		<title>Adventures in Flying</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m hoping to get started towards getting my Private Pilot&#8217;s License soon. 
Today, we went from Norwood, MA and followed Mass Pike to gander at downtown Boston, flew over Fenway and Cambridge. Boston ATC wouldn&#8217;t let us approach any closer to Boston given the holiday traffic, and we had to stay below 1500 feet when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brand Perception in the Age of Social Networking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These days, Social Networking is a buzz-phrase that companies try to milk leverage for all it&#8217;s worth.  However, what does social networking really mean for your company&#8217;s brand?
While this is not a question that is easily answered, the following visualization is an attempt at conveying the convergence of people and technology through (and across) the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Noam Chomsky on the Obama Administration &amp; The U.S. Foreign Policy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, I attended a rather excellent talk by Noam Chomsky and Amy Goodman on the Obama Administration &#38; The U.S. Foreign Policy hosted by the HEIRC. The event was recorded by PBS, and the video is supposed to be made available to the public. As Chomsky&#8217;s talks go, it was dry but good &#8212; albeit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Development as Freedom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I rarely recommend textbooks as good reads. Not that they aren&#8217;t, of course, but they often tend to be academic in nature and therefore of little interest to anyone other than academics (and unfortunate students).
However, I&#8217;m taking a class by Professor Stephen P. Marks on World Poverty &#38; Human Rights this Spring, and one of [...]]]></description>

		<title>IPE Research Paper: Asian Financial Crisis &amp; Exchange Rate Regimes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The topic and abstract for my IPE term paper that I had originally planned turned out to be a little too broad in its scope. As a result, my final paper had a much tighter focus.
Fluctuation &#38; Flexibility: A Case Study of Exchange Rate Regimes from the 1997-1998 East Asian Crisis
The choice between fixed and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Plücker’s Conoid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the same note as the previous post, here are some Scilab renderings of the slightly more interesting Plücker’s conoid.




And of course, here&#8217;s the code. Substitute N with the number of folds in the surface, where (quite obviously) the period of oscillation around the Z axis is given by 2π/n.

num_points = 50;

		<title>Pseudo Cross Cap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since I did something interesting with math on my blog, so I figured I&#8217;d go back to some old favorites. I&#8217;ve done the Cross Cap before, so here&#8217;s a variation &#8212; the Pseudo Cross Cap.

And of course, as always, here&#8217;s the code code to render them in Scilab. The code has [...]]]></description>
