About
Who writes this, what you'll find here, and why it looks like a 1950s science magazine.
I’m Bill McIntyre, an AI and machine learning architect in Boulder, Colorado. I build applied AI systems, help engineering teams adopt agentic coding, and host the AI Engineering meetups of the Rocky Mountain AI Interest Group (RMAIIG), where I usually bring the coffee.
This is where I write down what I’m learning: the experiments, the talks and workshops, the software I ship, and the things that broke along the way. AI right now is fascinating, a little terrifying, and a lot of fun, and I’d rather share what I find than keep it in a notes app. I also love robots, toys and games, so expect some of those too.
What’s here
- Talks & workshops: every talk with its slides, code and what I learned giving it.
- Projects: software and experiments, led by Inside Voice, free private dictation for the Mac.
- Features, notes and links: longer write-ups, short results, and things worth reading.
- Back issues: everything, by year.
Who wrote this
The writing here is mine. When I use AI tools on a post, I say how.
Why it looks like this
The design comes from a design system I made called Toynbee Convector, after Ray Bradbury’s short story. In it, a man claims he travelled a century ahead and saw a bright future, and because people believe him, they build it. Alan Kay put the same idea more directly: the best way to predict the future is to invent it.
