I’m a fan of trying unusual things. In this post, I thought I’d share some examples of things I’ve done in the last year or so, in case it gives you an idea of something you might want to try.
Trying new things
July 27th, 2023Catching the carpool cheats
July 24th, 2023I’ve added a new project worksheet to Machine Learning for Kids, based on the idea of a traffic camera in a carpool lane.
Students create training examples by labelling pictures of cars with random passengers in.

My TEDx talk
July 24th, 2023The videos from TEDx Winchester 2023 are now live on YouTube – including a recording of my talk. This feels like a good point to look at back at what the experience was like.
Walking to work
July 21st, 2023My commute changed a few weeks ago – from a short drive, to a cross-country walk. I had to return my company car as we don’t do them any more, and I chose not to replace it. So now I’m starting and ending my day with a walk.

Machine Learning for Kids with EduBlocks
July 8th, 2023Students can now create Machine Learning for Kids projects using EduBlocks – letting them create machine learning Python projects in the browser by dragging and dropping blocks on a canvas.
This is all thanks to a fantastic new contribution from Joshua Lowe.
Here’s a quick run-through to show what this makes possible.
What is IBM Event Automation?
July 4th, 2023A summary of IBM Event Automation in under 200 words.
Last week was the first release of IBM Event Automation. I’ve been asked what it’s all about, so I thought it’d be helpful to have a brief summary to point people at.
IBM Event Automation is a collection of three components, designed to help companies be productive in creating event-driven solutions.
