Sears Point March 8-9, 2008

The M Coupe is back in working order after this little incident at Laguna Seca last December. The coupe was mostly ok, except for a bent SSR comp rim and a bent frame.

Fast forward to March 8 and 9th with the Golden Gate BMW Car Club of America. I had two great instructors and made some solid improvements to my line. I think I now have a solid handle on the esses (turns 8 and 8a, 9), one of the hardest combinations I've driven. It is much easier with the new suspension on the M coupe (the new bigger anti-sway bars make a big difference).

A big shout out to Paul, who hustled his stock '99 M coupe around Infineon. I never mastered the esses with the stock suspension, but he just nails it. I could car never get settled before the next turn. Way to go Paul.

Also, props to my friend Hakan, who after just one track event, got bumped up to driving the the C group. I have not doubt he'll be promoted again soon. :)

Now for some video:

Weasley Location Clock Project

Image
I wanted to surprise my wife for Christmas. She is a redheaded Harry Potter fan and mom, which inspired the idea to build a Weasley Clock. I got the idea in February, so I had 10 months to get the project designed and built. For those unfamiliar with Harry Potter and the Weasley Family, the Weasley wizard family owns a magical clock that instead of telling time shows the location of each family member with a separate hand. Here's an excerpt from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (J. K. Rowling, 2000): Mrs. Weasley glanced at the grandfather clock in the corner. Harry liked this clock. It was completely useless if you wanted to know the time, but otherwise very informative. It had nine golden hands, and each of them was engraved with one of the Weasley family’s names. There were no numerals around the face, but descriptions of where each family member might be. “Home,” “school,” and “work” were there, but there was also “traveling,” “lost,” “hospital,” “prison,” an

Coursera

Image
I have recently discovered Coursera . They offer hundreds of online courses in a wide range of subjects. Most courses are roughly equivalent to an semester-long undergraduate level course. Some are easier and some are equivalent to graduate-level coursework.  I got started with Andrew Ng's Machine Learning (ML) course . I have been curious about machine learning, but a little biased against the field based on my limited knowledge of Artificial Intelligence (AI). My impression (and that of many others) has been that AI has long over-promised and under-delivered. However, recent advances in ML and its use in analyzing big data sets made its potential impossible to ignore. When I started the course, I did not know that Professor Ng had helped found Coursera. Nor did I realize the extent of his influence in the field of machine learning . Learning these facts gave added weight to his personal anecdotes about applying machine learning techniques. When Prof. Ng includes advice on
