Back from Vacation

Just getting back into the swing of things from our Disney World vacation (which by the way, Walt Disney Animation Studios used FAS6000-series systems to produce the recently released movie, Meet the Robinsons).

Anyway, 90-degree weather in the month of April is simply brutal. Luckily, the (fresh-squeezed) Florida orange juice is still world-class.

Now for something else totally off-topic: I've always been fascinated in applications of cerebral ("brainwave") technology. Specifically, neuroacoustical applications. So, over the last few months, I started listening to Kelly Howell's "Deep Sleep". I've continued with the 2006 release of the "Gamma Meditation System" by Dr. Jeffrey D. Thompson. The results are simply amazing!!

Google "resonance entrainment" or "nonlinear oscillations" for more details (another example of applied mathematics in the real world).

More forthcoming later today...stay tuned!!
