My New Year's project, ICanHasNoise - Noisy backgrounds with just a URL

In plain words

ICanHasNoise generates noisy background sounds accessible through a simple URL. Launched in 2012, the tool is designed for people who work or study and need ambient noise to maintain focus or mask distractions. Users can quickly access various noise options without installation or complex setup, making it useful for remote workers, students, and anyone seeking audio backgrounds for concentration.

  How I built a self-driving (RC) car.▲300

  I have been taking Andrew Ng's Machine Learning course. The lecture module on Neural Networks ends with an intriguing video of the ALVINN autonomous car driving itself along normal roads at CMU in the mid 90s. I was inspired by that video to see what I could build myself. A link to my incomplete write up was posted a couple of weeks ago (ouch!) but I finally finished it and open sourced the code tonight (so you can build your own self driving car). What do you think? http://blog.davidsingleton.org/nnrccar https://github.com/dps/nnrccar
