Monday night – spray paint

Busy day of work.. managed to break free around lunch for two meetings at the generator. The first was with the local ignite coordinator, Mike S. Mike used to be Burlington’s Chief of Police for many years.. His dad and I used to work together !   He’s working to organize a grant through the Global City Team Challenge to help us launch a city wide LoRa ultra low power IoT network.  .We met to brainstorm on what that would take 

My buddy John has already gotten some Lora stuff working. I leant him one of my gateways.. this is going to be so cool !. It will be fun and useful for scientists, the city .. and for art/mischeif.. can’t wait to have it up and running. it will be both fun .. and a great demo for my work !

 

speaking of work.. I now have my particle electron working through IBM’s IoT blockchain prototype.. It’s very cool to have this stuff connected to the physical world (again) .. more on that in the coming months .

 

had to catch a 6:20 flight tonight.. so Diane dropped me at the airport.. I grabbed dinner at the Skinny Pancake.. where I ran into some friends.. emily, justin and ryan.. and nabbed a heady topper and a yummy crepeadilla for the plane 

 

first stop in NYC was to go visit Max at the shop he works in.. he’s got an amazing job making these high end phone cases, glasses and briefcases. He’s really honed his making and design skills in the process.. I couldn’t imagine a better place for him to be learning this stuff.. I’m so proud of him !

 

we left his work and went to a bar down the street for a beer.. .. the crazies thing had just happened there. A young guy.. early 20’s had just come in and ordered some fancy drinks.. then went into the bathroom and spray pained all over the walls and the doors in this really nice place. .. .. then he pulled a knife on one of the patrons.. really crazy.. 

ironically one of the things he painted was the words “I’m so sorry”.. wow !

 

here’s the guy that had the knife pulled on him.. he knows max.. we had fun talking to him.. one of his claims to fame was that he was on an episode of the walking dead.. check it out 

never a dull moment in the big city !!!!

nite all, nite sam
