And now that you’ve discovered us, I invite you to come on in, pull up your favorite computer chair, grab a mug of coffee, and stop by each week as we serve up another hearty helping of the tastiest technical tidbits we’ve imported from the far corners of the DSP universe.
 
It’s taken a few years, but I’ve finally gotten around to giving digital signal processing technology a home of its own on our web site. Since DSPs have found their way into everything from VoIP systems and cellular base stations to washing machine controllers and solar power inverters, you probably know that we’ve already been regularly covering DSP-based products and technologies on a regular basis in the networkZONE, audio-videoZONE, and other sections of EN-Genius Network.
