I’ve just released Micado 0.2. This release features generation of instructions and export to a Java GUI. It’s pretty neat!

Now, I’ll move to more research-oriented problems.

I’ve just publicly released Micado, the AutoCAD plug-in for programmable microfluidics, which I’ve been working on as part of my Meng.

In addition to my research assistanship (with Prof. Saman Amarasinghe and Bill Thies on computer-assisted design for programmable microfluidics), I’ll be taking two of the following classes this coming spring:

• 6.833 The Human Intelligence Enterprise
• 6.945 Large-scale Symbolic Systems
• 21M.284 Film Music

I hesitate between 6.833 and 6.945: do I want to become a better writer (6.833) or programmer (6.945)? In the short term, I might benefit more from 6.945, as it would perhaps apply to the work on JavaScript analysis I’ll likely be doing in the summer at Google Zürich. I’ll start by attending both and see which one I am more compelled towards: I guess it will depend on which class I feel would be more effective in its teaching.
