I love Tolkien, I love audio, I love tech. I mixed two of those together to make the Dio Node multi-room speakers. I kept the other one for myself ;)

@MarvelStrikeF My game also suddenly just stuck forever at 7% load today

Wow this is exciting. Dio achieved the Pinnacle Selection Award from AndroidGuys - their "Best In Class" award for the products they review. Still pinching myself with all of this positive and *organic* publicity.

It's exciting to see big outlets like @appleinsider comparing Dio to industry giants like HomePod and find that we still hold our own. I decided to write some thoughts on their concerns about our price and lack of stereo pairing -

@AravSrinivas @AravSrinivas @RussellCanfield - CEO of @DioTechnologies here. This is literally the reason our company exists. If this is for real then let's chat!

@BayAreaClipper @sidetalkSF Hmm that’s strange, I still can’t add money to it on my apple wallet on iOS

So honored to be featured in How to Talk to High Achievers About Anything. I hope this episode helps encourage other brown and black founders to keep going despite the imposter syndrome!

@Uber Why is it that even when I have all my notifications turned off in the app, you still send me marketing notifications like this?

For those who wanted to hear me talk about Dio live, I’ll be on Home Gadget Geeks podcast with @jcollison tomorrow (well, Thursday) @ 6pm PT!

@_154831 And I’m convinced that people who start internet arguments as a way to validate their own intellect are also extremely stupid

I had the chance to be on another podcast today: the IT Business Podcast. If you ever wanted to hear me talk about my journey building up Dio, especially as a self-funded endeavor while balancing my full time career, you should check it out!

For those interested in hearing a 20-something's completely unqualified opinion on technology's impact on the human experience and the outdoors, here's a podcast I was on recently :)

It was fun chatting about how my drummer background helped me start Dio. Thanks for profiling me @AdventuresSync

We hit 100% today!! This means we’re officially giving Dio Node the green light for production. The good news is we are STILL running the 17% off Indiegogo Early Bird discount for the rest of the month, so spread the word and get your orders in!

Interested in seeing the Dio Nodes in action? I'll be doing a popup at Backyard Brew in #paloalto and basically DJing for the whole day. Come hang out with me for some good beats and good coffee :) #speakers #music #coffee #dionode

Dio's Indiegogo campaign is now live!

Today is the Pi Solstice, the longest time of year that people spend saying numbers instead of words. Merry Pi Solstice everyone! #PiDay

@Sean_M0 @alex I like to practice the “would I hold the same opinion if I were born differently” test. If I were born to a Ukrainian, Russian, conservative, or liberal family, I’d like to think I still wouldn’t be fine with a country hostilely taking over another. And you shouldn’t be too.

Is it bad that, after watching @TheCloneWars, I actually admire Palpatine a little?
