fuckyeahfluiddynamics:

The acoustic signatures of many animals contain features we humans cannot appreciate, given the limited range of frequencies we can hear. In fluid dynamics and many other fields, scientists and engineers have to find ways to analyze and decompose time-series data—like acoustic pressure signals—into useful quantities. Mark Fischer uses one tool for such analysis, a wavelet transform, to turn the calls of whales, birds, and insects into the colorful snapshots seen here. Wavelet transforms are somewhat similar to Fourier transforms but represent a signal with a series of wavelets rather than sinusoids. They’re also widely used for data compression. (Image credits: M.

If you could only want a little less for yourself, you would be happier.

Sun, 05 May 2013 16:56:09 -0400

It’s amazing to me how people can want so much for themselves. Tonight, I met a lady at the Bruce Springsteen concert. She told me her dream was to spend a day, or even 45 minutes, alone with Bruce Springsteen, so that he could sing to her.

I thought to myself…45 minutes alone with the Boss? How could you ask so much? I could be happy just to shake his hand.

Maybe it is not what we actually get in life that makes us happy, but rather the ability to desire very little for ourselves that could lead us to happiness.

[This was from a while ago, but for some reason, I had only saved it as a draft.]

Just enjoying being on my longboard yesterday. Perfect weather!
