A very simple thing, although I couldn’t find on Google some place to copy-paste off, so here it is:
So, been working hard on my projects, and discovered some interesting things in Android possibilities for frame animation. Last time I was using an HTML approach, because of memory consumption issues with using ImageViews. However now my approach is using View.onDraw(Canvas) to draw BMPs straight off files, in an asynchronous way, and it seems to work pretty good.
Let me tell you how I did it

The Unreachables [comic]
Just wanted to share of some code I’ve been writing.
So I wanted to create a food classifier, for a cool project down in the Media Lab called FoodCam. It’s basically a camera that people put free food under, and they can send an email alert to the entire building to come eat (by pushing a huge button marked “Dinner Bell”). Really a cool thing.
OK let’s get down to business.
Hi,
Wanted to report on some progress I made connecting the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrat smartphone and a 3M MPro110 pico (pocket) projector.
It is a fairly simple process, but I couldn’t really find any schematics of the video ports on either the phone (the 3.5mm headphones jack) or the projector (3.5mm composite video-in jack). So if anyone is trying to do this, they can find the wiring schematics here.
Hi,
I wanted to put up a quick note on how to use Kalman Filters in OpenCV 2.2 with the C++ API, because all I could find online was using the old C API. Plus the kalman.cpp example that ships with OpenCV is kind of crappy and really doesn’t explain how to use the Kalman Filter.
I’m no expert on Kalman filters though, this is just a quick hack I got going as a test for a project. It worked, so I’m posting the results.
Hi,
Just sharing a snippet of code. Part of a project I’m doing, I need to analyse the links in the Wikipedia corpus. While using the API is one solution, it doesn’t retain the order of where links appear in the page. It also returns links that are not part of the main text, which makes the linkage DB very cluttered.
So, I set out to parse the raw MediaWiki format all Wikipedia articles are written in, to get only the relevant links and in order. I call them contextual because they live inside the text and have context.
Initially I used string matching, and other complex string scraping parsing methods. It was a bust. There are too many end-cases to deal with. That is when I discovered PyParsing, the excellent parsing library. It did the job, and here are the results.

Number Saver gets a new look
Number Saver has been around for a while, but when I got around to it, it was always 
about the features. I felt the time is right to polish (even a bit) my Android UI skills and try and make it.
Ever wanted to try and download an mp3 file at your workplace, but couldn’t because corporate firewall policy was to block every url ending with the .mp3 prefix?

Congratulations Roy – Again!
I would (again) like to publicly congratulate my friend Roy, who got accepted for a PhD program in
Media Arts and Sciences, at the MIT Media Lab.
I am very happy the people at MIT was able to see your great talent.
I’m sure this program will get the best out of you, and that you will have very intense, interesting and exciting time
