Bog-a-thon 3
We traveled nearly 3,000 miles to bring Bog to what some say is the center of the technology world. Bog, meet San Francisco! The trip closed out the summer run we announced in Bog on Tour, following Bog-a-thon 1 and Bog-a-thon 2 in New York.
We spent August 10–16 meeting old and new friends, developers, fans, and many others. We traveled with a small caravan of friends from New York, including:
- Shea, who held an album release listening party at our Airbnb we dubbed ‘Bog House’.
- Niko, who has attended every Bog-a-thon to date. We deeply appreciate his dedication to our cause and thank him for all his contributions.
- Lucy, who held the first-ever World Computer Consortium meetup, with us and River Computer and other friendlies in attendance.
While developers in New York had crafted games and applications around Bog, San Franciscan developers notably used Bog’s components to build software that reflected the zeitgeist: memory systems, harness extensions, context-management scaffolding, and more.

Continue with Bog
There are no additional Bog-a-thons scheduled for the coming weeks, but we’re in active talks with a few organizations to co-host events in the near future. Stay in touch or follow @flowercomputers on X to learn about future events.
To build with the same pieces, start with the BogKit repository and follow the BogKit Quickstart. For examples of what those pieces can support, Sundew demonstrates retractable context for agents, figmog demonstrates a continuously updated local mirror of a Figma file, and ContextFlywheel demonstrates versioned working memory for autonomous agents.
