• Composing 2D Similarity Transforms Tue, 23 Dec 2008 03:15:06
  Similarity transforms come up often in computer vision and gestural interfaces.  The results below are a straightforward application of definitions, but didn’t come up in a quick web search, so I though they may be useful to document here on the blog.

• A TechStars Summer Tue, 02 Dec 2008 02:50:02
  We had a great time this summer as one of the 10 companies that participated in TechStars. I took a lot of photos, and I finally got around to uploading them to the internets.

• Coffee: Friend of Foe? Mon, 05 Jan 2009 17:46:22
  Depending on what camp you’re in, it is not difficult to find research supporting the pros and cons of coffee consumption.

  I am shocked at how much time it took me to get git-svn working on my mac. I use MacPorts, which works well most of the time. Sometimes it has problems which makes me really wish for apt-get on OS X. apt-get normally has worked much nicer for me, but can have its issues too. [...]
