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 […]

Free custom icon based on my original painting: Oscar
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 […]
New Book Published: Hello Arduino!
Today (August 4th, 2021), my 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 years old to 100) who wants to create electronic […]
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 […]
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 […]
Raw Data to Machine Learning to Decision-Tree: Excel
Machine Learning in Excel? Isn’t ML the new thing, new algorithm that’s only done in the Cloud using R and Python? Nope! We’ve been doing in Excel for many years!! It’s only recently getting a lot of attention with Cloud and large datasets and made much, much simpler to use for today’s Data Scientists— but […]
Did your promotion work?
In an earlier blog How Well Are Your Incentives Working? I shared methods on how to calculate the various chances of success based on some campaign data (e.g. new sign-ups for membership) from various trials using Binomial distribution. In this post, I show how to determine if events occurred due to random chance or affected […]
Estimating reading time for any content (Python)
We occasionally see reading time estimates in online news, blog sites, and even in promotional contents. This estimate is important because it tells the reader upfront how much the content may take to read. There are several extensive studies done internationally (in English speaking countries) that demonstrate that people tend to read messages/contents up to […]
