I'm Alex Kearney, I'm Science at the University of Alberta. I focus on Artificial Intelligence and Epistemology.

I talk a lot about travel, dev, yeg, indieweb, grad-school, life, tech, food, article, art, and other things.





An observation travelling over the past few weeks: Uptick in conspicuous Canadian flags on luggage 🇨🇦. Clearly folks are eager to signal they're not one of those North Americans.

I feel like I saw a lot more of this in the late 90s; perhaps unsurprising to see a revival.

Fist time queuing for ramen, but absolutely worth the wait. A bit of drama, as someone fainted in line ahead of us.

Perfectly balanced broth.

Getting back into baking bread. I recently found a recipe that makes less mess and requires less babysitting.

Went to the phenomenal shuka for dinner. Dylan and I tried Orange Wine for the first time: a funky natural wine that really cut through all the intense flavours.
