OSU MRI Flashback – 1984
I was younger then, and I lived near the water.
I was doing MRI when they still referred to it as ‘NMR Imaging’. People got a little freaked out by the ‘nuclear’ bits. (But seriously, that’s my favorite era for the Ohio State logo.) I do believe that the day I got that ID was among the happiest in my up-to-then life, for some reason.
Glaven Object Files
I’ve posted the Glaven STL and OBJ object files in the Software, Data & Geometry section.
Go have a look and let me know if you use them or even download them for that matter.
Gibson ‘Feelie’ Object Files
I’ve created a OBJ and STL repository of printable / renderable versions of Gibson’s ‘feelies’ haptic dataset.
Go have a look and let me know if you download and/or use them.
Luxo Bookmark
Here’s something that might interest the Pixar fans/geeks out there-
I was cleaning up my lab today, and I found a copy of the RenderMan Companion (hey- I animated that cover image!) with a bookmark in it — more than a bookmark, it was a strip of Kodak 5247 with a sound track too!
Lo and behold- it is a piece of a print of Luxo Jr.
We used extra film / prints for all sorts of stuff. I remember going to a lunch at Colossal Pictures where they used scrap for cinematic silverware holders. Turns out, scrap prints were used all the time, especially when doing sound editing (so you could put place-holder stock where there was no sound, to get the timing right). Apparently, a lot of the old scrap was from pornos, so it turns out you had to be a little careful what you used for table place-settings.
Raspberry Pi Zero Clock Drift
So I built a device that uses the Raspberry Pi + a Hardware RTC.
I thought I’d look at the drift as reported by `hwclock -c` over the course of a day. So, here you go-
Colorful Visualization of the day
An in-development look at some age judgement data. Not sure what it is telling me yet, but I can’t let that stop me from looking at it?
