It took two years, but MIT finally put my thesis up on DSpace. In case any of you were stressing about the broken link below from two years ago.

The thesis is done. If you’re interested, you can find it here…
More to come later when I feel like posting…Machine’s acting kind of flaky, so the blog might come and go…

Loyal fans (the few of you that exist): let me apologize for the extremely long delay between posts. I’ve been off doing more important things. Heh, yeah, that’s it…
Actually, I sort of lost the motivation to post on this thing after a while. Last term wasn’t particularly busy or challenging in any real sense, but [...]

I’ve been planning on putting up this set of updates for a while, but I’ve managed to get delayed by…stuff. Like killing zombies (more on that later). Anyways, here’s some updates:

This summer’s been the summer of bar trivia so far. Well, at least on Monday nights. We’ve (where we is James, Ariel, Jim, me, and [...]

I love how old school RF/microwave engineering can be. Doug, my advisor at Draper, gave me a slide rule a few days ago as a gift. I initially dismissed the thing as an antique, and pushed it off into a corner of my desk. To my surprise, I’ve suddenly found the thing indispensable for performing [...]

Damn, it’s been a long time between posts…again. Stuff has been hectic since I got back from India. Where to begin…
India, as usual, was crazy. Far too many things going on with family, too little time, and a bunch of surreal experiences. Like a birthday party for a one-year old that was put on like [...]

Haven’t managed to post since I got back from spring break. There isn’t much new to talk about. Classes haven’t been terribly fun recently. 6.331 (crazy circuit design class) keeps piling on assignments, while 6.334 (power electronics) is just plain boring. Combine that with a complete lack of motivation to do work, and stuff isn’t [...]

6.334 had a test yesterday. There was no time limit and the professor interrupted the test after an hour for an ice cream break. Two of the three problems were either out of the textbook or from the review packet. Ridiculous.
Yes, you, intrepid reader, should care…

Short version: I’m going to be a Draper Fellow. Doing ridiculous things with high-efficiency RF power amplifiers and trying to cram them into as small a package as possible. And maybe figure out why they’re sometimes unstable. Yaay.
More details: My trip into Draper Laboratory was awesome. For those of you unfamiliar with the lab, it’s [...]

I added a bunch of links to fort-awesome people. Let me know if I left you out. If I did, it’s probably because you got lost in the mess, or because I wasn’t sure if you wanted to be linked to. In any case, it’s not because I hate you.
I promise a real [...]
