2019 Garden part 1
Starting the 2019 garden today. Pulled out an amazing amount of winter hardy weeds, mostly bittercress. Planted some early snow peas, cold tolerant lettuce and some spinach. I see the first signs of the Rhubarb and Peonystarting to grow.

1-Wire Power Outlet
This is a computer controllable power outlet that uses a 1-wire dual switch. To not waste the dual switch I cut the shorting bar on the power outlet so that each of the 2 outlets on a standard duplex outlet are controlled separately. The PCB is made to fit snugly behind the outlet and still fit in a standard electrical work box.

Software Design for Handheld Devices
CSCI 4237 - Software Design for Handheld Devices - was a George Washington University, Department of Computer Science course in developing applications for modern day smartphones. This course was taught from Spring 2008 through the spring of 2012. This class will be a rigorous examination of the tools and techniques used for programming mobile devices in Java. The student will develop programs for a number of different phones including BlackBerry and Android phones. Attention will be given to the details necessary for developing fully functional applications such as games and business tools. Programs will be developed to run within the emulators that are part of the development tools, however real devices can be used if the student wishes to provide their own. We will also pay specific attention to topics that are unique to handheld devices: designing for limited screen size and constrained resources, cross platform development, portability, on-device testing and performance issues.

Seriously Orange Mushrooms
Occasionally I get out from in front of the computer and see the world. Here is some of the interesting places I've been, both far and not so far away. I found these growing in the neighbors' yard 9/30/2006. They are seriously orange and since orange is my favorite color I had to take some pictures. The average mushroom cap is about 3-4 inches; in diameter and they stand about 3 inches; tall. No, I didn't eat any. I'm no expert on mushrooms, I think these are Jack O'Lantern Mushroom (Omphalotus olearius), but I could be wrong.

Designing Embedded Internet Devices
Designing Embedded Internet Devices: A Practical Guide to Hardware and Software Design using the TINI Microcontroller

600 pages
CD-ROM included
Publisher: Elsevier Science
ISBN: 1-878707-98-1
Embedded Internet and Internet appliances are the focus of great attention in the computing industry, as they are seen as the future of computing. The design of such devices presents many technical challenges. This book is the first guide available that describes how to design Internet access and communications capabilities into embedded systems. It takes an integrated hardware/software approach using the Java programming language and industry-standard microcontrollers. Numerous illustrations and code examples enliven the text. All of the circuits and code have been fully tested. Based on the 8051 microprocessor, TINI is an internet-ready, embeddable, Java Virtual Machine with a powerful collection of hardware interfaces (I2C, CAN, 1-wire, RS-232, parallel, Ethernet).
