Virtual Racing School

I helped VRS to built its online presence and promoting its telemetry and collaboration software for iRacing.

There’s also the Shanghai as the international […]

It’s Wednesday morning, and I’m in Saint Paul, Minnesota, attending the morning mass at St. Bernard’s church. It’s about twenty years since I last attended a mass, and the first time I’ve ever done so voluntarily. I’m sure I’m drawn to this church near my Airbnb, compelled to go in, but I find it hard […]
