We've now had several dustings of snow, and there was the small issue of my bicycle brakes being encased in ice, fused to the wheel. Anyhow, I ran into [Matthias Wandel](http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/) at [Swing Club](http://swing.uwaterloo.ca/) this afternoon---he's a UW grad, and has a number of really neat project writeups on his site. It was just funny that I was half-heartedly studying some circuits in the studio, and when I asked him about an [op-amp](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_amplifier) question, his response was more about what a useless circuit it was, than what exactly the filter behaviour would be. In other news, I seem to be getting the hang of [Tango](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_Tango) a bit more. It's a far simpler dance than [Lindy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_Hop), and certainly less flexible, but fun enough in its high-heeled, strutting sort of way. Like any of the more intimate dances, it's more about the subtle communication between partners than big showy spins and tricks.]]> http://uwmike.com/articles/2006/10/23/small-world/feed/ 2 http://uwmike.com/articles/2006/08/16/reddit-greasemonkey/ http://uwmike.com/articles/2006/08/16/reddit-greasemonkey/#comments Wed, 16 Aug 2006 18:44:17 +0000 Mike Purvis http://uwmike.com/articles/2006/08/16/reddit-greasemonkey/ http://uwmike.com/articles/2006/08/16/reddit-greasemonkey/feed/ 1 http://uwmike.com/articles/2006/01/17/reddit-jobmine/ http://uwmike.com/articles/2006/01/17/reddit-jobmine/#comments Tue, 17 Jan 2006 18:48:00 +0000 Mike Purvis http://dev.uwmike.com/articles/2006/01/17/reddit-jobmine http://uwmike.com/articles/2006/01/17/reddit-jobmine/feed/ 4 http://uwmike.com/articles/2005/12/18/flash-plus-javascript/ http://uwmike.com/articles/2005/12/18/flash-plus-javascript/#comments Sun, 18 Dec 2005 19:51:00 +0000 Mike Purvis http://dev.uwmike.com/articles/2005/12/18/flash-plus-javascript http://uwmike.com/articles/2005/12/18/flash-plus-javascript/feed/ 4 http://uwmike.com/articles/2005/11/09/back-online/ http://uwmike.com/articles/2005/11/09/back-online/#comments Wed, 09 Nov 2005 17:51:00 +0000 Mike Purvis http://dev.uwmike.com/articles/2005/11/09/back-online http://uwmike.com/articles/2005/11/09/back-online/feed/ 3 http://uwmike.com/articles/2005/11/08/two-point-oh/ http://uwmike.com/articles/2005/11/08/two-point-oh/#comments Tue, 08 Nov 2005 07:47:00 +0000 Mike Purvis http://dev.uwmike.com/articles/2005/11/08/two-point-oh http://uwmike.com/articles/2005/11/08/two-point-oh/feed/ 2
