Excited to be talking at @SQLBits / #SQLBits2023 alongside so many other fantastic speakers! Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

my talk (MLOps and ML-Flops) takes a look at productionising ML code, and using MLOps to stop your next deployment from being an ML-Flop! Come say hi if you’re attending!

This is my new best friend Bernard!

He's a robot dog from Boston Dynamics! In some ways he is very similar to a dog (4 legs), and in other ways he's very different (battery-powered, has a LiDAR scanner).

Version 0.0.1 of an AR window into one of the meeting rooms at the office where I work. Made using Lens Studio in just a few hours! It’s amazing how much you can accomplish now in so little time

Every week I make a podcast with @andrewblance. It's about stupid but whimsical business ideas and we think it's pretty funny. You should probably check it out. We spend a lot of time on it. www.brainsontheoutside.com

Recently I have been trying to understand how best to handle live #data from #iot devices. I wrote an article about my experiences and the journey we went on (and still are working on) which you can now read in #towardsdatascience

I talk about an #Azure tech stack that we’re trying out, that goes from IoT hub to Power Bi. Theres also a chat about the hardware, and why we pivoted away from using a #RaspberryPi

Making Decisions from IoT Data | by Andrew Blance | Towards Data Science

How to design scalable IoT architecture in Azure for Real-Time data analysis! Using data to get insight can be difficult. Can IoT devices and sensors help?

The latest episode of me and @moggy’s ridiculous business-ideas show, Brains on the Outside, is now out! If you have any weird and wonderful business ideas, we would love to hear them!
Today we wonder why if you can get tribute bands you don’t also get tribute businesses or art or restaurants. Then, in an effort to make remote work easier, Alex reinvents The Rehearsal

A Tribute to a Better Life - Brains on the Outside

You can see a cover band version of The Beatles, but why isn't there a tribute version of theme parks? Or a tribute version of Formula 1, or art, or restaurants? After we pitch a tribute of everything, Alex plays havoc with the spacetime continuum...

Had a great time at #durhack this weekend!

so many innovative and fun ideas - especially team Kill Bills, the winners of the challenge I helped set up (and winner of the entire event!!). It was a game about saving energy, using data from the building they where in!

So many other fun things too! An #anime game to teach you #coding! A banana that tells you the value of #bitcoin! An alarm clock that is excessively difficult to turn off! An app designed to call you out for not doing the dishes!

Absolutely incredible delivery came today in the post!

World Ending Game is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to end a world, then make a new one with The Ground Itself (which is already one of my fave #ttrps)

Currently almost half way through Light of Xaryxis (a #spelljammer #dnd campaign). It’s fantastic, I’m loving the journey, though having the #WorldEndingGame now makes me strangely excited for it all to end now

Another one of my faves is my Introduction to 6502 #Assembly series!

It’s a challenge to try explain Assembly #programming in a fun way, but I think I did an ok job
