Notes from the workshop
Two Centuries of Elixir
I'm embarking on a project that I call "Two Centuries of Elixir". It is 200 projects of varying sizes that target the areas of Elixir I want to reinforce my knowledge of or learn more about.
A Curriculum for Typography
One nice thing about typography is that its essence doesn't change. Styles come and go, but the fundamentals of spacing, proportion, and rhythm do not. In 50 years, most of these books will be as relevant as they are today.
A Curriculum for General Design
It's hard to come up with a comprehensive list of books on design. So, consider these a starting point for a long, long journey of exploration.
A Curriculum for Web Design
Good books on web design are hard to find. Many of the best focus on user experience rather than making things look nice. For that reason, I’ve added a couple of online courses to this curriculum.
A Curriculum for Basic Drawing
There are so many good books, each with its own approach. I settled on the books below because they are widely regarded as excellent and have stood the test of time.
A Curriculum for AI & ML
I never feel I know a thing unless I understand its core. For that reason, I'm studying the foundational technologies on which LLMs and agents are built. Here's what I'm reading.
A Curriculum for Elixir
I've assembled the best books I can find on programming in Elixir (and a bit of Erlang, another language Elixir is based on). Let's get reading!
A Curriculum for LLMs & Agents
I'm pretty certain the books I want to read will be, at least in part, obsolete by the time I get to them. Undaunted though, here is the list of books I'm reading to get deep into LLMs and agentic AI.
Changing My Campaign Schedule
My campaign for the Millis Select Board is ongoing, but I'm adjusting the timing.
Binding Loose Papers
Japanese stab binding is a great technique for binding loose papers. Let's give it a crack.
