Kevin X Brown: May 2010
http://kevinxbrown.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
There must be a better way. Thursday, May 27, 2010. Time to do a bit of blogging again. I've recently been asked about various wearable computing devices. here's a starter list, but I'd be interested in any other links you may have. These plug into a phone and can overlay data like directions / emails etc whilst travelling. Very accurate hand movement recognition. Accelerometer, temperature, pressure sensors - also can act as wireless hub for other sensors. Sixth Sense (wearable video/projector). Compili...

Kevin X Brown: October 2010

There must be a better way. Monday, October 18, 2010. Emotiv Headset and Locked In Syndrome. The salesman in question is called Shah, and Sarah (my wife) is his Occupational Therapist (OT), who saw the mind-reading headset from. Adding a second action adds a complication. Now the unit has to distinguish not just whether you think or don't think, but which. Thought you are having - much harder! Last week, after one week of use, Shah had managed to train the headset very well - though when tired the Emotiv...

Kevin X Brown: December 2010

There must be a better way. Friday, December 10, 2010. Emotiv Headset and Locked In Syndrome - Part 2. Today I visited Shah again to find out how he had got on using the Emotiv Headset, and the results were interesting. Shah was not using it very much now - because he had regained some movement in his finger - and this means that he will now have access to more traditional technology, such as a switch or maybe a computer mouse - very good news! And what about the headset? Links to this post. Work in Emer...

Kevin X Brown: November 2008
http://kevinxbrown.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
There must be a better way. Monday, November 24, 2008. So far, the mind reading headset market aimed at the regular consumer is quite small. I've come across the well advertised Emotiv. Headset, to be released early next year, and OCZ's "Neural Impulse Activator", shown right. Unlike the Emotiv headset, with 16 different sensors placed on different parts of the head, this unit only has 3, all placed across the forehead, inevitably giving slightly less function. So how is this mind-reading? Well, unfortun...

Kevin X Brown: September 2008
http://kevinxbrown.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
There must be a better way. Monday, September 15, 2008. I've changed my name, thanks to Google. Having a common name like Kevin Brown is a bit of a problem when it comes to getting a consistent, unique id on the various different web sites like blogger, twitter and the like. I have experimented with a range of ids. but over this weekend I decided I'd go for a more radical option - to change my name. Have no other Kevin Brown's in the world got a middle name starting with these letters? Links to this post.

Kevin X Brown: Solar Panel installation
http://kevinxbrown.blogspot.com/2008/12/solar-panel-installation.html
There must be a better way. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. Here's a photo of the solar panels which were fitted to our roof today by Rayotec. Did you consider solar heating panels at all? If so, what are the pros/cons compared to generating electricity? I guess one factor is that you couldn't sell excess hot water to anyone! December 16, 2008 at 6:28 AM. Hi @jt, yes we did - actually we had a combi boiler fitted a little while back, so that removed our hot-water tank! December 16, 2008 at 10:34 AM. Notes fr...

Kevin X Brown: October 2008
http://kevinxbrown.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
There must be a better way. Friday, October 24, 2008. I recently bought a viglen MPC. And installed Xubuntu it using some very good instructions. From Andy SC. I added a USB dongle for wireless, and another one for bluetooth (for later experiments). I then linked my current cost. Meter to it, to try out some code. I first needed to install a number of pre-reqs, so I thought I would document them here. First, I expanded the currentcost-python.zip into a directory, and ran the code:. Links to this post.
