Hello friends! KK here your resident techartist, quasi-sage and cyberpunk anti-hero from the future. Strap in, because I've been riding this rocketship of life at warp speed, and I've got a ton of stories, life hacks, and jaw-dropping moments to share with you!

Let's get into the nitty-gritty:

  • Coffee, Community & Sobriety: Sat down with the legendary Matt McKenna and had an eye-opening convo about his journey in the Dent community.

  • AI: Promise & Peril: Hosted a panel where the big brains talk about AI's impact on our world. Space Force CTO in the house!

  • The AI Mindset: Unpacked my learnings from Kyle Kesterson's workshop. Get ready to have your AI game level up!

  • AI Transit Bot: Dived into the world of natural language processing and made public transit cool again.

  • Portraiture & Photography: Got my portrait game on with the one and only Asa Mathat.

So grab your favorite brew, settle in, and let's take this journey together!

Peace, love & pixels,
Kris Krug
