Extra Future is the work of Phil Nelson, a copy writer, designer, video producer and programmer from Michigan who now lives Out West. He has been writing and coding on the internet for as long as he can remember.
You may remember him from founding GameWikis.org (acquired by Wikia), launching Structure Sensor, Bridge Headset, and Structure Sensor Mark II with Occipital, running the $1.3 million dollar OpenCV AI Kit Kickstarter campaign, hosting RetroStrange Movie Night or being Commissioner of Divergent League Baseball. He collects vintage video game stuff.

- Audacity for quick audio production or recording
