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

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

Totally bananas how low the barrier of entry is to make AR experiences on #Apple products

Once set-up, it takes <5 mins to make this toy rocket I can interact with. The combo of #AR Kit and Reality Composer is going to make development on Apple’s glasses a dreamy experience

Getting ready for my #northeast #datascience #meetup talk by re-reading Cole Knaflic’s super book Storytelling with You!

This is the first talk I’ve given after reading it, the book is having a biggg impact on how I’m preparing. Lots of actionable, useful advice!

Also I use a really nice font for my slides (vulf mono), so im excited to show that off

Had a fantastic 2 days at the DataFest #DataSummit22 in Edinburgh - so many fantastic, insightful speakers! Already looking forward to next year!

Who here has been watching #Andor? Episode 9 has rocked me. It’s up there with the best Star Wars has ever been. Andy Serkis is totally perfect in it.
