Metal Band Bot is a Twitter bot which uses a Recurrent Neural Network to think up a brand new metal band name at two minutes to midnight every night.

My MSc thesis describes an approach for automatically classifying audio signals using an automated machine-learning system implemented with the Google Tensorflow machine learning library.

Ages ago I made a little Arduino hack which was a simple LED matrix with three faces; happy, neutral, and sad. I recently found a photo of it so thought I’d post it. It was called Harold. I’d like to say it stood for Helpful Assistant Redisplaying OnLine Data but in truth I just like the name Harold. :)

BBC Radio Tree is a Christmas tree you can tweet! The tree lives at @bbcradiotree on Twitter although in real life it lives in BBC New Broadcasting House in the Radio 1/1Xtra production offices. BBC Radio Tree will change colour depending on the hashtags you tweet and it will send you a selfie back to show you your awesome colour scheme!

Last Christmas I had an idea for a tree in our office which you could interact with but ran out of time last year so this year I decided to build it, and the BBC Radio Tree was born! The tree lived in Broadcasting House where we work; in the Radio 1 / 1Xtra production offices.

During an IDEO Make-a-thon our team was tasked with looking at bicycle safety. For my part of the task I looked at a hardware solution and using an Arduino UNO, a LED/LDR sensor and some other components I hacked up a prototype bike light.
