my favorite focal lengths

I have been mean­ing to some­thing like this for quite a while, plot­ting the dis­tri­b­u­tion of the focal lengths used in the pic­tures I shoot, to see which por­tions of the zoom range get the most action. Here is the graph for our recent vaca­tion on Hawai’i, obtained using the Light­room 4 beta and Jef­frey …

Signal Statistics for Nyquist WDM / OTDM

A while back I posted an arti­cle on Sig­nal Sta­tis­tics for OFDM. Orig­i­nally, this would have included OTDM also, but it grew too long. So it was split into two parts. This is the sec­ond part. Please read the orig­i­nal arti­cle first, as it explains much of the ter­mi­nol­ogy and the present arti­cle by itself …

Big Island, Hawai’i

I am still catch­ing up to get­ting some order into the pic­tures I took dur­ing our last vaca­tion on Hawai’i. And that was back in Sep­tem­ber! Any­way, here are some of the bet­ter panora­mas from our first stop, Big Island. Click through for the large ver­sion at flickr, with a short descrip­tion.

Signal Statistics for OFDM

Here is some­thing that recently piqued my inter­est (and kept me busy for the bet­ter part of last week). It could be (mar­gin­ally) inter­est­ing for peo­ple which work on OFDM or Nyquist WDM and – as far as I know – no one has looked at this in more detail. In both, OFDM and Nyquist …

Series Expansions

Some­thing I made back in July. Since then it shows up at the bot­tom of these here pages in the menu rib­bon, but I never wrote a proper post about it. I guess it deserves a lit­tle more pub­lic­ity since I do use it quite reg­u­larly. So here is my orig­i­nal descrip­tion for the cheat …

Ampersand of the Week 35/2011

This week’s amper­sand hails from the just-a-little-bit-crazy cor­ner of typog­ra­phy, but that just makes it awe­some. Here it is, Batory Mid­dle:

Ampersand of the Day

Maybe a bet­ter title would be Amper­sand of the Week, but then again who keeps track? Today’s (or this week’s) amper­sand is from Rooney Pro by Jan Fromm, a very nice-looking serif fam­ily that will set you back a mere $546 if you want them all. Unfor­tu­nately, it does not con­tain Greek let­ters, so it …
