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 […]

Creating your own light show
With programmable LED strands, strips, and rings, it’s not only satisfying and fun but also a solid learning experience for any enthusiasts. Besides, who can ever get enough of tinkering with LEDs? In this project, I connect a 24 pixel ring LED module to an Arduino board, then wrote some light effects functions in the […]
Applying deep neural to my paintings
After animating some of my late family members from afar and yonder using AI (trademarked Deep Nostalgia by MyHeritage), I wondered if it can also bring my artificial people I painted (not from portraits, mind you…just my own imaginations of faces) on canvas with pen and acrylics. The results were outstanding, I think. Below are […]
Degrees, Diplomas, Certs, and more…
Every now and then I’m asked: “What certifications do you have?”…and honestly, I often forget to list all of them and since I’m a voracious learner, the list keeps on growing and growing. At any rate, I finally decided to catalog them (most of them, admittedly not all) and create a less-boring list (visual!) for […]
Putting together our Presidents (Infographic in Excel)
In several of my earlier blogs, I demonstrated working with raw data from multiple sources to generate visual and statistical analysis. You can find them in the following posts: Let’s Play With All The Presidents (Excel)-Part1 Let’s Play With All The Presidents (Excel)-Part2 Getting To Know Our Presidents In this blog, I share the combined […]
When you’re going “blank”! (Excel, Python)
You have data (of course, you do) and you have data that have something missing (of course, you do). The question is multi-fold around that…do we ignore the data, do we remove them from your analysis, or do we interpolate to fill in the missing data? And if so, what type of interpolation is best? […]
Understanding Step Charts (and creating them in Excel)
This is an example of a Step chart: And this is a line chart of exactly the same dataset. The dataset is of daily sales amounts in a fictitious salon. Which are shown below: Which chart makes more sense intuitively? The Step chart shows exact ups and downs and exactly when they occur clearly. It […]
A Very Simple Etch A Sketch Type Program (Python)
Here’s a fun, little application using Python. In this post, I demonstrate drawing lines using just the arrow keys on the keyboard (up/down/left/right). The drawing direction is determined by the arrow key pressed as shown in the clip below: With each keypress a line is drawn in the direction of the arrow head, which is […]
Generating Polygon Data With Mouse (Python)
In one of my previous posts, related to this topic, I shared the code and concept of reading polygon data and how to render them on screen with additional user-interaction. The post is linked below: Working with Polygon Data (Python) In this post, I share how to generate the data points for a polygon easily […]
Working with Polygon Data (Python)
In this post, I’ll show how to write a program that reads x,y coordinates for a complex shape (Polygon) from an external source. Then recreate the shape on a canvas with some interactivity. The application’s action clip is below: In the above clip, I’m reading datafiles that contain the coordinates as a series of contiguous […]
