Missing Disks? Matthijs Hollemans, fellow audio enthusiast and author (check out his recently published book: Code your own Synth Plug-Ins) kindly informed me that he didn’t receive the CDROM with his second printing of Audio Anecdotes Volume 2. This is frustrating since my contributors and I worked so hard to make the algorithms and concepts […]

‘Here’ no evil
I am very disappointed to learn of the dissolution of Doppler Labs and the discontinuation of their Dubs passive hearing protectors and highly innovative active Here One bluetooth ear buds. Doppler created a new product category for a consumer product designed to augment normal people’s hearing. To pull this off requires solving many audio engineering challenges […]
Entrainment (for the New Year)
I just saw Ikeguchi Lab’s awesome demonstration of 100 metronomes becoming synchronized via mutual entrainment (the metronomes are arrayed on a hanging platform to facilitate) and thought this was just the thing to share as we say farewell to 2016 and look forward to 2017. Let’s collectively make 2017 a healthy, happy, safe, and prosperous […]

Had a good if commercial Maker Faire
I have a bit of an odd relationship with Maker Faire. I love the great people behind the Faire at Make Magazine/O’Reilly (and hope their recent troubles have been overcome), and the Makers themselves; am amazed by the tremendous community support as countless thousands attend Maker events, now around the world, with their children, the next […]
Doppler Here. Where? Kickstarter…
A hearing aid for the rest of us? No, don’t tell the FDA, but read on. When I learned that Gints, an old SGI buddy and fellow signal processing advocate joined a small started called Doppler Labs I was curious so I visited their website and learned about Dubs their only product (earplugs with equalization […]

See you at Maker Faire Sunday
Yell if you want to connect with me at Bay Area Maker Faire this Sunday!
Parallella Arrived!
Kudos to the Parallella team for shipping! I just received my Parallella and now need to find some time to power it up and find an interesting project. Soft Radio here I come? Just to recap the parallella is a $99 board featuring the Epiphany 16 (or 64) Core ‘accelerator’, a Zynq-7000 Series Dual-core ARM […]
Bluetooth 4 Low Energy Devices: iBeacon, Gecko
I am very excited by the capabilities (admittedly non-audio) that Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy offers and some of the interesting product ideas that are popping up. I just pledged to the Gecko indiegogo project (after Steve Wozniak mentioned it) that wants to build smart-tags with sensors that notify your BT4 equipped phone (or other device) […]

See you at Maker Faire 2013
Bay Area Maker Faire is this weekend: May 18th and 19th! While it is melancholy not to be rushing to polish details of a booth about now (we were hoping to have something to demo using the exciting, progressing, but still non-available, Parallela $100 64-Core/FPGA ‘Supercomputer’) I am looking forward to visiting as civilian. Please contact […]
