There is a lot of talk (and rumors) about watches. I keep thinking “we don’t need no stinking watches”. I like not wearing a watch. Having something on my wrist decreases ease of melding with my computer. I like the flow-state where it is just me and the bits, working together to… read morePassionate, articulate designers talking about sensors in health

Last Wednesday, I was on a panel at Design West (the embedded systems conference). The panel was about using sensors in health applications. It was called Sensors Saving Lives and it was in the Expo Theater, right on the show floor, so there were lots of people walking by (and… read moreApril 24 2013
At the embedded systems conference, Star Simpson, Jen Costillo, and I did a talk called Start Tinkering. The goal was to get people interested in doing hobby projects: why we do it and how to get into it. We did a radio show, I announced at the inaugural podcast. But… read moreMarch 24 2013
I don’t normally do New Year’s resolutions. However, I did this year so here is my quarterly report. Oh, but I didn’t exactly do a normal resolution.

Because she enthusiastically wanted to play ball (even as she was vomiting), we thought… read moreStained glass: so many tentacles, so little time

A week ago, I started taking an intro to stained glass through Los Gatos recreation. As I was considering taking the class, a slumped glass artist friend (Kristin, IdleCreativity at Etsy) said she’d heard of the teacher and asked did I want to take the class. Well, yes, with having… read moreFebruary 01 2013
Hi! How are you? I hope things are going well. Still working on neat stuff? And the family, everybody happy and healthy? I’m doing well. It has been a little crazy since the start of the new year but I’m starting to get a handle on everything. We’ve been doing… read moreWebcast: Conducting a Technical Interview
October 25, 2011
Given a 30-45 minutes to select a new colleague, what do you ask? What can you determine in your time slot? How can you decide that this candidate is truly qualified? (Is it your fault if they don't work out?) This webcast answers those questions ...
Webcast: A Gentle Introduction to Embedded Systems Programming
November 16, 2011
Want to do some embedded software? Or worse, did you get handed a project and just want to know what is going on? There are some concepts you'll need to understand: volatile variables, hardware registers, static keywords, memory maps, bit manipulation...
