Sorry I've been away for a while guys! I've been trying to juggle school work as well as preparing for the big wedding day!
I do have an update for those interested which is the restart of projectini! I've put together a design and uploaded a prototype of the site here. Now you may be asking a couple of questions in regards to why I chose this design.
Personally, I felt keeping it simple and likable...

Alternate Reality
Recently, I posted my thoughts on alternate reality. It turns out that there is a company currently working to make this come alive! While they are very reserved on their technology, You can assume their end result by watching the video on their home page. You can find them here: http://www.magicleap.com...

Projetini - Project End
So after giving it some thought, I decided not to pursue the projectini project as I was moved to a new position in my current company and won't be able to manage this project and the other. As of now, I'm setting the status of this project to suspended in hopes that I can reopen it or someone would be willing to develop my idea. Priorities are a definite staple in my life, and considering my new...

As Promised
As promised here are some pictures and a video of the robot I've created. The robot works either through the WAN (Internet) or LAN (Home or Office Network). The logic is mostly done in an Arduino board with Ardumoto shield enclosed within the black box. I'm using a 12v 5ah battery with attached charger...

Inexpensive Telecommuting robot
Recently I've been involved on a side project funded by my current employer to build an inexpensive telecommuting robot. I am proud to say that I have successfully completed this task and believe that I could sell it at a $500 price point. This is a full, tall robot that can be accessed via any machine as long as they are within a network. I will post more on this tomorrow with pictures and video.
Good...

VR vs AR - Possibility?
I've been pondering what I can do with the oculus rift goggles that is unique and entertaining. Interestingly enough, I had a dream of something that I referenced to as Alternate Reality. Virtual Reality puts you in a virtual environment while Alternate Reality modifies your current environment. I'll add this to the list of project Ideas as a thought. As far as making this work, I'm thinking that...
Projectini - No bueno
Greetings!I haven't heard from the designer helping me with this so I'm looking for a designer willing to donate some time for this project. In the mean time, I'll be taking a shot at some of the design elements to try and get something out to the public by next month. I wouldn't want to loose the Google entrepreneurship opportunity that landed on my lap.
Oh we...
System Shock + Oculus Rift + Unity = Amazing
I've decided to post a couple of threads online to see if I can get any support for the System Shock 3 project. As of now, I'm hoping to create a working demo that'll grab further interest of the project. The demo will be compatible with the Oculus Rift goggles and should feature a handful of the assets and graphics used for the System Shock 3 title. There are copyright issues to this, but I'm hopeful...

It's be a while!
I haven't posted in a long time but I figured I'd post one of my recent ideas. I'm currently in the process of building a robot from scratch and I realized that what we need is an operating for robots. Now i'm not talking about a linux distro.. I'm talking a new operating system created from scratch that would be better suited for the integration of arduino devices and controllers.. I'll add this...

Mock Ups!
Still in the process of creating Projectini (AKA Unity or Project X). Here are a couple of interactive wire frames I came up with. These should give me (and you!) a decent idea of what the website will contain and how it will work. Aside from a couple of eye sores, I gotta say that the logged in portion encourages me to complete my site so I too can use its tools!
Check the mockups out he...

System Shock 3 Anybody?
I felt somewhat nostalgic last night and went back to play some of my older games. I then remembered that my all time favorite game System Shock was on my PC and I proceeded to play for a bit wondering how nice it would be for a System Shock 3.
I then asked my self, Why not create it your self?
After giving it some thought and doing research on the trademark and rights to the game, I've concluded...

Decisions Decisions
Still having a tough time trying to figure out a good domain name with the team. I'm trying to find something that will be catchy and easy to remember. Something that goes well with the logo as well. I do however have some of the sitemap done and some of the mock ups courtesy of https://moqups.com/.
I've been toying with the idea of VR and Unity as well. There is so much potential out there...

Project Unity or {x}
I've been working to get the project unity started. I have a designer working with me to create the graphics which I believe is a good way to start. I've already drawn up the wire frames for some of the pages as well as created a sitemap for most of the public facing pages.
I'm really excited about seeing this thing in action, While I was site mapping the "Scrum Room", I felt like this alone can...

Google Start-up
Greetings!
I received a neat email from Google that stated that my project had been selected to be a part of Google's Startup launch program. This is incredibly exciting as it provides an amazing opportunity for my project to materialize using the provided Google tools and technologies. As of now I'm forming a team to get a good plan going for this site. I'm also considering using the Startup weekend...

Unity3d start
Greetings!
Nothing much to post today except for my new found interest in Unity3d and Blender. I'll probably be learning this just so I can have a little bit of modeling experience. It definitely can't hurt rig...

Ideas, Ideas, Ideas!
Greetings!
I've always been one to think outside the box and think of possible projects that can help the open source community. While driving during one of my long commutes to Ohio from Virginia, I began to think of something I describe as Project {X}.
The idea came to me when I was thinking of creating a game similar to angry birds. I thought to myself that while I can create all of the logic...

Check if page is cached using Jquery and .Net
Greetings!
A couple of months ago I hit a brick wall when trying to test if a page being loaded was cached or not. To clarify, if a user were to hit "log Out" and redirected to a log out page (while obviously destroying the sessions of course) but then hit the back button, the page would load successfully as if it had not been logged out in the first place (front-end wise). To many .Net developer...
Documentation
Greetings!
Creating documentation can such a pain sometimes. Specially when the documents deal with web applications and you need to reference every single plugin you've used on a site. Perhaps there should be a push for an automatic documentation writer? Realistically, I can't imagine it would be that hard to implement as we reference plug-ins in a predictable manner such as <script src="etc..etc"></script>....

This is my first post in a long line of posts. This blog is going to be about any code I write and interesting methods I find out on the web. I will even post up snippets and Ideas I come about in hopes that it helps the community.
