I’ve been tied up with a whole bunch of things in the past week. I will be posting next week so be sure to check back!
In the meantime, check out BBC’s “Fun to Imagine” with Richard Feynman.

Every now and then, I like to play around in the Signal Processing world – more so in the audio realm than anything else. The thought that sound can be represented by an array containing a whole bunch of (seemingly arbitrary) numbers ready for manipulation is just awesome!. Yes, I had a lot of fun in my signal processing labs at school and I still love messing around with GNU Octave post-college.
A friend of mine asked me if I could make a microcontroller play songs from Legend of Zelda – Ocarina of Time. I said yep! With the power of the VS1053b in the Sparkfun Music Instrument Shield and the MIDI library I had cooked up earlier, I was sure I would be able to do this one quickly…
Wow, what a crazy two weeks!
I have been off travelling from one end of the country to the other touring around and visiting hackerspaces in Vancouver, MIT and Toronto and met some incredible people during my visit to these spaces.
While in Boston, I had to opportunity to attend the Design East Conference and take part in a bunch of free classes offered by a whole bunch of different companies like Microchip, NXP, ST and a lot more! Oh, and I got some ARM based development boards from ST and NXP! I guess I’ll be busy tinkering around with those for a while.
