Parallelization in R
08:16 PM on Tuesday 17 September 2013

I have been having pretty large data set for statistical testing recently. Large as in millions of comparisons which is really taking a lot of time.

Loop
08:07 PM on Monday 16 September 2013

Loop is a iPad app that allows one to create simple animated GIFs like the ones we used to do on our textbook pages. Esther created the one below of a bouncing ball.

Fun shots at home

Had some fun with the kids using the laser pointer and getting them to pose in different weird positions :-)

Water droplets
10:40 AM on Sunday 15 September 2013

I really like macro photography. Zooming in on everyday objects and seeing something different is always very interesting to me. Here is a picture of water droplets condensing on a glass.
