Demonstrating support for or defending ideologies known to be violent or hateful is a bannable offense. This includes, but is not limited to: racial supremacy, anti-LGBTQ or anti-cis-gender/anti-straight, pro-genocide, child abuse or child pornography, etc. While we recognize questions and conversation regarding these topics are essential for a STEM community, in general, doing so in bad faith will result in immediate expulsion.

But lets take a step back for a moment and start from the begining.

An In-depth Look at Duals and Their Circuits
Duality is an approach that has been applied across countless disciplines where one takes an existing structure and transforms it into an equivalent structure, often with the intention of making it more useful for a particular context. In electronic circuits this usually means we take an existing circuit schematic and transform it in such a way that it serves a similar purpose but suited to our specific use case. One extremely trivial example of this would be converting two resistors in series, which act as a voltage divider, into two resistors in parallel producing a current divider.

Understanding the Reflection Coefficient
Today I hope to answer a rather complex question: What does the Reflection Coefficient mean exactly, how do we measure it, and what can we do with it once we do. For example if we have a reflection coefficient of \(0.5 \angle 30^{\circ}\) at at some point in a feedline what does that mean and how can we use it?
There is a lot to unpack in such a short question, there are many things the reflection coefficient can tell us on its own, and quite a few more things it can tell us when we know a few other variables.

Rotations in N dimensions
Several years ago I was writing a Machine Learning paper that required me to do rotations in an arbitrary number of dimensions. As such I had an entire section of the paper devoted to explaining how that was done before moving on to the actual algorithm. Here I extracted the portion where I explain N-dimensional rotations, basically rotations in 4-dimensional space or higher, and created its own PDF out of it.

Nodal Analysis Tutorial
Nodal Analysis is a technique for circuit analysis where each node (A point where two or more components are connected) is interpreted individually. This analysis can be used to determine the voltage, or any other variable, at any point in the circuit, sometimes as a function of time. It is based on the fact that at any node all the current that enters the node will be equal to all the current leaving that same node.

Frequency Domain Circuit Analysis Tutorial
Some time back I started writing a book in an attempt to help explain how to do circuit analysis by hand. Originally it was going to include both time-domain analysis as well as frequency-domain analysis. The book is incomplete and I never got to cover the time-domain but has several complete examples showing frequency-domain analysis on many common circuits. I’ve gotten some compliments over the years, particularly from HAM radio operators, on how useful the book has been to them.

Latex PDF from Markdown
I write a lot of technical documents, and it is important to me that they look nice. In the past I have always resorted to using latex directly. It's an ugly language, hard to maintain, but it has always been the best solution. Microsoft Word completely fails at complex documents, and is tedious and buggy if you want to do anything technical with it. If I have a simpler document without much math or special formatting I've always used Markdown.

Hyperassociative Map Explanation
Introduction Almost 8 years ago, on Aug 15, 2009, I invented a new game-changing algorithm called the Hyperassociative Map algorithm. It was released as part of the dANN v2.x library. The HAM algorithm, as it is often called, has since been used by countless developers and in hundreds of projects. HAM is a Graph Drawing algorithm that is similar to force-directed algorithms but in a class all its own. Unlike other force-directed algorithms HAM does not have a sense of momentum or acceleration which makes it debatable if it can even still be called force-directed.

Latex Inspired Rendering of Algorithms in HTML
I recently updated the code for my blog (yes, this one) to render, in classic latex style, algorithms as pseudocode. This style has been so extensively used from the 80's and continues to be used as a standard format for rendering algorithms as pseudocode. Below is an example of what I'm talking about, its the Quicksort algorithm rendered using this style.
% This quicksort algorithm is extracted from Chapter 7, Introduction to Algorithms (3rd edition) \begin{algorithm} \caption{Quicksort} \begin{algorithmic} \PROCEDURE{Quicksort}{$A, p, r$} \IF{$p < r$} \STATE $q = $ \CALL{Partition}{$A, p, r$} \STATE \CALL{Quicksort}{$A, p, q - 1$} \STATE \CALL{Quicksort}{$A, q + 1, r$} \ENDIF \ENDPROCEDURE \PROCEDURE{Partition}{$A, p, r$} \STATE $x = A[r]$ \STATE $i = p - 1$ \FOR{$j = p$ \TO $r - 1$} \IF{$A[j] < x$} \STATE $i = i + 1$ \STATE exchange $A[i]$ with $A[j]$ \ENDIF \STATE exchange $A[i]$ with $A[r]$ \ENDFOR \ENDPROCEDURE \end{algorithmic} \end{algorithm} If you'd like to use it yourself then it isn't too hard.

Conditional Probabilities and Bayes Theorem
I've been getting a lot of questions from friends lately about what Bayes Theorem means. The confusion is understandable because it appears in a few models that seem to be completely unrelated to each other. For example we have Naive Bayes Classifiers and Bayesian Networks which operate on completely different principles. Moreover this is compounded with a lack of understanding regarding unconditional and conditional probabilities.
In this article I offer a tutorial to help bring the lay person up to speed with some basic understanding on these concepts and how Bayes Theorem can be applied.

Restricted Logarithmic Growth with Injection
The Logistic Function, sometimes with modifications, has been used successfully to model a large range of natural systems. Some examples include bacterial growth, tumor growth, animal populations, neural network transfer functions, chemical reaction rates, language adoption, and diffusion of innovation, to name a few. The real world applications are simply staggering.
Because of the utility of this powerful little equation it has lead me to investigate more thoroughly how it works, and how it can be applied to novel innovations.

The Great Nebula in Orion
As some of you may already know I am an avid Astrophotographer. Several years back I set out to photograph the Great Nebula in orion, particularly focusing on the 4 brightest stars at its center, called the trapezium. These stars produce the majority of the light responsible for lighting up the entire nebula. They are also so bright and closely spaced together that they often appear to the onlooker to be a single super bright star.

APEX, New APRS Protocol, New Paradigm, New Software
APEX stands for "APrs EXtended"; It will be a new protocol which expands on and fixes most of the issues in the older APRS protocol while still remaining backwards compatible.
APEX defines both a new protocol and a new paradigm. Since much of the new protocol will not run on existing hardware APEX also includes a Python reference implementation that will provide a full APEX application out of the box. Since APEX is backwards compatible with APRS it can fully utilize existing APRS hardware to route APEX packets across the network.

Getting KAM-XL APRS TNC up and working
After much frustration trying to get my old KAM-XL TNC up and working I finally got it all back up a few weeks ago. For the sake of future hackers I'd like to share the steps it took to get it all configured.
First off, buy the correct cables for your radio and hook it up. Less problems to troubleshoot for you in case things don't work right. For me both the Yeasu FT-2000 and my Kenwood D710 radio hooked directly to a single port on each radio.

My New High Frequency Vertical Antenna
For several years now I wanted to replace my older High Frequency antenna which had partially fallen down; it was a G5RV Jr. However it never really worked right; it used a metal mast which had detuned the antenna and after about a year it started to fall down and became completely inoperative anyway. Throughout the years it got me some DX, but overall it really never performed that well.

The Ultimate Ethereum Mining Rig
As many of you know for many years now I've invested in, and had an interest in, cryptocurrency. However until now I never owned a mining rig simply because it didn't seem profitable enough to be worth the trouble. However recently a few things changed; first, with Ethereum entering the scene it became a profitable endeavor with a ROI that would exceed the initial investment in less than a year. So after running all the numbers to make sure it was profitable, and testing it out on genesis-mining.

Easy to Remember, Secure, Passwords
A few years back XKCD, as it so often does, got me thinking; this time about my choice of passwords. Up until that point I had always seen it as an intellectual challenge to memorize long random passwords for all my logins; usually 16 random characters, numbers, and symbols. But I've since learned that it is easier, and more importantly, more secure, to pick easy to memorize passwords. But how can we do this and still ensure the password is actually secure, it seemed a more in-depth analysis was in order.

There in the living wood, I found the moon, and she gave herself to me. She is mine, though not to be owned. Sitting high in the heavens, radiating her grace for all to love. Though still all the more mine. All I knew was emptiness, knowing of nothing, blind to my existence. Never seeing color. Never seeing white, nor black. Then, there in the heavens, there she hung, the newborn moon.

The Angel with Cracked Wings
Light pierces through wind torn holes. My eyes ache adjusting to the light. Shapes and figures barely formed. A sweet scent calls me forward. But I know nothing of the day; like a blind man, seeking the sight he once knew. But it is not in the light one finds sight. It is in the darkness. Here the sightless have sight. Those who see are lost. In this place beauty is more than a word, more than a thing to look upon.

Responsibility of the Human
Lives around us are born and die. We live to see the life and death of the plants, animals, and people that surround us. Every year an entire world of plants, insects, and animals die around us leaving a barren icy world reborn new just as quickly as it died. Our beloved pets, our loved Grandparents, uncles, cousins, friends, and even parents are taken from us.

Brambled velvet, bloody thorns. The sweetest warmth on my tongue. A distant memory of a soft touch that never was. The thorns are a poison, and the fruit its cure.
