Hi, I’m Bernie and I’m a full-time Software Development Engineer (SDE) at A2Z, part of the Amazon group of companies! I graduated from UCLA, Go Bruins! and received my M.S. in Computer Science (Specialized in Networking – Security) through a Fellowship from The Aerospace Corporation. At CSULB, I received my B.S. in Computer Science. I enjoy being active, working on personal (computer) projects, running, swimming, and crossfitting. To learn more about me, just ask…Tumblr (3.0; @rungeek)http://blog.rungeek.com/<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lVjw7n_U37A?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.chrome">Introducing Chrome for Android Beta</a></p> <p><br/> Whoaaah.</p>http://blog.rungeek.com/post/17237128253http://blog.rungeek.com/post/17237128253Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:41:00 -0800<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/36239715?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=ffffff" width="400" height="224" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><b><a href="http://vimeo.com/36239715">Robot readable world</a></b></p> <p>How do robots see the world? How do they gather meaning from our streets, cities, media and from us?</p> <p>Pretty cool video about how robots view the world. I remember I coded up a very simple demo motion detector with my webcam to draw boxes around cars driving down the street. It basically compared the old frame with the new frame and put a box around the max/min width/height when it noticed the colors changed and it had a little tolerance give too.</p>http://blog.rungeek.com/post/17201434116http://blog.rungeek.com/post/17201434116Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:08:00 -0800<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HNWdpZ63Vdg?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>CrossFit - Fashion to Fitness</p> <p>Schwing!</p>http://blog.rungeek.com/post/17200150057http://blog.rungeek.com/post/17200150057Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:22:49 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyyhmiA71Y1qznepvo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Congratulations, your taxes are done!</p> <p>Yeah!
