiegame #BuildingInPublic cc @Scobleizer

Today I went to the @theAllinAI event for #NYTechWeek : "Startup to IPO Candidate in 3 Years: The Timeline Most Founders Don't Know" It was an amazing session. If you missed it, sorry! You shoulda been there. :)

[Tom Ortega @LordBron]

Hey @theAllinAI, can you post your LinkedIn for your company, Annabelle and Renuka? Trying to tag all 3 in my LinkedIn post. Thanks!

Total missed opportunity to give this song a World of Warcraft type treatment for GDC. LOL

Proud to be the 31st 😎 on @BackerKit for The Black Sari. https://t.co/1xeNIBvKcY

Day 2 of @Techweek_ . My first session is “Revenge of the Humans” led by @ChrisHeckart .

She’s pointing out where AI falls short and where humans excel. Put the two together and productivity increases.

I like her point that AI won’t over, but rather will be our best helpers.

Plus picturesque opportunities like this.

Hey all you in #SF for @Techweek_ by @a16z . Don’t forget, apart from feeding your brains knowledge, you gotta feed you body some of SF’s world famous foods like a soup bowl from @BoudinSFWharf on Fisherman’s Wharf.

Heed the message in the video!

This is a reminder for all founders attending @Techweek_ SF. No matter how iconic or popular a service is, everyone needs help and a lift at some point. So, don’t be ashamed to be vulnerable and ask for help as a startup. We’re all here to lift each other up. #99.9999%Uptime

“How to Raise a Round” event just wrapped up and it was amazing. If you were there with me to kickoff @Techweek_ SF, then you know what I mean. Props go to @LindseyMignano for dropping the best pearl of wisdom around converting a prevention question into a promotion answer. 🙇‍♂️

[Tom Ortega @LordBron]

So much wisdom being shared by @AntWilson and @t_blom at #SupabaseSelect If you missed it, find a long video of it.

Sugu Sougoumarane throwing done some super nerdy technical bits @supabase conference. He says that DBs often force companies to limit new features. He says Multigres will make that obsolete. Good thing I’m on supabase then!

@john__olson I caught up on my fast food. 😂

[Tom Ortega @LordBron]

My west coast return (for 18 days) begins!! Now, what to eat? 😂🍖🌮

[Tom Ortega @LordBron]

Thanks @dennisdrummond for adding to the soundtrack of my layover in Nashville (@visitmusiccity) Live music has an energy that’s hard to beat.

[Tom Ortega @LordBron]

Never change, @visitmusiccity. Never change!

Gotta love BBQ and live music at 8 am on a weekday. Too bad all I get to see of Nashville is the airport today.

@loriberenberg This is how I built a more intuitive way to interact with 3D AR content on a 2D surface (phone screen). If I was more "pro" with regard to 3D design, I’d have X, Y, Z axes like every other app and my users would be lost. LOL

[Tom Ortega @LordBron]

@andrewchen Looking forward to seeing you at TechWeek events. I'll be at both LA and SF. You? Will there be open @speedrun events like the one in NYC? I don't think I saw any for either weeks.

[Tom Ortega @LordBron]

@KatiaAmeri @andrewchen Coming from NYC to do a two week tour of SF and LA @Techweek_ , I’ll be using a new version of my Remixing Reality app to make cool AR content at these @Techweek_ events! I’ll post them here for all of twitter to enjoy. :)

[Tom Ortega @LordBron]

Remixing Reality is proudly made with @supabase. For that reason, I’m heading to SF this week for their first ever user conference, Select. You should be using it, if not, come and learn why you should. :) https://t.co/dsszX3nKRo

Just had the brand new French Toast at @TARTINERY in Greenwich Village and it was amazing. Dare I say best in the city?

Sorry, no pics. I ate it too fast! 😋
