The Estuary

Ideas enter the water.
The strong ones surface.

The Estuary is our framework for experimentation. Small, testable ideas (tadpoles) enter a structured environment. We feed them, watch them, score them. The ones that survive become frogs: real, revenue-generating products.

Repurposing Experiment

Site Repurposing Lab

Built one resource site (Couch Vacation) then used AI to clone the architecture and fill it with entirely different subject areas. The result is a small network of resource sites spanning digital learning, nomadic living, app discovery, and professional certification, all from a single original template.

Digital Exhibit

SCORM.ing

The history of eLearning standards is poorly documented and largely unknown outside the small community that built it. SCORM.ing is an interactive digital museum preserving that history: the people, the decisions, the standards, and the legacy.
