In this podcast, Jon Westfall and I discuss:

1. Toonsquid iPad animation app. $9.99. No In-app purchases after purchasing
   Planning to create abstract looping videos to use for YouTube Podcasts
2. Google Bard
3. Microsoft Bing Creator
4. Microsoft Loop
   • Todd is using Loop in a web browser
   • iOS preview is closed
     Attempting to open a Loop component on an iPad without the Loop preview app does not appear possible. The link opens the iPadOS Edge browser but does not show the component
   • Android preview is still available (as of 03.25)
5. Jon also played with Flutter this week and was very impressed. Pair that with Bing Chat / Chat GPT and excitement over MS Copilot, and I’m really interested in what the future holds.
