Ring Vision
As a long-time Ring owner, I have come to appreciate its stable and reliable service. While browsing through my garden camera timeline, I often wondered if there was a way to save video clips as timelapse recordings. To address this, I used to set an alert on my phone to manually take a screenshot every day around the same time. Although it seemed like just a few taps, maintaining this routine was challenging, and I eventually gave up after about six months.

GenAI SCORM Composer
This blog post will explore how to use Rustici's SCORM Driver in combination with any LLM models to automatically generate instructional content in SCORM-compliant packages. The result? A streamlined content creation workflow, enhanced by the power of artificial intelligence, enabling content creators to focus on educational design rather than technical specifications.

Auto Blink
Living in a townhouse in the Greater Toronto Area comes with unique challenges—especially when you own two cars. Townhouse driveways are often limited in space, and street parking is usually restricted overnight. Managing where to park each car can get tricky, and forgetting to move one in time can lead to expensive parking tickets. That is why I decided to evaluate different security camera systems to monitor my driveway and remind myself to move cars with AI.

Post'Em Plus
Post'Em is a tool that allows you to upload and post a spreadsheet with special access controls for your students. It is used by many as an alternative to Sakai's Gradebook tool. You can create a spreadsheet with a row for each student and a column for each entry. The benefit of Post 'Em is that you are free to enter in any data you wish, as opposed to the numeric grade-based Gradebook tool. It allows you to enter traditional numeric grade scores, but accompanied with more in-depth feedback and comments.
