When I first started thinking about this blog, almost three years ago, I searched the web to see what other DSP-related blogs I could find. I was surprised to realized that there wasn’t much. One of the sites that interested me was DSPRelated.com. At that time, the blog section had just a link leading into an empty page. For a while I kept checking to see if there was any new blog but nothing happened and I eventually stop checking. Yesterday, I was happy to receive an email from Stephane Boucher, the publisher of DSPRelated.com, letting me know about the blogs there. So I went to check them out and I discovered that they are hosting 14 blogs! They are all worth checking.

It has been a while since the last post and many things had happened to keep me away from posting. Luckily, things are calming down and I’m looking forward to resuming posting.
