Play ’em all… My love for video games started before 1990. Some of my early gaming experiences include:
- Oregon Trail and Truckin’ USA on Apple 2e
- Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt on Nintendo
- Stunt, Wolfenstein 3d, and Jurassic Park on a 386
…I’m a no-code Luddite using new tech like Cursor.ai and Google Canvas to build games and programs. The great part about vibe coding is you can ignore most of the technical requirements and let your creativity flow!
The result of my first vibe coding experience: an Oregon Trail spoof titled Oregon Fail. I used Cursor to build it, and I host it on Github.
Here’s a 5-minute video of me explaining my first experience vibe-coding:
Home Run Derby league
I’ve been playing in a fantasy baseball league with my dad and his buddies in which we choose MLB sluggers and follow their home runs. Very hands-off form of fantasy baseball. Set it and forget it.
Two years ago, I manually updated a spreadsheet and shared it with the guys. Last year, I dropped data from MLB.com into ChatGPT and asked it to sort and display so i could paste it into a sheet. This year, we’re upping the game.
I used Google Gemini 2.5 Pro and its Canvas feature to help me set up a sheet to make a daily call to the mlb.com api to fetch home run data, host the sheet in the google cloud, and build a web page that updates with the sheet. I’m in first! Hopefully I can hang onto that lead! Let me know if you’re interested in the details.
