Wow, it's been a while since I wrote anything here.
These days I'm back to piddling about with electronics/robotics. Sure, I can't seem to find my book on netting... but I don't think that's the reason I've swung around. :-)
I've pulled all my crap out of boxes, and set up what wifey calls a "cave" in the spare room. That's a pretty accurate description--I'm packed in with other stuff at a little desk in a small room.
My focus these days is on some sort of smart, extensible toy for kids (and hackers), which has got me doing a lot of reading about how Text-to-Speech technology works (since you can't have a smart toy that doesn't TALK!).
I'm all for making things difficult on myself, so my current project is trying to use the little LM3S1968 board (used this earlier in the year to make Lucas a game) to do some formant speech synthesis. I don't think this will be super hard, but there's enough tech/math involved to make it an interesting challenge.
We'll see how far this renewed interest takes me.
