**One-Color Challenge** This week, we’re going unichrome — **monochrome, but in color** Join me in a search for **one color at a time** on the streets of Kowloon. Your challenge is simple but powerful: **fill your frame with a single dominant color** — red, blue, green, yellow, pink — any color you choose. No mixing allowed. **Stick to just one color for each shot.** **Why This Challenge?** This is one of the best exercises in **seeing color more intentionally**. It trains your eye to notice subtle variations, patterns, and repetition — and to compose creatively within a major constraint. **Your Rules:** * Pick **one color per photo** * You can shoot multiple colors across your images, but **each frame should contain only one, with shades and tints of that color.** * **Neutrals (black, white, gray)** are allowed to support your composition * Sometimes the **color is the background** and the subject will be the neutral color. * Avoid anything that brings in secondary colors — stay focused on the task * Most importantly: **make compelling images** — composition still leads the way **What to Look For:** * Clothing, signage, vehicles, walls, packaging, umbrellas, awnings, stuff on the ground. Things we've looked for before! * Repetition of the same color — or one big burst of it * Reflections, shadows, and surfaces that reinforce the dominant color * Unexpected places where your chosen color pops * Human moments that fit the color palette — a red jacket in front of a red wall, a yellow umbrella juxtaposed with another yellow umbrella **Tips:** * Zoom in or go wide — just make the color **the dominate element** * Use neutral backgrounds to isolate and emphasize your chosen color, or just the opposite. Or it’s all color—it’s a world of possibilities * Don’t force it — let the color come to you This challenge is all about seeing the city **through a different filter** — one color at a time. It’s harder than it sounds. And that’s what makes it a challenge **Bonus Challenge:** * Do I even have to say it: **one color all day!** ### **Meet at 2:15 sharp:** **Cheung Sha Wan MTR Exit C2**, street level, 2:15 PM sharp. From there, explore the surrounding streets, Its an area that is more open, less crowed and seems to have big blocks of color. (I'm just trying to find new areas to explore all the time!) ### **Regroup between 3:45-4:00:** **BOHOLIC**, G/f, Sea Panorama Court, 561 Fuk Wa Street, Cheung Sha Wan. 3:45-4:00PM Reservation under Robert, and we'll probably seated upstairs. Please stay a while to share your experience, thoughts, and maybe some images while grabbing a drink (or more). **After all this:** Please post 5-7 of your images from the shoot. And PLEASE, be a participant in commenting on other images. Gut reactions and general comments are always welcome. Comments can be subject-related, but better are those that address image-making. It's part of the process and valuable for your fellow photographers.

**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 **Abstract** TBD **YouTube Link** TBA

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

As you may or may not know--I didn't until late last year--Aristotle wrote extensively on "friendship" in the Nicomachean Ethics. After 69 years the concept of friendship still creates questions and uncertainty. I had close friends in high school and for a few years after high school but our interests diverged and people moved all over the country so it was hard to maintain connections. * So if I/you haven't talked with a friend for several years, are you still friends? Are we friends who meet at Drunken Philosophy or Omnipresent Atheists? * Can you be friends with someone with whom you have virulently divergent political views? Sartre and Camus could not. * Aristotle regarded friendship as essential to a good life, not merely an added "bonus." Do you agree? * In the Nicomachean Ethics (Books VIII and IX), he claims that wealth and power are meaningless without friends. Trump has wealth and power but seems to have no real friends, but wealth and power seem meaningful to him in perverted ways. Can you have meaning in your life without friends? * Do men and women view and maintain friendships in different ways? * Aristotle categorizes friendship into three types, based on what forms the bond: * **Utility**: Based on mutual benefit, but this type is fragile and ends when the usefulness ceases. * **Pleasure**: Based on shared enjoyment (e.g., humor, hobbies). Common among youth but fades as interests change. * **Virtue (The "Complete" Friendship)**: Based on mutual respect for each other's character and goodness. You wish good for the other for their sake, not yours. * **Key Principles of "True" (Virtuous) Friendship:** * **Permanence**: Virtuous friendships last a lifetime whereas those based on utility and pleasure are fleeting. * **Reciprocity**: Requires mutual goodwill; secret or unreciprocated affection does not qualify. * **The "Second Self"**: A true friend is "another self"—their virtue helps you understand and improve yourself. * **Time and Intimacy**: Deep ("complete") friendships are few, built on time and shared experiences. * **Self-Love and Friendship:** * Good friendship starts with being a friend to yourself. * They distinguish shallow egoism (chasing honors) from real self-love (pursuing virtue). * A virtuous person’s pleasant self-company allows them to be a stable, good friend to others. * Aristotle argues that one's social circle ultimately reflects one's character—a view with striking relevance today. Well--the Drunken Philosophy social circle certainly reflects good character!

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
