Recently, I’ve been fascinated with flexible optical elements. In particular, I’ve been experimenting with gradient index lenses. Gradient index materials are typically constructed with using semiconductor processes (doping some substrate). In addition, they are typically small both because of their fabrication method and because of chromatic aberrations that are more prevalent at larger sizes. GRIN […]
Brewing is an excellent hobby. It develops knowledge of chemistry, thermodynamics and biology and the result is quite delicious. On this page, you’ll find a brief overview of equipment, recipes, and techniques we’ve developed. My friends and I have brewed around a dozen batches, so take the following advice with a small grain of salt. […]
After a little effort, I got gnuradio running under OSX with MacPorts. Thankfully, there is a fairly nice package in macports which contains most of the dependencies needed to install everything for gnuradio. Unfortunately, the most recent version of sdcc is not compatible with usrp. So, to install gnuradio, you need to first install an […]
