Convolutional neural networks for artistic style transfer
There’s an amazing app out right now called Prisma that
transforms your photos into works of art using the styles of famous
artwork and motifs. The app performs this style transfer with the help
of a branch of machine learning called convolutional neural
networks . In this article we’re going to take a journey
through the world of convolutional neural networks from…
Scalable and resilient Django with Kubernetes
If things work out as you’ve envisioned, there will be a time in your
webapp’s lifecycle when it’s serving a large number of users. By the
time things get to this point, it’s ideal if you’ve architected your
webapp to both scale gracefully to meet this load, and also be
 resilient to arbitrary failures of underlying compute resources. 
 This…

Shpotify, a command-line interface to Spotify
Our media centre machine at home is an aging Mac with only one open
port: SSH. Since it was getting annoying to have to walk up to it
every time we wanted to control Spotify, I wrote a simple Bash/Apple
script that allows us to
remotely control the program from other machines around the house. 
 With it, we can now do things like this:

thinkbot
thinkbot has been a labour of love of mine for
some years now. Since it’s currently being rebuilt from scratch (as it
often seems to be), I am going to leave you with a story instead of
pointing you to something you can play with. 
 The idea for the project began at a simple place: To make a tool that
allows people to easily solve differential equations online.

Wilderness Embassy
Wilderness Embassy aimed to be an engaging website to help children
learn more about the relationship between humans, animals and our
planet. It suggested fun activities for parents and teachers to do
with children in nature, and housed a collection of fictional stories
featuring cute characters encouraging children to explore and learn
about their environment.

Modelling the active mechanical response of the heart
Ventricular myocardium serves as the functional tissue of the heart
wall. Driven by intracellular calcium waves, the tissue rhythmically
contracts to finite strains. Modelling this behaviour is a key step
toward modelling the complex, coupled electro-chemo-mechanical
behaviour of the heart. 
 Our chemo-mechanical formulation for describing and studying the
active response…

An electrophysiological model for the chondrocyte
Cartilage is the soft tissue that cushions bones at joints and usually
allows for bones to slide past each
other. Osteoarthritis is a debilitating disorder
that’s caused when cartilage starts to wear out, resulting in painful
and reduced mobility for sufferers of the condition. There exist no
drugs that slow down the progression of the disease. 
 In this work, we use…

A computer algebra system for iOS
One of the first things I did upon getting an iPhone last year was to
fork over an additional $99 to Apple Developer
Connection , to get access to their iOS
development tools and the right to run my own apps on my own
phone . This has been exciting because programming for the phone has
involved learning a lot: a whole new programming paradigm, touch-based
UI design, a new…
