I have a problem with finishing things... once I learn enough to do it, a lot of the challenge is gone and I lose interest. That is why I stopped working on that website (it took a few hours) but it is also why I started this one.
This blog is all about documenting the few projects that I have actually spent the time to finish without losing interest. I hope that it serves two purposes. First, it provides a place for me to share my projects with others. Second and more importantly, I'm hoping that it will help me follow through with other projects that I might not otherwise.
To start this thing off, let me just list off some of the projects I might write about that I've finished over the past few years.
- Control Zune mp3 player with steering wheel button using a dsPIC (just finished, September '08)
- Folding basket opener/closer made from acrylic (finished March '08)
- Automated solver for minesweeper-like game using AutoHotKey and Matlab (finished April '08)
- Automated game playing program for a fun little web game called cyrkam airtos (finished October '07)
- One legged balancing robot, master's thesis at UCSD (finished June '07)
Moving on...
- Puzzle solver for an obscure online game using Matlab (finished around Jan '07)
- Magnet hovering apparatus (finished in late '06 I think...)
- "Worms" simulation using VBA in Excel (finished summer of '06)
- Puzzle solver for a sudoku-looking-but-far-from-sudoku game called Picross, using VBA in Excel (finished sometime in '05 I think)
Let me finish this off by saying that this blog is not about me, it is about my projects. Although I'm sure that writing about the things that interest me will inevitably paint some kind of picture about me, I'll try not to fill in the blanks myself.

Gabe, I find your projects amazing, and really hope to see more of´em.
On your website templeate, you say you were a Student of the University of California. What course? I´m guessing Eletronic Engineering. : )
Cheers, mate
