I've updated my Car PC section with information on the LED sign and the Voice Command solution.

I spent most of the day filming and then editing this video of my car PC setup, featuring some new stuff that hasn't made it into the Car PC section yet. Check it out on youtube.

So, it turns out that for some reason, the CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) data for the Toronto Fire Services is publically available on the web. I first turned this into a public RSS feed that anyone can use. Here it is. The RSS feed contains additional data, such as latitude and longitude. But I figured a more useful view would be a live map. Behold! A live Google Map of current incidents. Enjoy.

Today, I was fed up with the appalling state of the traffic camera resources around on the net. A bunch of different websites have links to the cameras, but nobody (including the official City of Toronto website) seems to be able to agree where the cameras really are. Also, there's a bunch of cameras missing. So, I put a few hours in, drove around the city for a bit, and was able to find all the lost cameras. I've put together a Google Maps application that you can use to view all cameras. Check it out here!

The first bit of documentation for my latest project, my car computer, is online!

I've added some pictures and a video of my latest project, the computer controlled LED Sign that now adorns my wall!

I've updated the TTC schedule application... all routes and times updated to Oct 29, and also it's now in a ZIP file so you can easily install it on other platforms (not sure if it will work, though). Good luck!

People sometimes wonder how much the things in my smart home cost. I've added a new section to answer those questions.

I finished a new project, and in only one week! It's a Digital Picture Frame.

I've created a page for the LED Clock project, which has been proudly hanging on my wall for several months now.
