Welcome to The Homepage of Alisha Navarro

I have a BS in Physics and a BA in Mathematics from Lenoir Rhyne College in Hickory, NC. I am currently a Graduate Student at Appalachian State University where I am working on my thesis project, a Voice Output Barcode Scanner and Color Sensor for the Visually Impaired using an 8051 Microcontroller.

A few of my favorite sites

• Google is the best search engine on the web.
• 8052.com is a great site for anyone interested in the 8051 series microcontroller with tutorials, a message board, and a code library. I have found it very useful for research or help using the 8051 microcontroller.
• Truth or Fiction is a great site to research urban legends. It also has a front page with the day's most popular email forwards. You know, those "forward this and Timmy will get a new leg" emails? Well this website debunks them. It is an easy and polite way to discourage unwanted forwards (I send a link to the page debunking whatever the email said. People start realizing that you think they are idiots after a while and stop sending the offending email).
• The Tomato Nation is an interesting website with Editorial type articles. The writer for the site always has an interesting perspective on everyday life.

Hey, why don't you take a look at my Resume and Drop Me A Line if you wish to speak in more detail.
