Sylver

Wikipedia has a note that Silvy De Bie left in February, but there is no reference to this yet on the Sylver website. It's unfortunate, I really liked their music. Probably as they got older, wouldn't it be nice to move on from music and fame and live a little more normal life?

Javascript end loop wrapper

I was taking an HTML5 Game Development course and saw a neat trick for wrapping at the end of a sequence:

index = index + 1 % array.length;
It saves 3 lines of code, the usual:
index++
if (index > array.length) {
index = 0;
}

Robo Hamster

Picked up an Arduino Shield last week and a Robo Hamster. Robo is short for Roborovski. He seems pretty smart though a little messy. It's interesting a golf ball sized creature can do so much.
