MSOE 2010 Senior Design Show

It’s been a while since I talked about my alma mater. The only time I made a post about MSOE’s Senior Design show was four years ago. Too bad I never wrote about my senior design project (I graduated in 2008). But then again, I was busy moving out of college and starting a job [...]

The Apple iPad Hype, in a Nutshell

The Apple iPad Hype, in a Nutshell

I usually don’t write about stuff with this much hype, but for some reason, I feel compelled to give my two cents on the subject. I’m not very impressed with Apple’s new tablet, and many others were left underwhelmed as well. The months of rumors and speculation that hyped up the device and set our expectations [...]
