Nothing important here, just some last minute ramblings while reflecting back on 2011…<\/em><\/p>\n

January<\/strong> – Spoke at the ATT Developer’s Conference about a few of my Android projects
\nFebruary<\/strong> – Bought my first DSLR: a Nikon D3100
\nMarch<\/strong> – Discovered HDR photography
\nApril<\/strong> – Released first version of ViewerCV into the wild (Android Market)
\nMay<\/strong> – Another year of school done; another apartment move
\nJune<\/strong> – Attended CVPR 2011
\nJuly<\/strong> – CUDA programming fun at AccelerEyes (May-August)
\nAugust<\/strong> – Purchased my first Apple product ever: a Macbook Pro
\nSeptember<\/strong> – Verified: AccelerEye’s image convolutions beat OpenCV’s
\nOctober<\/strong> – Began learning OpenCL (and ported some Matlab optical flow code to OpenCL)
\nNovember<\/strong> – Discovered my new favorite photo editing software: Topaz Adjust
\nDecember<\/strong> – Perfected my linux-based photo workflow (digiKam + Topaz Adjust)<\/p>\n
