Good morning bsky!
It's Wednesday 19 February
It is 8:11am

The day has started well and clear, currently 13 degrees. 💚 It was perfect early sunrise walk at Mount Ainslie. ⛰️ The best views just off the beaten the track. 👀

It's warming up to 27 degrees by 3pm today – otherwise, enjoy your day.

🥳 Celebrating 5000+ followers! 🥳

Here is a glimpse into my daily life:

After my sabbatical, I got a desk at the Canberra Innovation Network.

I no longer have my private office, laboratory, and an entire company to wield - but I proved that I carry the magic to wherever I go.

Thanks y'all 🫰💖

At 35, I finally took my first real holiday—Aitutaki left me in awe. 🥺

How does a planet this stunning hold both this beauty and the chaos we’ve unleashed on it?

What keeps you hopeful when it feels like the world is working against itself?

Repost if you believe we and this Earth deserve better.

Hot take:

Leuchttrum1917 > Moleskine
... But I can't go past a pretty Paperblank.

Hardcover, ruled lines, pocket size - obviously.

What's your favourite notebook?

Anxiety is a storm I refuse to let win.

Ironically, it’s a pen and notebook, messy streams of bad poetry, that ground me and unlock clarity.

What unexpected rituals keep you centred?

Repost if you value the power of reflection.

Being authentic at Stanford while winning the CSIRO scholarship felt surreal.

It showed me that authenticity and excellence go hand in hand.

What inspires you to stay true to yourself?

Sharing this could inspire someone else’s journey.

Klimt’s Mäda Primavesi reminded me to embrace my playful, non-binary self.

How does art inspire your journey?

If this resonates with you, feel free to share - it might inspire someone else's creativity.

OpenAI o3 high has scored better than humans on ARC-AGI

If you are caught up on AI's failings—you're assessing it on knowledge rather than intelligence—do this at your own risk.

The arms race is on and I'm already exhausted.

MQTT is a very lightweight pub/sub protocol.

You can run MQTT clients on fun things like ESP32's (like this fun little board I got off Temu that has an OLED screen inbuilt!)

The code example I posted is a chain/graph that when a msg pub to user_input, eventually makes an infinite loop of ai_echo

I wrote a < 100 sloc #python class that allows me, my devices, and AI agents communicate to each other via MQTT.

It just works.™
