I've recently been given a Raspberry Pi and have been trying to come up with a good idea about what to do with it. I eventually decided on a Raspberry Pi powered weather station.

The idea is use the experience building the weather station to expand my knowledge in programming, electronics, meteorology, and data collection.

So far all I have is a small temperature sensor set up that takes a reading every 5 minutes. I'm looking to soon add an anemometer (wind speed sensor), and precipitation sensor. The readings from the Raspberry Pi are uploaded to my database where I use R Shiny to pull the data and present it on a webpage. With more data shiny makes it super easy to come up with interesting statistics and graphs.

I decided to brush up on my SQL so I've started a simple little notes app that I call 'Notez'. Once I get the web version running the way I want my idea is to make a native iPhone app to access the same database. This way you'll be able to do neat things like add alarms and notifications to notes to remind you about things.

It's very simple right now and I have no way for users to create accounts so you can login with email 'public' and no password to try it and see what others have written.

This is a simple spreadsheet to keep track of your collection of Dreamcast games. It contain a list of every North American release, independent release, and a few European releases that never made it to North America. You can set whether you own each game or not, leave a note regarding its quality, and it will automatically count them to let you know how many games you have in your collection and how many you are missing. There is even a second spreadsheet to keep track of official hardware that you own, in case you are trying to collect all the hardware as well.

This is a simple time series modeling project done by myself and two of my peers for a course at my university. We looked at Canadian unemployment rates (percentage of workforce currently unemployed) from the mid 1970's all the way up to February 2013.

The report is pretty straightforward and covers many of the topics discussed during the course.

Take a look if you're interested.

Probably my most significant project on the GPH Caanoo. This is a digital version of the board game Khet. A chess-like game involving mirrors and lasers.

The AI is only in the Caanoo version as that version is the most up-to-date. While the Windows version supports 2 players local or over the internet.
