I only close them when I hit “publish” on an article. I have to earn the right to close a window.

I really want to thank Elon Musk for breaking my addiction to Twitter. It wasn’t healthy, so I can say that he really improved my life by ruining Twitter.

These days, I’m an Instagram and Threads guy. Not that Zuckerberg is significantly better than Elon, but as a public-facing person, I do need these platforms.

But Zuckerberg better be careful. My generation isn’t afraid to leave social media platforms.

We left MySpace and Friendster, just like I left Twitter. What is your happy place online?

Watching the latest Japanese video on YouTube or watching Lionfield videos with my 8-year-old on InstagramWhat is your favorite gadget you’ve ever owned? Afro pick with extra-long metal teeth with a fist as the handle.

Which was the most disappointing? A brush that claimed it could effectively comb Afros.

I bought it because of Shark Tank. But I think my hair is just too long.

Or the X-ray specs they used to sell in comic books. What game do you have the fondest memories of?

It is a tie between Civilization on the PC and NBA Live on Sega Genesis. I’m talking like NBA Live ‘95.

I’M SOOOOO OLD! Which tech trend do you wish would go away?

What is one thing you wish you had created? Flappy Bird.

But I would have let it rock instead of deleting it. Maybe because I have three kids, I can’t look a gift app in the mouth like that.

You all would have had at least eight Flappy Bird movies by now. It would have out-Minioned the Minion movies.

What creation are you most proud of? My three daughters.

It was a collab project. “Don’t think you are going to make it just by doing stand-up comedy.

You need to learn how to write other things,” – Kevin Kataoka. What is your current obsession?

The NBA off-season. It is way better than the actual season, even with the Knicks winning.

What do you do when you need to focus? Coffee and extreme quiet… like leave me the eff alone… so I can listen to YouTube while I work.

Middle of the night is the best time to work, but I can’t do that as often as I like… those three kids like it when both their parents are awake at the same time. My wife likes that better, too.

What do you do when you’re feeling stuck? Change the song or play a silly cellphone game for four hours.

When was the last time you went somewhere without your phone? Excuse me?

EXCUSE ME??? WHY WOULD I DO THAT?

What’s the last piece of physical media you bought? I’m a middle-aged-dad-who-buys-records-years-old.

The guy at the shop (Mars Records in Oakl and) holds things for me. I bought Fishbone’s first EP recently.

I should really buy a record player. What do you think is worth splurging on?

If you need a new computer, GET A NEW COMPUTER! What would the tagline for your biopic be?

Doing the best he can. What’s the last GIF or meme you used?
