Fun Classwork: Combining an Autonomous Flight Controller with an FPV Style Drone Fall 2020 has been off to a rough start with covid-19 restrictions and unrelated personal medical emergencies that caused a late start to my semester. Fortunately the university was prepared for virtual courses because of covid, so I got lucky between accommodating professors and a situation that was already

Mid-quarantine project: teardown & documentation of 1989 laptop Much in the style of iFixit, but with my commentary, herein is the documentation of a 1989 Mitsubishi MP 286L laptop. Affectionately referred to online as a luggable, this laptop contained a few fun parts I'd not seen in a laptop before [MiniScribe HDD, whole PSU, full size mechanical keyboard]. I'll talk about the parts,

Geographic Information Systems (&/or Science) is art and methods of representing data as it relates spatially. This is most commonly done via maps and they're quite literally everywhere. Eg. On the news showing political representations, in parks showing location data of landmarks, in your realtors office, everywhere. Which is why I was so shocked when I found out about this field, I had

facebook, amazon, google  With all the limelight on Facebook with the Cambridge Analytica "scandal" and hearing about how all my data was up for grabs of the highest bidder, I decided to have my own look. What I found will shock you! Just kidding, it probably won't. Seemingly unlike most social media users, I didn't expected that the things I said online were completely private. Even as a

EdX HarvardX Over the past two weeks I've started an online course covering python basics, python research libraries, and some specific case studies. To start, edx.org is a fantastic site with a great cause: spreading knowledge. You can take free courses from leading institutions like Harvard, but enough of the unpaid promotion. My interest in this course stemmed from a few places. Namely

robobcb$ python3 classifier_challenge.py;  After watching a youtube video on machine learning by Siraj Raval, I was inspired. Seeing how 10 lines of python could utilize a machine learning library was enough to convince me that the C and JAVA I learned in uni were not enough. Time to learn another language. In this video "Intro to Deep Learning #1" Siraj lays out his code for
