the geniuses at the LAPD noticed a medical diagnostic clinic had high energy usage so they raided it for no reason and a cop had his gun looney tunes style stolen from him by powerful magnets.

I literally switched to Linux because of this talk from Robert Herbig. This was not his intent. It did not matter. Catch this talk; it's a good one.

Rejections for next January's CodeMash have gone out and I had a pair of workshops declined. Acceptances should go out tomorrow.

I know I'm a bit late to the game here, but The Three Body Problem was a fantastic read.

Hey! Sam Gomez | Microsoft MVP wanted me to remind you all that I put my anniversaries ahead of conferences this year. 🤣 Missing conferences happening around this time due to anniversaries' celebrations - learned HTML because of this guy 27 years ago and been married 20 years!

Any good Meetup alternatives out there? I just got billed and prices have doubled.

I'll be giving my first KidzMash talk at CodeMash 2025!

Do note that the venue has changed. The new address is 330 Rush Alley, which is right across the street from COSI. Parking is not free. I am told street parking is $3-4 for about 3 hours and garage parking is $12.

I got my quarterly royalties statement for my books in Q2 2024. It very much appears that Refactoring with C# will surpass the advance on royalties and I'm very proud of this.

This is me every Wednesday after spending Tuesdays working as a Wizard on strategic stuff not related to my current client.

Look at that! Data Science with .NET and Polyglot Notebooks in the wild!

Thinking about a camera module holder so so can test out the new Raspberry Pi AI camera. It’s a people detector…

One of the things I love about Leading EDJE is our internal guild talks we do as lunch and learns. I love seeing all the interesting things people care about and are thinking about and innovating in.

I submitted a few sessions to this conference and I could use your vote! 🙂

Thank heavens for community notes

Today I got paid to build an AI prototype that helps parents with children with a specific medical condition understand the help resources available to them using RAG / AI Search. This is awesome.

Victor is a fellow developer at Leading EDJE and I've had the privilege to work on a project with him and do some light mentoring as well. I'm really excited to see Victor's talk two weeks from today!
