In episode 24 we talk about what we've been up to since the last season1.Creativity isn't just painting; it's any form of making. Building in Minecraft, sewing, even a self-development practice like running it's all creative.2.Like Caylee Grey says more than zero is enough. Tiny efforts beat perfection. Your momentum can be gentle. You don't have to strong arm yourself. 3.Protect your private practices. Teaching and public work can drain, so keep a space where it's just you and the sketchbook to keep your well full 4.Prompts and challenges, are inspiration or permissions, not obligation. Feel free to repeat themes. Skip days, change your mind, keep it fun or make your own challenge 5. Resist sameness and curation. Let your art be messy, personal, specific to you. The call to action is make shitty art.Have questions or topic suggestions? Write to us at notarealartistpodcast@gmail.com, Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Send us a textWhat if youth esports had the same structure, safety, and upward path as Little League or AAU? We sit down with Valhallan Esports' Morris Jackson to unpack how he went from owning a single arena to acquiring the entire brand and relocating HQ to Las Vegas—transforming a scattered scene into a true pipeline for kids, parents, schools, and colleges. From 23 locations across 12 states to an online platform that removes geography as a barrier, Morris lays out a plan to make Valhallan a destination where young gamers train, compete, and grow with purpose.We get practical about what parents really want to know: how to keep kids safe, how to make gaming productive, and how to navigate a space that now includes scholarships and academic tracks. Morris connects specific games to real skills—Rainbow Six Siege to cybersecurity, Minecraft to engineering and systems thinking—and explains how monitored communities, age tiers, and coaching turn screen time into skill time. We also explore how colleges like Boise State and Syracuse are investing, why UNLV's Cyber Week matters, and how scholarships are expanding fast.Las Vegas emerges as the perfect hub: HyperX Arena, global access, and a city that embraces innovation. Morris shares why Valhallan is moving to a corporate‑led model for consistency and quality, how online demand will guide future arena placements, and why this youth‑first focus can capture meaningful share in a $500B ecosystem. He closes with candid, hard‑won advice for entrepreneurs about stretching beyond comfort zones and refusing to let fear set the limits. If you care about kids, education, esports, or building a brand with real community impact, this conversation will stick.Enjoy the episode?

Vibe coding is a developer's dream, but in the enterprise, it can be a nightmare of risk and shadow IT. So how do you saddle the 'wild horse' of modern AI development? Dan Fernandez, VP of Product Management, Developer Services at Salesforce, joins the conversation to share the answer: a new category his team is pioneering called Enterprise Vibe Coding. This discussion reveals how to move beyond flashy greenfield AI demos and build for the reality of most enterprises, where the goal is to safely reuse existing systems, not reinvent them from scratch.Dan breaks down the specific guardrails Salesforce has built, from sandboxed environments for safe testing to automated "quality gates" that act as a bouncer for both human and AI-generated code. He shares the powerful lesson that building customer trust through policies like zero data retention is more important than any single feature. He explains why the real work of enterprise AI is more like secure "plumbing"—connecting the hardened systems you already have. This is an essential guide for any leader looking to apply the speed of AI to the complex reality of enterprise software.Get the guide: AI productivity guide for engineering leadersFollow the hosts:Follow BenFollow AndrewFollow today's guest(s):Unleash Your Innovation with Agentforce Vibes: Vibe Coding for the EnterpriseLearn more about Salesforce for Developers: developer.salesforce.comSalesforce Extensions for VS Code: VS Code MarketplaceSalesforce Code Builder: Learn more about the zero-install IDEConnect with Dan Fernandez: LinkedInReferenced in today's show:Future of tech leadership survey report 2025 - Riviera PartnersStop Avoiding Politics – Terrible Software Agentic Commerce I built ChatGPT with Minecraft redstone!Support the show: Subscribe to our Substack Leave us a review Subscribe on YouTube Follow us on Twitter or LinkedIn Offers: Learn about Continuous Merge with gitStream Get your DORA Metrics free forever

Education On Fire - Sharing creative and inspiring learning in our schools
Matt Dalio dreams of a world in which every kid has the resources to shape their own technology instead of being shaped by it.In 2011, he founded Endless which aims to provide universal access to technology and equal opportunities to succeed in the digital world by tackling three key challenges.Endless is harnessing the power of modern games to introduce youth to 21st Century skills like coding and design. Second, it is addressing the internet gap by creating technology that enables youth anywhere to have access to basic educational resources. And lastly, Endless is building a “pay as you go” laptop program making it so that billions more people can afford a computer.Collectively these unlock educational opportunities that allow everyone to be a creatorTakeaways: The average child dedicates approximately 10,000 hours to playing video games by the time they complete their education, an astonishing figure that underscores the pervasiveness of gaming in youth culture. In the last fifteen years, a significant trend in the gaming industry has been the shift towards creation, with platforms like Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite leading the way in empowering users to engage in content generation. The concept of transforming players into creators is pivotal; through this transition, youths acquire essential software development skills tailored for an increasingly digital, knowledge-based economy. Endless Studios aims to provide scalable educational solutions that are both affordable and accessible, particularly in communities with limited access to qualified educators, thereby breaking down financial barriers to learning. Feedback, especially peer feedback, plays a critical role in the learning process by providing valuable insights and support without the traditional costs associated with formal education. The future workforce will largely consist of individuals who possess robust digital skills, which are essential for navigating the complexities of an AI-driven world, making it imperative to equip youth with these competencies. www.endlessstudios.comShow Sponsor – National Association for Primary Education (NAPE)https://nape.org.uk/

La secta extremista 764 no se detuvo en Roblox y Minecraft. Con el tiempo, nacieron subgrupos como MYK, No Lives Matter y Harm Nation, que llevaron la manipulación y el control psicológico a otro nivel. Entre sus miembros destacan adolescentes como Anthony Kierre Cutler y Kyle Spitz, acusados de influir en menores para que se dañaran en directo. También se conoció el caso de Samuel Harvey, víctima de estas redes, que fue empujado hasta perder la vida frente a la cámara.En este vídeo de Terrores Criminales analizamos cómo operaban estos subgrupos, qué los hacía tan peligrosos y por qué se convirtieron en uno de los casos más escalofriantes de la historia de internet.

Did you know you can hold a podcast in your off hand? Welcome to the 200th and (kind of) final episode of NOCLIP! With it being both the 200th episode and our tenth anniversary, we figured now would be as good a time as any to finally play Minecraft, one of the most popular and the best selling game of all time, which neither of us had actually played before. Minecraft popularized the previously niche genre of survival games, captivated a huge number of people, and to some degree altered the landscape of online content creation, all while being a procedurally generated game full of blocks created predominately by one guy. Reputation of that one guy aside, it's impressive what this once small game accomplished and the culture it developed. The simplicity of its design allows for more complexity in its systems, with hundreds (probably? Thousands maybe?) of items to craft and a huge world to plumb for resources. The game is also very self-directed, allowing for a lot of player creativity if it does leave you a little directionless at times. The world is equal parts hostile and enticing due to unforgiving enemy spawns and procedural generation, so it is up to the player to determine where and how far they want to go given their current gear and needs. We're going to be talking about the ubiquity of Minecraft in modern culture, the ups and downs of the open nature of the game, and how Minecraft is about two inputs away from a dissociative experience. Thank you for listening this week and for the last, shockingly, ten years. Minecraft is probably the biggest milestone type game we haven't covered yet, and for those of you who have been playing this game for a decade or more, we probably only embarrassingly scratched the surface, so be sure to let us know in the comments or over on our Discord. We have a lot of changes coming soon, the biggest of which is that we are changing the name of the podcast (same great taste though, we aren't changing the format or the contents), so keep an eye on things and don't be shocked when elements of our branding change. Additionally, to celebrate both occasions, we have released a list of my top 100 games of all time, something I've personally wanted to do since I was a kid, so give that a read here (splattershot.pro/top100) if you're interested! Next time, and for the first episode of Describing the Skybox, we're going to be talking about Mouthwashing to kick off the Halloween season! We hope you'll join us then.

Pixels and Parables: Can Gaming Be Good? With Guests Tom Clarke and Andy GearsIn this episode, Ed and Amy dive into a conversation many Christian parents are asking: “What do we do about gaming?” Is it a waste of time? Is it dangerous? Or could there be something good buried under the pixels?They're joined by two guests who actually love games—Andy, a game developer who's created a Bible-based adventure game (The Serpent and the Seed), and Tom, a dad of three who's spent years figuring out how to enjoy gaming with his kids, not just against it.Together, they explore:• How gaming can be more than a screen-time battle• Why playing with your kids might change the game• How to set boundaries with grace, not guilt• And whether a co-op Minecraft session can teach us about Jesus (spoiler: maybe it can)This episode isn't about being for or against games. It's about discipling our children in a digital world, learning to enter their world like Jesus enters ours, and finding gospel moments—even between rounds of Fortnite.Episode Links:Listen to "Gaming for God":https://www.buzzsprout.com/237067/episodes/9869948Gaming for God Article: https://www.faithinkids.org/article/gaming-for-god-an-introduction-to-video-gaming-for-parents/The Serpent & The Seed Game:https://discipleship.tech/serpentseedgame/People:Andy Geers - Andy is the CEO of Discipleship Tech, the creator of PrayerMate and Co-founder of Kingdom Code.

We have a big announcement: Tumble en Español is returning on September 25th! This is a rebroadcast of an episode of Tumble from last season. If you can't wait to hear the Spanish-language version, just go subscribe to Tumble en Español wherever you get your podcasts. Why are there so many axolotls in fishtanks, and so few in the wild? That's what Maximiliano wants to know. You may have found axolotls in the lush caves of Minecraft, but in real life, they live in the lakes and canals of Xochimilco, near Mexico City. But the species is slowly disappearing from its native habitat. Axolotl veterinarian Horacio Mena takes us on a journey to Xochimilco to find out what scientists are doing to save these adorable amphibians.
