Now.
What I'm doing at the moment, inspired by Derek Sivers' Now and which I learned of from Patrick Rhone.
My current reading is:
- 'The Worlds I See: Curiosity, Exploration, and Discovery at the Dawn of AI', Fei-Fei Li
My current projects are:
- getting familiar with the Raspberry Pi Pico 2, a surprise update on the Pico which has proved a really versatile device
- beginning to work through 'The Little Learner, A Straight Line to Deep Learning', Daniel Friedman and Anurag Mendhekar
My recent listening is BBC Proms. So far, I've particularly liked Prom 1's Clara Schuman Concerto with Isata Kanneh-Mason and Hallelujah Sim. by Ben Nobuto. And, of course Prom 2: Everybody Dance! The Sound of Disco.
Previously.
The last thing I read was 'The Maniac', Benjamin Labatut. Reading the first few chapters I have to admit I was fazed by the unflinching directness of the violence described. It's an interesting format—mixing fiction and a more factual account of the life of John von Neumann; whose background I didn't really know much about. I persevered to the end…
Previous things I've read are 'Four Seasons in Japan', Nick Bradley, 'Dandelion Wine', Ray Bradbury, 'Tyger', S F Said, 'Fractals, on the edge of chaos' Oliver Linton, 'Kofi and the Rap Battle Summer, Jeffrey Boakye, 'God's Children Are Little Broken Things', Arinze Ifeakandu.
