The value of online (virtual) conferences is increasing in leaps and bounds as travel becomes more problematic and time is increasingly at a premium. Some of these events “stand proud in the crowd,” as it were. Allow me to expound, elucidate, and explicate.
When it comes to embedded space (where no one can hear you scream), the virtual extravaganza on … Read More → "Only the Most Epic Embedded Online Conference Ever!"
My friend and EEJournal colleague Max Maxfield writes for several publications.

This series of articles is now downloadable as a PDF bundle. The series was two years in the making and sells for the low, low price of £20.

Have you heard tell of the Rust programming language and how it is growing to be a serious contender in embedded space (where no one can hear you scream)? If not, then make yourself comfortable, “O my Best Beloved,” and I shall babble, blabber, and blather on this topic, as is my wont, but first…
If you are a non-programmer (or even if … Read More → "Rust Rules! (Programming Language-Wise)"
Until relatively recently, robots have been kept in cages. This isn’t to stop them from getting out (although I have a niggling notion that day may come)—rather, to prevent humans from getting in. I’m thinking of honking big industrial robots in facilities like automobile factories.
While members of this class of robots are awesomely good at what they do (picking … Read More → "The Rise of the Robots (Cobots)"
I have seen the future, and it’s going to be even more amazing than our wildest dreams. Do I have your attention? Good. Then I’ll begin…
