Maui, Hawai’i
After a week on the Big Island, we headed over to Maui. Here are some panoramic highlights…
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.

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
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 cannot really be used for scientific work requiring mathematics…
