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)! […]
Vincent Willem Van Gogh – Immersive Experience (Seattle 2021)
I dream my painting and I paint my dream. I put my heart and soul into my work, and I have lost my mind in the process. Vincent Van Gogh Vincent Willem van Gogh only lived 37 years (1853-1890). His brother Theo was his closest confidant for life. Van Gogh killed himself in July 1890. […]
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 […]
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? […]
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 […]
