While searching for my ancestors, I had to access data from many different websites. I noticed there were different levels of protection against automated access depending on the site. In this post, I’ll list them and mention countermeasures you can take to bypass them anyway.

People buy products. But sometimes, they become interested in the story behind them, the future they’re working towards, and the people building it.

Companies can create a deeper connection with their audience by sharing the story behind their products and mission, rather than just listing features and benefits. By doing so, they can give people a reason to care about what they're building, not just what they're selling.

How I built a gaze-controlled 3D camera (and an eye-aim shooter) using MediaPipe, OpenCV, and Pygame, and most importantly no $1,000 eye-tracker required.

Eye-tracking has always felt like a luxury feature. The good hardware, such as Tobii bars, dedicated IR trackers, costs more than the games you'd play with it, and every tutorial seems to assume you already own one. So I asked the obvious question: how far can I get with the webcam that's already sitting on top of my monitor?

A gesture-controlled drone is a three-stage pipeline, not a one-liner. Stage 1: detect hand landmarks in real time (MediaPipe gives you 21 keypoints per hand). Stage 2 is the part most tutorials skip and turn those landmarks into a discrete gesture (open palm, fist, pointing), using either simple finger-state rules or a small neural net, with a buffer so noise doesn't fire commands. Stage 3: map each gesture to a drone command and send it over the drone's SDK (djitellopy for a DJI Tello), wrapped in a safety layer. Detection is the easy 20%. Classification, debouncing, and safe command mapping are the 80% that actually flies.
