EagerEyes Shorts

Musings on visualization, photography, programming, etc. that are too long for Twitter but too short for (or don't fit) my visualization website, EagerEyes.org. Part of my vanity website, kosara.net, which is most notable for hosting my list of publications. If you still want to know more, see my university page at UNC Charlotte, and/or follow me on Twitter.

Embezzle a bit more of your building’s heat.

Here’s a useful trick to unfairly get more heat into your apartment than the others in your building: Use a box fan to convert your passive radiator — in effect, a giant heatsink — into an active heatsink-with-fan combo.

Of course, you can also just remove the shelf that’s sitting on top of the radiator and blocks 90% of the (purely heat-induced) airflow. Less noise, too.
