We’re excited to announce the Early Access launch of Chirp, a wellness app designed to support individuals on their mental health journey. Built on the principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), PlayChirp provides users with practical tools and strategies to help manage emotions, reduce stress, and build resilience in day-to-day life.

Our goal is to make DBT-based support more accessible to those who need it. Whether you're looking to enhance mindfulness, improve emotional regulation, or simply engage in activities that promote well-being, PlayChirp offers a personalized experience tailored to help users develop healthier coping mechanisms.

As part of our Early Access phase, we're inviting a select group to explore PlayChirp and provide feedback as we continue refining the app. This is a chance to be involved early on and influence how the platform evolves to meet the needs of individuals seeking mental health support.

You can sign up here: playchirp.com/early-access. We encourage you to share this with others who may benefit from using the app.

Your insights and experiences will play a crucial role in shaping PlayChirp as we work to make mental wellness tools more accessible to everyone.

Thank you for your support.

We're thrilled to share the great creations from our January 7th Digital Art Workshop for Youth held by NewPath. Our young artists, ages 7-11, from Alamo Elementary, West Portal Elementary, and Argonne Elementary schools in San Francisco, participated in the "Digital Storybooks: Imaginations Unleashed" exhibit.

This virtual gallery showcase is available via mobile devices, computers, or a VR headset. With your free Spatial.io account you can visit the gallery here: https://www.spatial.io/s/Digital-Storybooks-January-2024-6596d0508bf67d400f0b2774. I'll be giving a tour on Friday at 9 am PST if you'd like to meet me for a tour and ask any questions.

Let's encourage and support the next generation of digital artists and storytellers! 👏

New research out suggesting the use of a small, common item you probably have on hand to combat VR nausea. https://www.reviewgeek.com/107667/the-solution-for-virtual-reality-nausea-might-be-a-stick-of-gum/

Those CEOs and tech dorks that talk about attending business meetings in VR are completely out of touch with what people really want from VR—games and adventures that you can’t experience in real life. That means floating through outer space, zooming on a military-grade jet, mowing down zombies,...

"We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain"
— Alan Watts


Today is a day to take action on your own mental health, as well as supporting those you love. I started the day with a double workout and I'll be spending time with family this fine afternoon. I also vow to donate to NAMI and highlight 3 artists today to offer encouragement for their hard work and to shine light on art creation as a form of self expression and self care. Lastly, if anyone is suffering right now, I offer a non-judgmental ear for you to bend. Reach out with a direct message and let's challenge your negative perceptions.
