Sausalito -> Embarcadero 9/22

November 7, 2022 jwymbs23

I've been doing some long transit-accessible hikes as a way to get to know the Bay Area again after 10 years away. It's fun to put together routes that often aren't single trails, because with the exception of the SF crosstown trail (which I recommend!) most single trail hikes are either way too long or… Continue reading Sausalito -> Embarcadero 9/22

Some expired Ilford 400 film: Framing trees is hard! Finally got one that I sort of like Squirrels ate the actual flowers, so we get this replacement.

Portra 800 The following are from the SF Crosstown Trail which is really worth it if you want to devote a full day to an urban hike. If you don't have a full day, the first two sections are great for exploring parts of the city that aren't really in the guidebooks. RIP Candlestick Visitacion… Continue reading Photos 8/22

Non-technical side projects deserve their own space, too! Since any platform (instagram, ahem) is likely to change, I'll try to post some of my favorite shots from time to time. Mostly just for me, but if you happen to come across this page and have any tips, let me know! Shot with a Minolta X-370,… Continue reading Photos 7/22

Walking ’round the block

October 13, 2018 jwymbs23

The New York Times recently made a map of every building in the US. I decided to see how round they were: And here is a higher quality pdf. To define a building's 'roundness', I calculated the asphericity, which is equal to 0 for a perfectly spherically or circularly symmetric set of points, and is… Continue reading Walking ’round the block

I used trackpy to plot the paths of the snowflakes outside my window.

Word Triangles – The SQL

February 16, 2018February 16, 2018 jwymbs23

I'd been looking for a fun place to practice SQL for a while (no offense, Northwind Database) when I saw a meme. The meme had what I'll call a 'Word Triangle', which can be best illustrated with an example: Each edge of the triangle is a word, and each vertex is a word made by… Continue reading Word Triangles – The SQL

Eye-sing Model

January 12, 2018January 12, 2018 jwymbs23

The Ising model was first conceived in its one-dimensional form as a way to explore how phase transitions occur, and if they could even be described with the tools of statistical physics. It became a jumping off point for studying lots of different physical systems, and has led to the development of many new theoretical… Continue reading Eye-sing Model

Checkout these Libraries

Here's a map of all the libraries in New York: Not only Dewey (sorry) see that they are well spaced, but there are even some places like South Brooklyn where they look almost look ordered. I decided to use some physical chemistry techniques to explore how these libraries are distributed throughout the city to highlight… Continue reading Checkout these Libraries
