Using locality sensitive hashing to compactly represent k-mers

K-mers are frequently used in bioinformatics to profile and compare genomes. This article describes a technique for compactly representing long k-mers with locality-sensitive hashing.

Drawing arbitrary shapes with OpenGL points

Through some clever mathematical definitions, we can use OpenGL "point" primitives to draw any kind of vector shapes. This article explains how that's done and how it applies to my Google Summer of Code 2015 project.

Controlling a servo with an AVR microcontroller

Servos are useful small motors with applications in robotics, RC cars, and others. Here, we describe how to use an ATTiny44 to control its position.
