So I got a traffic ticket for not having up-to-date tabs on my 2001 Honda Insight. Oddly enough it was a lack of insight, more of an oversight really, that caused me to forget that I’d not paid for my vehicle licensing (called tabs because they give you a little tab for your license plate) […]

Random Thought Of The Day I felt a bit sick today, so I spent the day on the couch watching programs from pbs.org. I watched this one about Stonehenge and how new technologies were shedding light on things the original excavations in the 20’s and 30’s were unable to uncover. They also found more henge […]

Random Thought Of The Day Today’s RTOTD involves a prank I thought of while walking to work today. As I passed one of the many buildings between my home and office, I noticed the address number on one of them was 404. How funny would it be if someone hacked into Google Maps and made […]

I constantly have random thoughts that I think, with adequate time, could be expanded into a great blog post. But, today and for the foreseeable future, time is in short supply.

Now, I’ve been programming computers since I was 7 years old, back when a 2400bps modem cost a fortune and […]

I’ve recently had insulation installed under my house and, as winter approaches, I wanted to check to make sure no rats or pests were getting under there and wrecking it. I looked into building a little tracked robot with an IR camera, but the costs for this singular project were just too high. Instead I […]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I’ve been working so hard on so many things lately I’ve hardly had time to think, let alone write anything. However I found myself tonight with a handful of minutes to fire a few neurons and I started pondering the last few years of my life. Sometimes […]

Overall the IEEE ISTAS 2010 was a great experience, but not without its challenges… more on that in a later post. For now, I just want to say my talk went off without a hitch. I had 45 minutes but I think I went through it in something like 20, which was good because stretching […]

I’m up early today ripping apart my lame powerpoint presentation and trying to put it back together so it seems more, well, intelligent. Yesterday was filled with really great presentations. I wasn’t sure what the crowd would be like here but I should have known it would be a small number of people with a […]
