Engineering on Friday 'toon: Code, Code Will Tear Us Apart, Again
Neo Nightclub, 1980’s New Wave Music and the Matrix inspired this week’s cartoon. Plus, I talk a bit about the first JAVA program I ever made.
All this and more after the jump, here.

Andy's Picks from Around the Web
Coming Thursday....
Andy's Video Pick of the Week
"ECU cracking" - with right to repair laws being shunned by legislators thanks to auto industry lobbyists and automotive modules locked down to VIN, a dead module means a vehicle is effectively scrap for either those shadetree mechanics who wish to DIY vehicle repairs or where support has been completely dropped, or is non-existent, for older vehicles.
Thanks to AI, the DIY vehicle repair community is resorting to AI to "clone" a replacement module, in this case an ECU obtained from eBay.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.
I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
