Without it, I’d have never found my way.

I taught there, too, founding its game design program curriculum, helping my fellow weirdos find their ways.

You probably know about Lupita Nyong’o, Liev Schreiber, maybe Ken Burns or Lee Smolin.

As a student, I worked on computer interfaces that Apple & Samsung/LG integrated into the interface you’re using now. I had to testify about it, actually.

It was supposed to be pedagogical R&D, the cutting edge of how young adults learn to become wise and effective stewards of the world.

It was to be supported by Amherst, Mt. Holyoke, Smith, and UMass’s budgets, so they could take what Hampshire learned and develop their programs with those lessons.

I got to make art about ALife. I got to learn about Jean Piaget and how humans learn through play.

I got to play roleplaying games with Rod Roddenberry.

I got to stay up for days on end working on software just to see what software could do.
