State of the Beach

State of the Beach 06/05/2005 11:11 PM
Surfrider is a nonprofit environmental organization that produces a annual "State of the Beach" (explanation here) report with information about US beach access (public access and private ownership issues), water quality, beach erosion, surfing, links and more. Reports are available for Hawaii, West Coast, Gulf States, Southeast, Mid Atlantic, Puerto Rico, Northeast and Great Lakes. In-depth Water Quality reports for beaches in CA, HI, TX, AL, and parts of FL, as well as results of beach water testing conducted by (or sanctioned by) Surfrider Chapters are also available. There are also Surfrider chapters in: Australia, Brazil, Canada (no website), Europe and Japan. EPA: Beaches is also an excellent resource for information about the condition of US beaches.

Juno Beach

Juno Beach 06/06/2004 03:28 AM
We are minutes away from the 60th anniversary of D-day. The Canadians landed at Juno beach. (Some< /a> new s) (Some history).

The U.S. has a long history of movies commemorating it's role in war, including D-day as have other smaller countries like Australia (WW1). Canadians have written some good books about our wars like " And No Bird Sang" and " The Wars" (Amazon links) and the NFB and the CBC have done many a documentary but we never seem to have done a great film to commemorate our fighting men. Hell, even recently deceased President Reagan remembered Canada's role in the D-day fighting. Why have we no great film for what our men did or about that cold blooded murder at Abbaye d'Ardenne on D-day?

We can a least remember them via the Juno Beach Centre.

Cops in North Miami Beach to Get Wi-Fi

Cops in North Miami Beach to Get Wi-Fi 01/27/2004 01:42 PM
The North Miami Beach Police Department is building a Wi-Fi network using Tropos gear: The police had used a CDPD network to access data but the operator is shutting down its CDPD network. The department expects to save a bundle by not having to pay an operator a monthly fee for using the network. The Wi-Fi network currently only covers a few square blocks but plans call for it to stretch five square miles. That's not a very big area so I wonder what the cops will do outside of that area....

Theo Jansen and his beach animals

Theo Jansen and his beach animals 06/05/2005 11:47 PM

Two people got standing ovations for their presentations at GEL. The first was Barry Schwartz for his talk on The Paradox of Choice. The second person, who gave the most fascinating presentation I've seen at a conference in a long time, was inventor/artist/mad scientist Theo Jansen. For the past fifteen years, Jansen has been creating (growing?) "beach animals" made from commonly available tools like plastic tubing, cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, hose, tape, and all sorts of other stuff. Wired News did a pretty good article on Jansen earlier this year:

Jansen is evolving an entirely new line of animals: immense multi-legged walking critters designed to roam the Dutch coastline, feeding on gusts of wind. Over the years, successive generations of his creatures have evolved into increasingly complex animals that walk by flapping wings in response to the wind, discerning obstacles in their path through feelers and even hammering themselves into the sand on sensing an approaching storm.

It's hard to know where to begin in talking about what's so cool about Jansen's beach animals. They're evolved for one thing; he worked out the optimal 11-piece leg using evolutionary algorithms on a computer but now prefers to race his animals on the beach and "breed" the most successful ones together, taking the best bits from each to make their offspring better. His animals have legs, muscles (pneumatic pistons within the plastic tubing), stomachs (plastic bottles for storing air), and nerves (collections of on/off values that work pretty much like logic gates).

And watching the videos that Jansen showed...his animals were so organic and lifelike as they moved under their own power across the beach. He's got a few of the videos on his site, but for some reason, the best ones he showed at GEL are not among them. To see evolution happening like this, a clumsy, imprecise process of trial and error that nonetheless produces beautiful and organic results, it was a real treat.

Surfer fights shark, doesn't let it ruin
his day at the beach 04/18/2005 06:24 PM
David Pescovitz: A group of surfers at Sydney, Australia's Bronte Beach were attacked by a seven-foot shark on Saturday. One of the surfers held up his board as a barracade to protect himself and his friends. From the Associated Press:

The shark took two bites of the fiberglass board before ceasing the attack, (life guard Aaron) Graham told The Associated Press by telephone. "There were two big puncture mark bites on the board, but it didn't actually bite a hunk out of it so he was able to ride it in."

The beach was immediately closed, but thirty-minutes later Graham apparently spotted the surfer hitting the waves again on a new board. Link

Seismic Toolkit 0.24 (Default branch) 03/24/2005 08:05 AM
Seismic Toolkit is a tool for processing and displaying seismic signal data in a graphical interface. It reads seismic signals in SAC format, and provides a number of user operations, such as zooming, filtering, spectral analysis, polarisation analysis, time-frequency representation, Hilbert transform, and singular value decomposition.

---

Changes:
Postscript files can now be generated using the plot_3comp.c, plot_current_chan.c, and plot_all_chan.c programs. These programs generate a command_file for GMT (the Generic Mapping Tool software) that is able to create PostScript output for high quality graphics or printing. Export_to_ASCII menus were added for NZE_channels, Current_channel, and ALL_channels, so that the signals can be plotted with other software.

---

Changes:
A minor bug was corrected in the integrator function to do with the normalisation factor (there were problems with signal high sampling rates). A minor bug was also corrected in Utilities/plot_all_chan.c for when the channel does not have a standard name (N, Z, or E).

Changes:
A major bug in Uilities/SEED_RESPONSE/seed_resp.c was corrected to take into account the B type transfer functions (must multiply poles and zeros by (2 PI) and A0 by (2PI)**(Np-Nz).) Exponential taper was added to the time_frequency and spectra menus.
