coalesce(current_date, event_date) because I’m occasionally existential, but my code speaks middle school angst.

Topology is a hell of a drug

Typically the voronoi-polygons of Lloyd's Algorithm closely resemble hexagons, but aren't quite perfect. I'm playing around with constraining Lloyd's algorithm within a hexagonal perimeter, and it seems to find the perfect tiling all by itself. #satisfying #d3js

✨🐴♟closed nights tour of a 16x16 chessboard ♟ 🐴✨

It’s a possible journey that a knight could take to hit every single space on a chessboard.

Bob has loads and they’re all really cool so I’d go have a scroll!

Humans are lucky because fascination makes us giggle (and bravely not-quite break things)

Today, I simply wanted to renew my passport online. After numerous attempts and changing my clothes several times, this example illustrates why I regularly present on Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning bias, equality, diversity and inclusion. #passport

Marketers:

Clarity is the antidote to shiny object syndrome.

Clarity is the antidote to overwhelm.

Clarity is the antidote to imposter syndrome.

But as painful as it may be, true clarity comes from engagement—not thought.

Engage your audience. Gain clarity. Grow faster.

This is how Kathy Seirra’s Badass ends.

This is everything to me.

It’s what I want to do.

How I want to live.

I miss Kathy so much. I’m thankful for this powerful book. It’s affected me deeply and you should consider reading it too. ❤️

My first attempt at building a search tool, and the estimated runtime for single search is 30 years.

Put the things that ground you, heal you, and hold you in your way. Make it impossible to not stumble over them everyday.

[Actually, @eaton]

Some of the most powerful mechanisms of structural oppression — the power to name, to declare what is default, to define what is seen and not seen — are the fundamental tools of IA. Developing these tools without engaging with this truth is direct participation in those systems.

Women tend to have way more interesting scandals than men. Dudes usually get in trouble because they were horny or they were angry. We get in trouble because we start a fake blood company or pay $500k to get our kid on a rowing team.

[Visa is doing marketing consults (see pinned!) @visakanv]

This is what draws me to philosophy and marketing. Software engineers say things like “wow you can make stuff with code just by thinking it and typing it” yes and!! have you tried reimagining your entire reality. Wild

Fifth, body misalignment. This is my fav: The virtual and the physical body will never be perfectly aligned in time and space. The sensing+computation pipeline that mediates motion and display can only worsen alignment. Try petting a cat with Leap Motion. Ouch. 12/22
