A few weeks ago, I collaborated with some co-workers to build 12 Balanced Mode Radiator speakers. We chose BMR speakers as they have a wide dispersion pattern without the artifacts […]
On my latest project here at Tome, I have been learning the ropes of the amazing Vue framework. It’s been a joy to learn and work with. But like all […]
For my Lab Day project, I worked on implementing speech recognition in a fully offline mode. This would detect a wakeword followed by a limited set of words for which […]
In an attempt to create a simple application to run across multiple platforms with minimum coding effort, I ended up finding the Kivy framework. Kivy is open source Python library […]
My son wanted me to make him a Harry Potter-like ‘talking portrait’ of myself for lab day. I had a few ideas on this and kicked it off at first […]
Recently, I’ve been learning Kotlin while working on Android apps. While doing this, Kotlin’s heavy use of Lambda functions and comparator parameters began to remind me of functional programming languages […]
