I'm a CS professor from #Oregon. My research projects involve deep convolutional neural networks applied to photos of (meteorological) #clouds and building video games (using #unity) to teach people about #earthquake preparedness. Hobbies include #fire #dancing, #boardgames (including #go), and #GameDesign (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/siva-afi:-the-fireknife-dance-of-samoa).

Unfortunately, due to supply chain issues, prices at thegamecrafter.com are about to go up. If you're planning to order Siva Afi: The Fireknife Dance of Samoa, now's the time!
With some excellent last minute help from the person who made the knife, my sister, and my sister's friend, we got the LED knife working in time for the show.
Dagnabbit! Our glow show for New Student Orientation is on Sunday and my LED fireknife has a loose wire. I doubt I'll be able to repair it because (a) I don't really know anything about electronics and (b) the guts are all glued deep inside the thick PVC pipe that makes up the body of the thing.
Backup plan is to just spin a knife with no wick attached, as a sort of ailao.
The Fire Marshal won't let us use fire right now because it hasn't really rained in a month and the landscape is too crispy.
The winner of the Siva Afi giveaway is ... @julie!
Send me a postal address and I'll ship it out.

Just two more days left in Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, which means time is running out to win a copy of my card game Siva Afi: The Fireknife Dance of Samoa.

Got a rare opportunity to spin some fire on the beach!

(Apologies for posting a link to The Site That Is Even Worse Than the Birdsite, but that's where the online fireknife community is.)
Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!
To celebrate, I'm giving away a copy of my card game Siva Afi: The Fireknife Dance of Samoa.

I'd also be interested in meeting any other fire dancers on Mastodon.
Put #SivaAfi in the olympics!

Honored to have *another* three time world fireknife champion try out my #SivaAfi card game.
I'll be running Siva Afi: The Fireknife Dance of Samoa online @playingcardsio this Saturday at 3 PM Pacific. Let me know if you want in. #Samoa #SivaAfi #Fireknife
My test copy of the printed game has shipped from @thegamecrafter! #SivaAfi
I've got Siva Afi set up to play on @playingcardsio! Contact me if you'd like to play this Saturday. CHEEHOO! #SivaAfi
Sometimes you look down at your hands and think, "I could keep spinning, but that much blood is probably going to make the knives slippery." #SivaAfi
Burned double knives for the first time. #SivaAfi
