Escape the Software Development Paradigm Trap

This is an article I wrote for Embedded Systems Design magazine about why software tends to be so unreliable, and some alternative mental models that suggest improvements. I've had a lot of responses, both agreeing and disagreeing; where I have the writers' permission, I have posted their comments for all to see.

A Crash Course in Digital Electronics

This is a set of articles I wrote a few years ago, aimed at the high-school hobbyist, introducing some of the concepts of digital electronics. These were intended for use in a student program which never came about, and I have yet to finish the set. But anyone is welcome to make use of them!

Embedded Web Servers as User Interface

I gave a presentation at the 2008 Embedded Systems Conference in Boston. I've posted the white paper along with some code samples that were used in my presentation.
