Is Classical Music Dead?
Back in January 2014, a Slate article by Mark Vanhoenacker stated that Classical music in America [was] dead. It was not the first article like this, and surely not the last. I got fed up and launched this site.
It was picked by WQXR, NewMusicBox, and Radio France.

I love Python for its readability, its flexibility, and the range of possible applications, from robotics, to computer vision.
Robotics
My interest in robotics lies mostly in human-robot interaction, but I’m also fascinated by the engineering aspect.
