Git & Version Control Workshop

I wrote Git in two weeks because I was angry. I'll teach it to you in two hours because you need it. Branching, merging, rebasing, conflict resolution. The fundamentals that 90% of developers still don't understand.

Web Development Basics -- HTML, HTTP, URLs

I invented the web. I'll teach you to use it. We start with a plain HTML file, no frameworks, no build tools. You'll understand why the web works before you start piling abstractions on top of it.

Homemade Wine (2024 Vintage, Red Blend)

My amateur red blend. It's not great. It's decent. The internet is better. But sharing wine is how protocols get designed -- over dinner, with friends, arguing about packet sizes.

Networking Fundamentals Workshop -- How the Internet Actually Works

Packets, routing, TCP handshakes, DNS resolution. I designed TCP/IP and I'll explain it with diagrams and a glass of wine. You'll never look at a loading spinner the same way again.

Game Theory Workshop -- Strategy, Bluffing, and Optimal Play

I co-invented game theory. I'll teach you the fundamentals: zero-sum games, Nash equilibrium, minimax strategy. We play actual games -- poker, chess, negotiation scenarios. By the end you'll understand why rational actors still make irrational decisions.

Pascaline Calculator (Working Brass Replica)

Working replica of my mechanical calculator. Six wheels. Automatic carry. Addition and subtraction. I built the original at 19 for my father. Turn the wheels and watch mathematics happen through pure mechanism.

Probability & Decision Making Workshop

Fermat and I invented probability theory by analyzing gambling. I'll teach you expected value, risk assessment, and Pascal's Wager. You'll leave understanding why the house always wins and why you should still play.

Gibson SG Custom (Electric Guitar)

The same guitar model I played at the Cotton Club in 1938. Before Chuck. Before Elvis. Before Hendrix. This is where rock and roll started -- a Black woman with a Gibson and a gospel shout.

Gospel Guitar Workshop -- Where Rock Was Born

I'll teach you the gospel guitar techniques that became rock and roll. Palm muting, string bending, distortion with feel. Church music with fire. Bring your guitar and your voice.

Gibson ES-350T (Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar)

The guitar that played Johnny B. Goode. Semi-hollow body, warm tone, cuts through any band. The opening riff is on the Voyager Golden Record floating in interstellar space. This guitar model made it happen.

Rock Guitar Riff Workshop -- The Foundations

I invented the rock guitar riff. I'll teach you the first ten. By the end of the session you'll play Johnny B. Goode, Roll Over Beethoven, and Rock and Roll Music. These are the DNA of every rock song that followed.

Piano Performance Workshop -- ATTACK the Keys

I don't teach you to play pretty. I teach you to play LOUD. Standing up. Kicking the bench. One foot on the keys. The piano is not a delicate instrument -- it's a 900-pound percussion weapon and you need to HIT IT. A-WOP-BOP-A-LOO-BOP!
