I'm surfacing a bit here to say hi. I've been so busy since last summer and haven't had time for social. World events are hitting really hard too since last Friday. I'm busy writing tech book 3 on .NET topics and some fun stuff with Werewolf and probability.

Building a Digital Dungeon Master with Semantic Kernel, C#, and Azure
It turns out that AI orchestration is remarkably well equipped to handle building a virtual game master. Let's see how it works.

I've been tinkering around with AI Orchestration and LLMs to help facilitate a solo D&D campaign in an alien world setting. Tools involved are Semantic Kernel, C#, MidJourney, Azure OpenAI, and D&D Beyond with Obsidian to record my journey. It's a lot of fun.

I haven't mentioned this yet, but I am elated to join the board of @stirtrek.com, letting me serve the very first in person conference I ever attedance (back in 2009) and the regional community.
Great to have new organizers joining @stirtrek.com 2025 planning meeting last night! 👋

I went on a random YouTube tangent this afternoon and discovered the Bicolline Medieval LARP event up in Canada. I kind of wish Matt in his 20's knew about this place, but it was fun to watch accounts of it.

Notice my handle is @brendoneus.com on here?

Custom handles are how people and brands verify themselves on here. Anyone can make a handle, but you can make it your domain name.

Expect to see businesses use @help.example.com , @example.com, etc. for each department.

Wrote a bit over 1.5k words tonight, starting and finishing a chapter I'm calling "The NDA". This chapter concludes the first of 6 parts in the book, though I spot a number of things I want to polish and improve in the second draft.

As of last night, I'm 6 chapters and 11.5k words in on the new novel (an AI technothriller). I don't have a firm chapter count or word count in mind for the first draft, but I view myself as just shy of 1/6 of the way through the plot.

Hey folks. Thanks for the follows. I'm a technical author and course creator with "Refactoring with C#" and "Data Science in .NET with Polyglot Notebooks" being my published books, a new one coming next year, and a technothriller currently under development. I do a lot in the .NET and AI spaces.

I heard this place was popping off recently. Hello again. Still on Twitter and LI, but we'll see if I can remember to check this app too. Currently working on a novel and some conference content for January, but I'll start a new tech book in the new year.

If you never read the book Lean Software Development (and you're a software developer), you really should. In the meantime, here's a quick summary of the main principles identified in the book:

I'm looking forward to speaking at Momentum Developer Conference in a few days on code visualization. I love this talk and this time around I'm exploring the Polyglot Notebooks repository using Python, Pandas, and Plotly.
