There’s a saying that’s attributed to physicist Richard Feynman, “If you want to master something, teach it.” After 30+ years of professionally creating websites, I thought I was a pretty good web developer. I worked at some major organizations in the NYC metro area, launched many successful websites, and teaching web development is part of that history. There are lots of web tutorials on this website and on the Photics.TV YouTube channel. But with the “Photics Web Guide”, it’s on a ridiculously different level.

2026 New Year’s Resolutions
Happy New Year! 🎊🥳🎉🎊 Last year did not go as expected. Not only was the Nintendo Switch 2 skipped, creating a hole in Photics.TV content, the book about web games was not completed. That’s because it was changed to a vanilla web design and web development book — The Photics Web Guide. That’s going to set the tone for 2026. That book must be completed!
A Christmas Jigsaw / Card
This is becoming something of a tradition. For the third year in a row, the 12 Days of Christmas Gift Ideas series of videos is now complete. And just as it was done last year, this year’s 12th video is a Christmas Card from Photics. The 2025 Christmas Card is a Jigsaw Puzzle. This is based on the same JavaScript code that was used to create the Photics: Jigsaw game.
The Plan For 2025
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥳 🎉
After much consideration, a plan for 2025 has begun. The big project is to create a new book — A Book About Making Web Games. The decision to move ahead with this plan involves two main ideas. The first, I always wanted to run my own arcade. The second, it has to do with tech education.
Photics.TV Reaches 10,000 Subscribers
Photics.TV passed another milestone. Over 10,000 subscribers decided that the tech variety channel was something they wanted to see more. It’s nice. That’s a lot of people. Thanks for joining the adventure, as the ultimate direction for this project is not quite clear. Tech video serendipity has been fun. This is just the beginning though, as YouTube channels can grow even larger.
