From self-healing to spirituality; to vision and enlightenment, sound has been used (and continues to be) to aid meditation and therapy. Whether or not you believe in its benefits is beside the point of […]

Complementary post to: Pop Quiz [And Solutions With Low Code!]
This post is a continuation of or complementary post to about using Excel and SQL for pop-quizes. Please read that first to get proper context…otherwise, this wouldn’t make much sense. As discussed in the post linked above, the SQL queries can be saved from Microsoft Query Editor to an external file. It’s really convenient because […]
Pop Quiz [and Solutions with Low Code!]
Every now and then I see some simple quizzes pop-up on Facebook such as: “Name a state without letter A in it.” The letter can be another, they just switch it around from time to time. This particular post is inspired by such posts. Sure we can go through all the states in our heads […]

Boom Beach: Break from seriousness
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! Every now and then I take a break from posting about analytics, programming, microelectronics, and STEM “stuff” to something fun! Because we all need it! Your brain needs it! Boom Beach is one of the rarest mobile games that I actually continued to play for […]

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 […]
Webfonts…why and how
Why do we even need to deal with webfonts and its various formats? I have enough pretty, cool fonts! The issue isn’t about how many awesome fonts you used when you developed your perfect web page but whether all your users have the same fonts. In all likelihood, they don’t (unless the fonts are ubiquitous)! […]
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 […]
My SW Projects – a subset of many
This page is a single, nifty starting point for various projects (apps, utilities, research tools, games, etc.) I developed for desktop, webapps, and mobile devices for intellectual curiousity and fun. They are free, and ad-free. No gimmicks. These will run on any modern smartphone, tablet, PC (see each description below as some are made to […]
