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





We will win the Edmonton Folk Fest tarp this year. It has been foretold.

I think this is the coolest invoice I've ever seen. Kevlar and Carbon Fiber.


I've just moved to a public repository so that I can share my project with a couple of other. The project's pretty rough around the edges, but I'm pleased with the way everything's flowing now.

especiallly given how hacked together this is

I've now got support for:

  • micropubbing
  • webmentions
  • in-reply-to
  • albums (albiet in a hacked together way)

But, I need to add testing. That, and there are a lot of little things that would make the project overall nicer. For instance, simply displaying the link if we can't find any indieweb formatting on an in-reply-to page.

Also, I'm running critically low on storage space on my server. I'll need to start working on some self-image-hosting soon. That would also enable me to throw some albums up.

That being said I'm going to take a little dev sabbatical for now.


Got to play with some new headgear in the lab. I'm the resident EEG zen-master, and some people are looking at using it as an additional control channel for bionic limbs.

They just hacked apart a mind-flex toy headset.


I guess I have the mechanical aspects of webmentions in place. I just need to do some more testing and make sure that the formatting is readable.


Can't imagine a better place to hold a folk festival than cradled by the Rockies in Canmore!

Another test note for webmentions.


This is a test note to use as a source for sending web-mentions.
