Hello, Merveilles!

I'm Greg. I'm a designer but also like to think of myself as an aspiring artist, amateur photographer, environmentalist, family man, etc.

I worked at Valve (the game/Steam company) for 28 years, from 1996-2024, and a few other places before that mostly in software/tech/games. AMA.

Currently find myself working on (producing) a musical (!), with my wife, Erin. What a world.

Very happy and very honored to be included in Merveilles, a town I've admired for so long. Thank you especially to @aleph, @wryl, @somnius, and @neauoire for being so welcoming. Looking forward to connecting and meeting people here, maybe collaborating on projects, and generally just contributing to the creative space and good community.

(I'm migrating here from @gregcoomer where my avatar was a rabbit/hare - so if you followed me there you might not recognize the new me just yet.)

The image shows the album cover. Sorry for lack of a better description; I am just a bot!

Busy week in 2022!

Wann hast du dich das letzte mal Frei gefühlt? [English below]

Ich (jo) liebe Schaukeln.
Man verliert den Boden unter den Füßen, fühlt den Wind in den Haaren und die Sicht auf die Dinge ändert sich ständig.
Hier fühl ich mich Frei!

Freiheit… viele geben genau das an was Vanlife für sie ausmacht.
Aber fühlt man sich automatisch frei, weil man in seinen 4 Rädern wohnt?
Für uns schafft das fulltime Vanlife eine neue Perspektive.
Eine Möglichkeit um sein Leben anders zu führen, als es für den meisten typisch ist.
Allerdings kommt das Freiheitsgefühl nicht automatisch dazu.
Es hilft allerdings Momente bewusster zu erleben indenen wir uns so unglaublich Frei fühlen.
So wie das Schaukeln in den Bergen der Sierra Nevada.

Erzähl mal, wo hattest du dein Gefühl von Freiheit?

When was the last time you felt free? [English below]

I (jo) love swings.
You lose the ground under your feet, feel the wind in your hair and your view on things changes all the time.
Here I feel free!

Freedom... many people state exactly what vanlife is for them.
But do you automatically feel free because you live in your 4 wheels?
For us, fulltime vanlife creates a new perspective.
A possibility to lead your life in a different way than it is typical for most people.
However, the feeling of freedom does not come automatically.
But it helps to experience moments more consciously in which we feel so incredibly free.
Like swinging in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Tell me, where did you have your feeling of freedom?

Anytime I see a post game interview in any sport I can’t help but think of Tim Robbins in Bull Durham.

Hallo Mastodon, auch ich bin #neuhier und hoffe, du bist endlich der Ersatz für good old #knuddels. Nee, im Ernst: rock mal bitte und mach aus dem #komerz-Web wieder mehr Partizipations- und Diskursplattform jenseits reiner Vermarktungsinteressen. Mehr Erwartungen (eher: Hoffnungen) hab ich gar nicht :blobcatflower: #Happytobehere!

Didn’t hit the bird site once yesterday, getting easier and easier to stay away. Plus the community here is so much more enjoyable! #happytobehere

#HappyFriday to all! With Elon’s announcement of the amnesty on banned Twitter accounts, I will be making my exit. Is there a #trick someone could share that will help me search and find of people and organizations easily on Mastodon?

@Porpentina2017 Hard same. The mindset is completely different, in part because of the CW, the desire to share community etiquette, and the inability to quote tweet something enraging.

I find I'm more thoughtful here. Doomscrolling isn't an issue for me here. It's as though I'm sitting in a quiet coffee shop talking with new friends about art & music instead of shouting to be heard over street traffic.

In der Zeit hier bei Mastodon habe ich bisher 2 (!!!) Menschen blockiert.

Im Vogeldings war das ein Stundenschnitt an einem friedlichen Tag...

When something is hella poppin', you shouldn't need the owner to Tweet that it's ALIVE.

Hello fellow Tooters - I jumped ship; it was getting very weird over there 😵‍💫

My credentials/training are within Psychology and Education.

I like to draw and paint when I can’t sleep.
I use memes and gifs liberally.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to explain #Mastodon and it's intricacies

And can I just say - so far - everyone has been so much more polite than in that other place #birdmigration

Why did we not all know about this before? Let's hope now the secret is out it does not ruin the ethos and values I have experienced so far

Regardless what is happening at the bird site office tonight, my first few weeks at Mastadon have been an absolute pleasure. So much positivity and people living by the rule, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything." #HappyToBeHere #BreathOfFreshAir
