The gambit flow of shifting thought

Adhering to a "no blogging from work or school" policy is probably for the best, but it does mean that most of the interesting bloggable ideas thought up during the day fade from attention before I head elsewhere. Must find a more efficient way to do this.

Having climbed up the first couple sets of hills towards the engineering goal, I've got a slightly better view -- and demonstrably stronger legs -- but am not out of the fog yet. Got my transfer function on, pondered the s-plane, breadboarded some filters, made pretty pictures in matlab. Tied up loose ends from the past.

They wouldn't call it "convolution" if it didn't turn everybody's brains into pretzels, no?

They've been working on SPICE (very popular circuit simulation software) for over 30 years now. Why does it still suck so much to use?

The Magnetizing Vars would be a great band name.
