David Pescovitz: Undergrad Dan Yuan's image here was first runner-up in MIT's annual Weird Fields contest where students generate psychedelic visualizations of vector fields. (Last year's winner here.) The patterns in Yuan's visualization remind me of the background of a Tim Biskup painting.

 Newsoffice 2005 Weird-2-EnlargedTo help students understand electromagnetic force fields, Professor of Physics John Belcher and colleagues at the MIT Center for Educational Computer Initiatives developed a computer applet into which students put the mathematical expressions that describe a given field. "It then pops out a visual representation of what the field looks like," he said.

UPDATE: As the MIT press release and BB reader Tom Zeller point out, the Weird Fields visualizations bear a striking resemblance to sections of Gustav Klimt paintings. Link

The Writing Fields


The Writing Fields 01/11/2004 11:16 AM

People of a certain age — mine — will remember Prince Norodom Sihanouk as the incumbent leader of a neutral and relatively peaceful Cambodia, before the war in Vietnam spilled over Cambodia's borders, leading to the rise of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, the fall of the Cambodian government, and the killing fields.

Now Sihanouk is an expat king in his eighties, writing a blog by hand with his queen, from France. Sources: Stuart Hughes, The Guardian, Yahoo News.

Copyright Law Is The Killing Fields Of
Culture
04/13/2004 01:51 AM
It seems that a day can't go by without more examples of just how problematic our copyright setup is. J.D. Lasica has written up a great article talking about a guy who was running a nice little company that took movies and made two minute trailers advertising the films, which he would then offer to online retailers to help promote the movies. The lawyers at Disney, however, could only see the fact that someone who wasn't them appeared to be making money on their content. Even though his work was helping them sell more, they sued him for $110 million and eventually forced him to shut down the company. Since he was first sued, he went out and created a documentary of other artists who "have been threatened, sued, fined, and put out of work in the name of copyright." These are all cases where people, in an attempt to be creative and expand our culture, were instead shut down by copyright laws that have clearly gone too far.

Are supergiant oil fields declining
faster than replacement?
04/09/2004 03:57 PM
NYT.  Oman's oil production decline on its large fields couldn't be stopped by new technology.  This is another indicator that Hubert's peak may be correct.

Oman's oil problems are relatively recent. Annual production rose from 1980 to 1997, when the 35-year-old Yibal field began to decline.  Two engineering papers written last year by Petroleum Development Oman officials show that production in Yibal has fallen at an annual rate of about 12 percent for six years; that is more than twice the normal rate of 5 percent in the region.

Perhaps more ominously for the world's oil outlook, he added that the failure of Shell's horizontal drilling technology in Oman suggested that even advanced extraction techniques "won't bring back the good old days."  In the case of the Yibal field, for example, Shell and Omani oil engineers and auditors have expressed concerns that a technique Sir Philip said would recover more oil not only did not do so, but also increased the amount of water in the extracted oil to as much as 90 percent of the total volume, increasing production costs.

Reading about it being 71 degrees for the NYC Marathon, I was about to go running today (I did the LA marathon in 1997 and was hoping to do one next year) but was surprised to find the rain just turned to snow and is piling up on the roof and streets. New York? 70 and partly sunny. Oregon? snowing.

Weird-o SMS behaviour


Weird-o SMS behaviour 02/05/2005 09:13 PM
Outi sent me yesterday a sweet text message about mice. True to the nature of these beasts, that SMS started multiplying: for some reason, T-Mobile (yes, I'm in Germany) has decided to deliver that message to me eleven times within the past 24 hours. Even though it has been sent only once.

It seems that every SMS sent from Finland is replaced by this same SMS message - so if you've tried to contact me, I have only seen a message about a mouse from Outi. Sorry. You gotta try and resend, if you had anything to say (or just email me).

weird referer


weird referer 01/07/2004 04:31 PM

Recently (but I just noticed it today) I started getting HTTP referers that are a variation of the following: "XXXX:+++++++++++++++++++++++" (the number of plus signs varies). A google search with appropriate terms quickly turned up discussions like this one that suggest that the referer is someone using an anonymizer or internet security product of some kind. Without that information it smells like an attempt at an exploit of some kind... but of what kind (and if so, I've never heard of it)?

Anyone knows about this? Has anyone else seen it? I'm curious. :)
