The colors of Oahu

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

I’m in Honolulu this week attending the ISMRM conference. Neither paradise nor intense technical sessions are conducive to blogging, but I have been getting some great photos of late. Here’s a slideshow of my photos thus far…

taken in Madison, Wisconsin, May 2008. I was inspired to share by eteraz.

the perfect sunset

This is amazing – a photographer wanted the perfect photo of a sunset framed by a long pier. So, using math and information from websites like Google Maps and the US Naval Observatory, he calculated what day the Sun would appear at the ideal angle to catch the shot. And here’s the result:

Perfect Sunset

Brilliant. This is the essence of Geek. See the original post for full details of the calculation.

It’s so cheap to register a custom plate in Wisconsin that I just couldn’t resist. I’m going to remain agnostic about whether my plate is big-endian or little-endian, though.

Two cute kids I met in Colombo, named Husain and Alefiyah:

Their hometown in India, Pune, is my father’s hometown and the origin of my family name.

…must come to and end, including an amazing trip in Colombo. And, hopefully, the trip home from hell. Its early morning in London where I am holed up in a hotel, having missed my connection in Heathrow due to an 8 hour delay departing Colombo (due to the runway accident at Heathrow a few days ago which has shut down a runway). I should be home in 12 hours or so.

A gun emplacement outside the Taj Samudra hotel. Colombo suffered a terror attack upon civilians riding the bus during our stay, which killed 26 and injured hundreds (including children).

A hazy morning, with water in the canal so still that up is down and down is up.

I’m in transit, hopefully no delays…
