Indeed, “Climate change” has been the hot topic for the last couple of weeks. It even surpassed the hubbub around the pandemic the world is experiencing for the past 2 years and counting! Thanks to COP26…the gathering of the “relevant” world leaders to discuss top, pressing issues of the world, the list of which contains […]

Google honors the father of fiber optics
I found this out “accidentally” today (November 4th) while searching something on the Web, from Google.com landing page. This is what it looked like: As I looked at the binary numbers in their cartoony animation, I see they are:010010110100000101001111 which then translated to text, decimal, and hex are as follows: ASCII Decimal Hex 01001011 K […]
BACTERIAL GROWTH SIMULATION (Binary Fission)
Here, I present a quick simulation application (runs in the browser) of population growth of bacteria that mutiplies following binary fission reproduction. Basically, it’s the division of a single cell into two or more cell and the regeneration of those parts to separate cells resembling the original. To play the simulation, just navigate to the […]
Games by me—all in one place
This page is a single, nifty starting point for various games I developed for desktop and mobile for intellectual curiousity and fun. They are all free, and ad-free. No cookies. No gimmicks. These will run on any modern smartphone, tablet, PC…anything that can run a modern browser, you can run them on it. Below is […]
Another fun game: Pick Out
Greetings. This month, I developed another game as a web application (HTML5) that employs auto-scaling, sound, and responsiveness on all platforms that support a browser. That means, PC, tablets, smartphones, etc. You can use touch or mouse as inputs. It’s based on the simple and classic game concept where you get to pick an “odd […]

In this post, I’m sharing an icon based off one of my original canvas paintings of Oscar fish. A snapshot of the painting is below (shown in smaller size than original): The original canvas is not for sale, however, a high-resolution, full-size digitized version is available as a NFT only on this official NFT exchange […]
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and my results
Some of you may have heard of Myers-Briggs “test” in your career or from friends. I believe the first time I took the evaluation was probably in late 90s to early 2000. I’ve recently retook it and, here, will share some of my self-discoveries. First, a very brief intro to MBTI:MBTI provides information on the […]
An important personal milestone!
Today marks another special day in my humble life’s timeline. Today, my first ever book went live worldwide on Amazon.com (+ .uk, .de, .fr, .es, .it, .nl, .jp, .br, .ca, .mx, .au, .in as per different markets) in both eBook and paperback formats. The book titled “Hello Arduino!” is a fun book for anyone (12 […]
Safe disposal of 6-pack rings killers
The six-pack yokes or rings are a set of connected plastic rings that are used in multi-packs of beverage and beer cans in the USA. These are discarded carelessly by most Americans and even though you might put them in recycle cans (if your city has the facility like mine does), they somehow end up […]
Arduino: Building a music tempo controller with simple components
In this project, I built a simple system where we can play a tune/music through a speaker (sound/tone is of our choice) and while it’s playing, we can control the tempo in real time. For the speaker, I used an inexpensive passive buzzer hooked up to a 10K resistance potentiometer. I insert a turning knob […]
