8/21/2011: I love 8-bit games. You know, the ones that showed up in Arcades in the late 70's and 80's, back when the graphics were terrible, and yet people still went to arcades. Recently I bought a Gameduino VGA adapter, which lets the Arduino microcontroller generate VGA video signals as well as stereo audio. I couldn't find information about how to create my own sprites, so I learned. Along the way, I documented the process. Click Here for more information.
7/2011: I've been working on Project Euler Problem 343. It appears to take a long time for a PC to compute in a brute-force manner. My thoughts are that Number Theory (the study of integers) holds the solution. I'm also using this as an opportunity to learn more about CUDA Programming (parallel programming which is executed on graphics cards). It's also an opportunity to learn about FPGAs, and designing hardware to compute specific algorithms.
9/2010: We closed HackRolla. In the end, the University takes everything from students that's needed to make a successful hackerspace: Money, time and resources. Thank you to everyone who believed in this dream.
8/28/2011: We launched a balloon into space (to an altitude of 107,854ft), and successfully recovered the capsule. It carried a camera and tracking system designed by me. Click here to see the photos it took, and to read about the last project of HackRolla.
8/21/2011: Added Gameduino Sprite Creation Tutorial. Click Here for more information.
8/28/2010: Launched a balloon into space, tracked it from the ground, and recovered the capsule. Click Here to see the photos it took along the journey.
6/16/2010: We are now offering free batee.com Corvette Info CDs with a donation of $25 or more.

6/16/2010: Changed the layout to be compatible with mobile phones.
If you have a spare C4 Corvette cluster that you could donate to this project (or loan to me), please email me at bryan@batee.com. I'd like to update the photos on my repair guide!
