Whatcha lookin’ at?

Some data from Emerson, Max + My summer work. Heat map, where one person looked while making shape discrimination decisions. I think I’ll take a vacation now.      

Omega-style headphone stand

For my birthday I bought myself a nice set of headphones — Grado PS500. They were sitting on my desk, in a pile of coffee stained Natures and strange SkidShop snack-bags. So I designed and printed the following,… Read More

Wolfram Programming Cloud

A day of problem solving pictures.

One of the things I love about using Mathematica is that it helps me better understand the nature of my programming and problem solving. It’s a great tool to help make sense of problems, see your errors, verify… Read More

More good bad results

Some days, things don’t go well, but you end up with interesting looking things anyway.

Pegged. It will come back to you?

Doing a sort of gigantic parallel computation in Mathematica. A little too gigantic, I’m afraid. Um- can IT deliver my new MacPro sooooon? Pleeeeease?        

Abby Normal

I was trying to figure out why there were shading artifacts on a 3D object I created for some vision experiments. I’ve got a metric-ton of Mathematica I’ve written over the years for doing computational geometry and it stood… Read More

NewGlaven

Back in 1987 I wrote some code for generating ‘noisy objects’. I cleaned up that code over the years, enhanced some calculations, played with new Mathematica features. Now I’ve got stuff that looks like this. I’ll put a… Read More
