I took Andrew Ng's Stanford/Coursera course in Machine Learning, and was near the end when someone mentioned the Parallella Kickstarter project in the class forum. There was only a day left on Kickstarter so I made a snap decision to buy in simply because it sounded like it would lend itself to some of the applications we were studying in the class. My hazy ideas at the moment revolve around video facial/pattern/object recognition and enhanced security system functions.
As a retired engineer just looking to learn new material and have a little fun, I don't expect to do Great Things, but it should be educational. I decided worst case would be just be another box on the pile of unfinished projects in the corner.
