I'll be performing again in #Boulder on Tuesday. Boulder Bookstore. Come through! @boulderbookstore.bsky.social #Poetry #SpokenWord #Books
Tomorrow @ #BoulderStartupWeek! "Game dev in the age of #AI: Is Fun the Final Frontier?" You needn't be a gamer or #GameDev. We'll probe at the very contents of our humanness in an age of rising AI revelco.org/events/bsw-2... #BSW26 #Gaming #Boulder #Colorado #Humanism #Play #Recreation
May 5: National Day of Awareness for Missing/Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls & Two-Spirit People. Please learn more. If there's enough basic awareness, there's less load of vigilance on each of us en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing... #MMIP #MMIW #MMIWG #MMIWG2S #NoMoreStolenSisters
Another #NationalPoetryMonth event featuring SE TH and also my #Colorado Poets Center colleague Kathryn Winograd. 4pm April 25th at Tattered Cover, Colfax. #Poetry #Denver
On Sunday we worked on chipping/lobbing the keeper on a breakaway. She was frustrated for a lot of it. "I can't consistently get my foot position right." Then high school match tonight and she pulls off this banger. 🤯🤩⚽️🥅
I'm in the lineup for this #Denver #NationalPoetryMonth reading/performance (note: my work is delivered more in "performance" than "reading", and ditto SETH's 😎). #Denver, #Colorado, April 13 at 7pm, at West Side Books & Curios. There will be wine. Come thru! #poetry #spokenword
Been a while since I've been part of a #poetry / #SpokenWord performance in #Boulder. We've lots of cool flourishes in mind for this one. Come thru! Migrations on Silk: #Poetry & #Shakespeare March 28 6-8pm Bus Stop Gallery, 4895 Broadway #Art #Painting #Immigration #Colorado
We've added Apple & Google sign-in to Spellist. Really helps reduce the sign-on friction. games.oori.dev/spellist/ #Gaming #IndieGames #VideoGames #PuzzleGames #WordGames #CasualGames #MobileApps #Spellist #Apple #Google #Android #iOS
New Onya release, 0.2.0. Includes Mermaid and graphviz output. Onya is a #KnowledgeGraph format and toolkit with a literate bent for the #LLM world, based on my long-standing Versa work. #Python #LLMstack #GenAI github.com/OoriData/Onya
Upon mater's surmise that direct conveyance of matter might with most alacrity illumine the family. #HappyHolidays! #MaterDontPlay
Custom QR Code with white text on transparent background. Yeah, no, don't bother logging in to some random fly by night site 🙄. #Python
Channeling Katie McCabe. Champions of the league!! I mean #Boulder is basically Europe, right? Rite?! #AWFC #Soccer4Life
Wifey just asked me, now the match is over, what I'm going to do today. I said "I have no idea!" What a day! From Leah & Kim thru Mariona & Laia, Kelly getting her smile back. Lotte's late rearguard for home club. Unfairly maligned Stina. The stories go crazy! #Arsenal #UWCLfinal
Intense first half. I nearly lost my voice on the disallowed goal 😅. #COYG!! #UWCLfinal #Arsenal
I could write an epic poem explaining why Las Vegas makes me feel as if my brain has been infected with megrim demons, or I could just post this photo. Yeah that sign says "Strip Gun Club" and the LEDs switch to bold text saying "Shoot a machine gun!"
If you happen to be in Western #Colorado on Thurs, stop by my #SpokenWord performance—a stage full of #poetry & #music. I'll be doing my First Nations Salutation & a suite of my Colorado Water pieces. I always revel in taking a few days exclusively for my artist self. #art
Quick tip if you use LLMs to generate/edit Python code (probably other languages). LLMs like to generate whitespace-only lines. Asked about that today, I said that in almost any editor you can regex search & replace. Search: `^ +$\n` & replace: `\n`. Screenshot shows an example in VS Code.
When I get new #scam/#phishing attempts I study for a bit to spot the exact gaffe—gotta warn fam what's up in Griftville. Sometimes takes some squinting as the scams evolve. Tried the new #Gemini assistant to accelerate; worked pretty well for this case (legit links; phone number as the only funnel)
"Russian Roulette Opening" is a poem of mine, published 4 years ago in Sylvia Magazine. An extended metaphor on a once again timely topic. You should have little trouble figuring it out 😉 www.sylviamagazine.com/russian-roul... #Poetry
Proud Dad & Coach moment. My HS freshman girl. She was worried about trying out for the soccer team. Her club team of 8th & 9th graders played her HS team's indoor squad indoor today, a few seniors & all. She scored 5 on 'em (10-6 loss, ultimately) Confidence badge unlocked!⚽️💪🏿
Prepping for the Denver AI holiday party, I pictured maybe the usual 40-50 folks. No prob with my 3 PA speakers. Then numbers quickly shot into the 90s. Uh oh! Proper PA subwoofer required (bodies kill bass)! Bit the bullet & ordered one (my seat in the pic), just to ensure the literal vibes.
#JSONSchema is very handy & popular for controlling LLM outputs, including in my own project, Toolio. It's terrible to read, though & token greedy=inefficient in #LLM workloads. Think it would be cool to have an e.g. #YAML format to do the same. #JSON #GenAI
I'll be giving a #poetry reading tonight (7pm) at East Simpson Coffee Co in #Lafayette #Colorado. As you might imagine, my performances are a bit different from your traditional fare, so have fun while bragging on your cultural bona fides; do come along! #spokenword
I'll be representing the #Colorado Poets Center, reciting poetry between story-telling shorts at the fundraiser for the Casa de Paz Immigrant Rights organization in Denver next week (May 9th at 6pm). Come support a good cause. #Denver #Immigration #Poetry #StoryTelling
Up next on the poet (and DJ) front: I'll be a third of the Dark Night Solstice Show crew—a couple of nights (Dec 15 & 16) concocting chaos in Paonia, #Colorado. #Poetry #SpokenWord #Storytelling #Music #Performance
