Welcome to the Playground.

Games, useful tools, business experiments and ideas we're playing with. The fun part is trying them. The useful part is seeing what they can become.

What's waiting inside

Start with something fun. Notice what it can do.

Each project is something you can use or play with, but it also demonstrates pieces that can be reused in completely different ways.

Q-Dice

A remote dice game that became an experiment in shared content, different user roles and synchronized data.

🧮CALCULATOR IMAGEReplace with scenario screenshot.
Tool · Model · Decide

Student Loan Calculator

Change assumptions and see the consequences yourself instead of reading another static explanation.

The useful partScenario modeling · comparisons · personalized outputs · decision support
Public project stories

See what each project is really about.

The public project pages are the front door to each idea: screenshots, what it does, what we learned building it, and what else those functions might make possible.

The fun in function

Idea → Build → Learn → Reuse → Next idea.

Q-Dice can be a game and still teach us how remote users share structured information. Those same mechanics can become part of a retail experience. A calculator can be about student loans and still teach us how to build interactive decision tools for completely different problems.

How it all comes together

The Playground is one part of Curating Community.

Curating Community is about finding, connecting and sharing people, products, stories and ideas worth knowing about. The Playground is where some of those ideas become things you can touch, test and pass along.
