#illini Brad Underwood said Ben Humrichous "is becoming an elite perimeter defender." Rebounding at a really high level.

"On a night that wasn't Mirk's best night, [Humrichous] was outstanding on that [defensive] end."

Just launched! Bela Gem is our new family of ultra-low-latency embedded audio boards based on PocketBeagle 2, with a quad-core 1.4GHz processor, 24/96 audio, 16-bit analog inputs. Comes in stereo and 10-channel versions. www.crowdsupply.com/bela/bela-ge...

The concept of "AGI" (a system that can match or exceed human performance across all tasks) shares all of the defects of the Turing Test. 1/

Barry was my Master's thesis advisor in the early 2000's. He was not only a technical pioneer, but also a sensitive musician whose love of the Second Viennese School still stays with me, and he was a generous mentor who gave his students support to explore widely. He will be greatly missed.

Exciting news from our secret headquarters at Bela: we've launched Bela Gem, the biggest hardware update to Bela in 10 years. Quad-core processor, high-spec audio, new IDE and more! The campaign will go live on CrowdSupply soon; subscribe at the link for more: www.crowdsupply.com/bela/bela-ge...

It’s our new holiday video for 2024!

Alex and I went old school this year with a straight-up rendition of this holiday classic. The outfits reference our academic & musical "Eras"… see if you can name them all. 😀

Happy Holidays!!

The greatest gift of making music videos has been Alex’s participation (he also sings in the Hilltones, his school #acappella group). This holiday medley was our first video project together (from 2022). Happy Holidays!

’Tis the season to bring back this old chestnut… Happy Holidays!

My first solo a cappella video, from the lockdown days of 2020. Clearly, I was going a bit stir crazy at home! 😅 #acappella #acapella

This (very long) article is making the rounds, and it is *spot on*. Higher education lost the script decades ago but social policy blindly followed.

My take from 20 years of varying roles in higher ed in the thread… 👇
