Understanding AI
The AI
Hobby Guy
I am taking Get Going Fast on the road to meet regular people, build real relationships, and see whether AI can give us one more reason to come together.
Local AI | Tools | Workflows
There is a lot dividing us these days. Can AI help bring us together?
AI is changing how we work, create, and communicate. But I am interested in something a little more human: can this technology actually give us a reason to connect with people we otherwise might never meet?
So I am taking The AI Hobby Guy on the road.
I travel to meet regular people who are building, experimenting, or simply curious about AI. Sometimes I help with a project. Sometimes we build something together. Sometimes I am just there to listen, learn, and see what AI looks like in someone else's world.
See What We Build
Real AI projects, experiments, fixes, and collaborations from the road.

Interesting Humans
You do not need an AI project. If there is somebody or somewhere along the route I ought to know about, tell me.
Join The Journey
Tell me who you are, where you are, and why a conversation, visit, or project might be worth sharing. Informal is exactly right.
