Let’s get Digital…or Analog!?
Pardon the stupid title for this post. It’s simply what popped into my head. Anyways…I’ve got a new episode of techbits! It’s been several months since the last episode, but hopefully my recent electronics projects have kept you entertained in the meanwhile. This time, I’m talking about analog and digital[…]

3D-Printed Glowing Puzzle
Ahh yes, the joys of college – awesome people, parties, concerts, quadrangles (they are important!), problem sets, final exams, and of course, awesome prototyping equipment. Take for example the objet 3D-Printer. We use one in Cornell’s Computational Synthesis Lab (CCSL), where I am employed as an undergraduate researcher. But the[…]
Arduino-Powered Jack-in-the-Box Toy
Remember the last design project I posted? Well this second one is for the same Physical Computing class, but is totally different. This time, the assignment was to create a Jack-in-the-Box toy. To make mine unique I added password protection and an alarm system to the box. Check out the[…]

Long Time no See…
So, it’s been awhile since I’ve actively updated my blog or my youtube videos. Even my presence on UltimateComputers.net has gone down as of late. As many of you probably know, I’m currently in my sophomore year at Cornell, studying electrical and computer engineering. This semester has been a tremendous[…]
