Learn how to be funny (er) with Honor
Have you ever felt like you would like to laugh more, make others laugh or that life feels too serious ?
Then this workshop is for you!
Life can weigh us down, yet Harvard Business Review has cited that humor is a key factor in maintaining emotional resilience through these ups and downs.
The Benefits of Being funny:
There are many benefits of being funny. 1. It creates a positive vibe at gatherings and in relationships, breaks the ice, creates connection, can open conversations, excellent for flirting and dating and building attraction, and FEELS GOOD for all involved! AND can be used to diffuse conflicts. Oh shit i forgot to number the points after number one, oh well , im sure you get it1
But HOW do you do it? well that's what i'm going to teach you silly!
Along my journey of personal development i stumbled across the gift of humor within myself and stared performing at open mics, and just making people around me feel happier and more at ease. I also did several comedy improv workshops and shows.
So I thought I would break down how I did it and teach you lot!
So in this workshop i will teach you the nuts and bolts of what makes something funny and then we will do some practice exercises so you can see your true humorous self emerge, trigger warning - prepare for big belly laughs.
After feedback from the last workshop there will be more practical exercises to practice being funny.
There are 10 spots funded my Neurospicy meetup.

June 14 | Blackwood Social - Afternoon Drinks for Singles | Windsor
✨ **KISMETRIX \| True Connection**
[Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/june-14-blackwood-social-afternoon-drinks-for-singles-windsor-tickets-1990554475019)
### **Blackwood Social - Afternoon Drinks for Singles**
**📍 Blackwoods Wine & Cocktail Bar — 137 Chapel Street, Windsor**
**📅 Sunday, 14 June 2026 · 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM**
**🥂 Standard drink on arrival included**
**Somewhere along the way, meeting people got lonely.**
The apps turned connection into a catalogue. The bar scene stopped feeling worth it. Your social circle calcified in your late twenties and nobody told you how to crack it back open.
You're not anti-social. You're not too picky. You're just waiting for a room that actually feels worth walking into.
This is that room.
#### BLACKWOOD SOCIAL
Kismetrix doesn't run singles nights. We build the kind of afternoon where you walk in not knowing a soul — and walk out wondering why Sunday ever looked like anything else.
Blackwoods Wine & Cocktail Bar in Windsor is the setting. Unhurried. Intimate. The kind of place that makes conversation feel easy before you've even tried.
Our host will be there from the moment you arrive — not to run activities or move you around the room, but to make sure nobody spends their first five minutes standing alone wondering if they've made a mistake. You haven't. We've got you.
Name tags on. Guard down. Drink in hand.
See what happens.
#### WHO THIS IS FOR
Professionals and creatives aged 28–42 who are socially confident but privately a little tired of how hard it's become to meet people who actually get it. People who want a relationship, or a friend, or just proof that their city still has interesting humans in it.
Most guests come alone. That's not the exception here — that's the point.
#### WHAT YOU'RE WALKING INTO
🥂 Standard drink waiting for you on arrival
🍸 Full cocktail and wine menu at one of Windsor's best bars
👋 Name tags — because remembering someone's name is the beginning of everything
🤝 A host who genuinely cares how you feel in the room
📍 Cosy indoors + heated courtyard out back
#### WHAT PEOPLE LEAVE WITH
Sometimes it's a number. Sometimes it's a new regular at your table. Sometimes it's just the feeling — quiet but real — that your people are out there and you've started finding them.
Kismetrix is where that starts.
#### TICKETS - [Book Here](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/june-14-blackwood-social-afternoon-drinks-for-singles-windsor-tickets-1990554475019)
🌿 Early Bird — $29 (first to go — always)
🌿 Standard — $45
Early bird pricing won't last. Grab yours before it moves.
#### IMPORTANT NOTES
🎯 This is a hosted social experience — not speed dating
🎯 A welcome drink is included; additional drinks and food are available at the venue
🎯 Gender balance is carefully aimed for but not always guaranteed
🎯 Respect, boundaries, and good energy are essential at all Kismetrix events
🎯 Tickets are non-refundable but transferable
KISMETRIX reserves the right to manage attendance and participation, including declining or removing entry where necessary, to ensure a positive and respectful experience for all guests.
#### ABOUT KISMETRIX
Kismetrix is Melbourne's premium real-life connection experience — built on the belief that the most important relationships in your life will not begin with a swipe. Every event is intentionally designed, warmly hosted, and quietly obsessed with how it feels to be in the room.
We're building something bigger than events. We're building the community Melbourne didn't know it was missing.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

Italian Conversation Hour
Ciao a tutt\*!
Let's meet Monday at 6.30pm at the Upper Arlington Library (Tremont Branch) in **Meeting Room A** to speak in Italian for 1 hour.
Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
