Bitten by the Microcontroller-Geek bug

Ever since ECE4670 (actually since the summer before I took the course), I’ve always wanted to pursue these sorts of electronic DIY projects as an intelligent hobby. In fact, after completing my final project for the class and completing my sole final exam, I hooked up an old school imitation SNES controller to an arduino …

Different Fields, Same Concepts

It’s finals week and I have a final on Monday morning that I haven’t started to study for yet. I’m trying to, but I’m having trouble motivating myself. Thus, a blog entry. One thing I learned for sure this semester – what I DON’T want to continue pursuing. I DON’T want to pursue circuit design …

The Origin of "Nerd"

So I learned this in a class that I eventually dropped. In the middle of lecture he wanted to take a break so he started talking about where the word “nerd” came from. Basically, back in the day, the people who would go out and party and drink on Friday nights and/or weekends would notice …
