We got a lot going on this month. Here’s a field survey of Where I’m At:
Last week (May 12-16): Successfully booked and hosted the day-long OpenCV-SID Conference on Computer Vision and AI, then 3 days of working the OpenCV Pavilion booth I designed at the Display Week 2025 conference in San Jose. Talked to about 200 people and ate 3 Marriott Hotel salads.
Next week (May 20-23): Working the OpenCV booth at Embedded Vision Summit in Santa Clara. We’re booth #704 on the show floor.
May 29: Hosting a Hackster Impact Spotlight event on Industrial Automation. Watch on LinkedIn Live.
June 10-16: Headed to Nashville for Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) conference, another long week at the booth slinging stickers and buttons with my people.
June 25-July 1: Trip to Ciudad de México con mi novia.
Now accepting food and drink recommendations for CDMX & Nashville.
As for my social medias, I’m available at the usual places:
- I’m on Patreon, please support my work if you can. Even a new $1/month backer makes a big difference to me financially (and mentally tbh). Thanks.
- On my YouTube (@philnelson) and TikTok (@extrafuture) channels I post a video every morning of me stamping today’s date on paper.
- I’m on the xoxo.zone Mastodon server (@philnelson) and I’m philnelson on Bluesky, posting fairly regular on both.
- RetroStrange is still going on! We average about 7-10 viewers at a time on our totally free 24/7 streaming channel RetroStrange TV. It’s on Roku too.
- Our little indie gaming blog Set Side B remains one of the last good blogs. John is doing a great job over there. Send us your pitches, but we’re too broke to pay.
- OpenCV Weekly Webinar has some real good stuff coming up. We’re going to be changing up some things in production to improve video and audio quality.
That’s about it for now. Stay frosty. It’s hot out there.
