Here’s a straight-forward circuit with a LED light that’s controlled by my code downloaded to an Arduino controller’s chip running the “light show”. It starts with red color of LED set to max RGB(255,0,0)…then slowly dims the red as green value is increased incrementally to max. Then green is dimmed while blue is increased incrementally […]

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 […]

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 […]
Analyses of Critical Words & Speeches!
In one of my earlier blogs, I shared the techniques and code to create Word Cloud using Python and Excel together in this article: Word Cloud III – Python & Excel Together Today, building on that, I’ll analyze some of the most historic speeches and/or documents that every kid should read and even memorize part […]
vCards to/from CSV/Excel (and more)
vCards. What are they? Here’s a blurb from wikipedia:vCard, also known as VCF, is a file format standard for electronic business cards. vCards are often attached to e-mail messages but can be exchanged in other ways, such as Multimedia Messaging Service, on the World Wide Web, instant messaging or through QR code. They can contain […]
