A Cockail for Braid
Have a Super Mar 10! For Mario March I am creating Mario-inspired food and drink. I’m going to be playing Braid today. In the spirit of The Drunken Moogle, I thought it would be nice to create a cocktail to celebrate this game, and drink while I play. Some game and geek cocktails only mimic…

What Is: Microsoft Cognitive Services
Lately I’ve taken an interest in Microsoft’s Cognitive Services suite, and given some talks about Cognitive Services around the country.
