September 1, 2013I use Hakyll to generate this site, and I take advantage of the built-in teaser functionality to make the list of blog posts and their intro blurbs on the front page. Today I wanted to put those teasers on my Atom feed, also generated with Hakyll.

August 31, 2013Last June, I participated in the MAKE with MOTO event where a few Motorola engineers and a van full of electronic parts stopped at Caltech. I joined two other Caltech students (Justin Koch and Rob Anderson) and two Pasadena Art Center design students (Walt Chiu and Joeseph Kan) to come with some crazy design and finish a prototype for it within 48 hours. We came up with an American Sign Language (ASL) glove. A glove that could recognize ASL gestures and translate to text/speech/whatever in close to real time on a smartphone. We think that such a device could allow for better communication between deaf and hearing people.
