In this episode we get to speak with creative developer, Patrick Brouwer. Patrick gives us a sneak peek into the logic of his new animation app Spirit. Spirit provides a way to easily animate objects on the web. We get the nitty-gritty on how it works, who it’s for, and how it’s way different from all the other apps that try to service this need.

Patrick also performs a two hour guitar solo from the song Hotel California.
