Dog tag came! After a few misfires and incorrect orders (my website is not JacksBrian.com), my final dog tag came! I’ll be wearing this at all times to let emergency medical personnel know about what I’ve got.
Playing with my Brain I just got to try an EPOC (made by Emotiv). It’s a 14 lead EEG headset that interfaces with a proprietary software (the model that allows you to access raw EEG data and use the SDK is about $600 more expensive), and allows you to train the system for various things, such as making an object […]
I love my job. We all use headphones when we are coding to listen to music. The downside is we can never get each other’s attention. My colleague’s solution? Nerf.
2 Weeks – Fully Healed! Holy cow this looks good. After 18 hours with the same dressing and moisturizing lotion on it, it looks incredible. I’m going to keep moisturizing zealously for the next couple weeks. It does wonders. The little black dot is my suture hole which doesn’t go all the way to the magnet but is just a […]
SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY WITH A quick video of me messing around, with a bonus photo showing scar, placement, and a tiny shadow of the vascular arches in the pulp.

I’ve also come into contact with a good friend’s family member who works as a supervising nurse at a very large facility who has expressed interest in helping me out. Although I’m […]

It’s not because it’s hard to learn – on the contrary, I’ve found more educational opportunities in development than any hobby I’ve had. There are so many developers keen to train a young, green dev in the methodology that […]
Another Arduino Project One of my previous Arduino projects was an Engineering 1 final project where we had to receive a small foam ball into a box 24″x12″x12″, then launch it into the next box that is immediately next to ours. Our plan began with a spring loaded catapult system that quickly proved to be unwieldy. Due to […]
On the Struggles of Version Control… I love you, version control. I love all the time we spend together – merge conflicts, rebasing repos, accidentally committing vendor folders on my Composer projects… You really have saved my butt so many times – it truly appreciate you. But right now just isn’t working for us. I’m off at college! I mean the […]
