Carrot Creative Blog

After making the trek out to Seattle last year for Typecon 2007, I figured I couldn’t miss this year’s festivities in good old upstate New York, so I decided to attend Typecon 2008 in Buffalo. I spent three days listening to renowned speakers discuss issues related to every conceivable aspect of typography. I was excited to briefly meet Armin Vit who runs Brand New, by far my most favoritest blog in the whole wide world. I was even more pleased later in the conference to later see him and Erik Spiekermann sitting next to each other, tapping away at their laptops.

I will be attending the Numenta HTM Workshop in Palo Alto, CA this June! The workshop explores Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) and the Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing (NuPIC). Not only will I be soaking up the newest developments on HTM and NuPIC, soaking up the summer Cali sun, but I have also been asked to discuss “Neuro Computation in the Cloud” during the Lightning Talks on June 24 at the workshop. This is a result of the 2nd place finish Christopher Laan and I received from this year’s Numenta Game Challenge.
