Technology

I think its safe to say that I'm a fan of technology. There are

I finished my first actual Arduino Uno project today. I saw an example of the LED fade project on the Arduino learning website. I quickly implemented it using a green LED across pin 11 and ground, but I was dissatisfied with the abruptness with which the brightness changed at the peak of brightness.

I decided that I would make a minor change. Instead of incrementing or decrementing the brightness by a fixed delta, I would calculate the brightness as the sine function of a constantly increasing radian.

Internet service providers are an ever-evolving bunch. They find their policies constantly changing to keep the lion's share of their customers happy enough not to switch, which usually means that their policies are based on the judgement of marketers and not technologists. In the end, I think we end up with a last-mile internet that fails to give people the Internet we all deserve, and we end up with one that we tolerate. Naturally, that makes people like me mad.
