20 Builders, No Slides
Google DeepMind and AI Tinkerers picked up the tab for 20 AI builders at Juniper during SXSW. Good food, good people, good shop talk.

Tesla Factory Tour
Today I got to take a tour of the Tesla factory in Fremont, California. It’s in the Bay Area and is HUGE. As an owner, I get the opportunity to tour their facilities. However, you can’t bring your camera into the factory floor.

IKEA Headphone Holder
