Built a small turret-mounted camera using an esp32. Originally launched a webserver to control the turret; began working on custom C program (using websockets) to communicatin with and control the device.
Developing my wave simulations more. Attempting to accurately model reflections. Wrote some compute shaders to assist; framegen is still too slow.
Spent a weekend to sit down and write some HDL, for fun instead of for work. Felt the need to practice a bit, and the desire to do things my way. It's a very simple instruction set, and the CPU itself is implemented as a behavioral-style state machine. It's written in verilog. This project was also good practice writing testbenches--for each module. The memory is designed to have interfaces for multiple processors; I have some ideas that will make use of that feature. I also set aside some peripheral registers to read the switches and control the lights--I wrote some custom machine code to do some arithmetic and loaded it into the memory.
Found an interesting video on learning the fretboard. Spent more time writing a tool than actually learning guitar.
I have been pursuing insights into the nature of waves, and the potential applications of those insights. This marks my first attempt at simulation.
Playing around with the kinect. It is a surprising capable sensor for ~$100, capable of generated depth maps and tracking information.

I wanted a bike rack that would hold the bike inside my Land Cruiser, while still allowing me to easily store and remove it. The rack slides in and out. 3D printed arms were installed before actual testing. It worked; unfortunately, sliding the bike in and out and leaning it between the outside wall and my bike toolbox was easier. It did make a good ad hoc rack for working on my mountainbike.

I used to think a sleek, fancy-looking website was a worthy goal. Now I accept that less is more.
