Sorg, Katie Dudas and Dave Podnar celebrate Episode 800 with a look at ArtCraft and the rise of vibe-coded alternatives to Adobe and Microsoft, Apple’s new HomeView smart display, Katie’s discovery of Dropout, and more than 16 years of AwesomeCast tech history—from Google Glass, Pebble and Stadia to ChatGPT, Periscope and Vine.

Plus, Chachi has gaming news, an Apple Watch can now point you directly toward Taco Bell, Cat Collector turns neighborhood cats into a real-world collecting game, Normal Tools provides a giant toolbox of simple web utilities, and Pittsburgh International Airport continues experimenting with robotics and analytics.
