In a recent post I mentioned moderating a table talk at this year’s MSBuild along with Erik Kleefeldt. By design, it’s meant to be like a hallway chat with a bunch of people about tech we’ve been using/playing with/excited about.

Taking a break from an experiment about streams in Teams
A quick take on a hot mess
I saw that response from Dona Sarkar, who I’m following on Twitter. Since I’ve been following her, from what she shares I could have guessed her response.

So, unlike most of the posts on this site, which features a story about something I did or was involved in, this is largely my views on a question. Here’s the question, “I’m a twentysomething-year-old with regular computing schools, I have a […]
The Air IQ Agent
Last year, at the Caribbean Developers virtual gathering, I demonstrated a bot that displays air quality information based on sensors at a few spots in Trinidad & Tobago. My remarks on it can be seen here. This week, I went ahead and pulled together the work to publish that bot as an Action on Google. […]

Their project is called the Maritime Ocean Collection and it features many 360-degree images. So with the right device, you could look all around in a […]
