Now that I work at a high performance computing center I can submit Mathematica notebooks to the cluster.

I don’t think I’ll get tired of the electric field.

Interpolation value lies outside range of data in the function. Extrapolation will be used.

Forgotten Project

While going through my unfinished projects I found this mysterious image in a folder called "colorBlur".

The title of the Mathematica notebook is "runwayBlur.nb". I'm not really sure what the goal of this project was. It looks I got the colors from a certain image and put them into this ArrayPlot. I don't remember what I was going to do next but there is a second image in the notebook:

 What is this? What was I thinking? Why didn't I put comments or notes in my notebook? The folder name suggests that I was going to take these colors and make some kind of color gradient. How is that interesting? I'm guessing I couldn't think of a good answer and moved on to something else.

I recently started playing Shin Megami Tensi IV for 3DS. I really like the 3D. This grid pattern shows up in the menu system.

Dear fellow humans,

Odds and Evens

[instructorspockie]

The Moon exerts a non-uniform gravitational force on the Earth. The side of the Earth closest to the Moon is pulled more strongly toward the Moon than the opposite side. As a result, two sides of the Earth are stretched and two are compressed. This animation shows the tidal forces the surface of the Earth experiences as the Moon moves along its orbit.
