Spring 2012 Midterm Poster

Here is my poster as of midterm for the MSCS and Sigma Xi poster sessions.

Spring 2012 Midterm Endometriosis Resources

Rather than listing them all, it will suffice to say that pubmed and MUs subscription to many journals along with the library and books I’ve purchased have been very helpful. BTW, my research shelf is always this clean ;).

Schampa Warmskin and Coolskin Balaclavas

Last Fall I bought a Schampa Warm and Coolskin. They both fit under my helmet comfortably and kept me just warm enough. Even down to 34F, riding just felt great.

Pinlock anti-fog visor

Last year I bought one of these for the RF1100. It is really a brilliant piece of hardware; it “just works”. For eyeglass wearing folks… remember that if those fog up then the Pinlock won’t offer you much help :).

MATLAB’s Rich Java Interoperation

Last night I wanted to figure out how to get rid of the “Start Menu” on the bottom of the IDE and found a solution here. That got me digging into the docs about Java integration. Wow; it just works and seems to work really well. The interop is seamless. For the little coding I [...]

Comments on ENDOMETRIOSIS: EMERGING RESEARCH AND INTERVENTION STRATEGIES

Endometriosis is an interesting disease. Wiley publishes the proceedings of a conference on endometriosis entitled “ENDOMETRIOSIS: EMERGING RESEARCH AND INTERVENTION STRATEGIES” here. The proceedings cover a breadth and depth of topics that were all very interesting. Here are the things that really jumped out at me: Endometrium are likely to be present outside the uterus [...]

ENTERPRISE DATA MODELING

Last semester (Fall 2011) I taught “ENTERPRISE DATA MODELING” at Carroll University. Carroll is a great school and teaching the class was a lot of fun. A mentor of mine shared that “A teacher’s job is to create an environment in which learning is likely to occur.”. Thank you for sharing that.

4400MB

This is the size of a file that can surely fit on a DVD-R formatted with a UDF v1.02 filesystem. (I just tried it)

Mounting a Sparseimage with Automator in OS X

I use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup the Mini to an encrypted sparse image. OS X 10.6 used to mount the image automatically but quit doing so and I can’t figure out why. In lieu of that I built an Automator script to mount the share so that CCC could mount the image. That worked [...]

A Slow Study Group for ML

Hi, I’m going to work through http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/BTML/ and http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~lp15/MLbook/ using http://www.smlnj.org/ SLOWLY over MANY MONTHS. The reason is that I’ve never learned a statically typed functional programming language, I feel weak on recursive data type definitions, and I am curious about compiler and interpreter construction. So, I’m looking for a way to learn about all [...]
