We hope you'll find the following links interesting and useful. We apologize if any are suffering from "link rot;" we try to keep the URLs up to date, but it gets to be a chore.
Makers of Microwave Office, the world's greatest circuit and system analysis software.
A great web site with lots of irreverent humor.
Catalog of RF and Microwave
Sites
RF and microwave sites, worldwide; mostly universities.
General information and resources for RF and microwave folks.
Artech House. Need we say more?
The Microwave Journal, that great microwave-business institution.
Electromagnetics resources and software. Also a directory of us folks in the business.
Continuing education in RF and microwave theory and techniques.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
You haven't joined the IEEE? Here's a chance to redeem yourself.
The IEEE is alive and well, even in darkest Los Angeles. Find out what's kickin' in the LA Council.
IEEE MTT metro LA/San Fernando Valley Chapter
Info on the next meeting.
The IEEE MTT Society. Not the world's most thrilling web site, but, hey, after all, this is the MTT! To download the minutes of the latest MTT Adcom meeting, in Adobe Acrobat 3.0 format, click here. It's just like the Congressional Record, only not as exciting.
This is my kind of science writing: clear, witty, pointed, and absolutely honest. The politicians absolutely hate this guy. I can't think of a better recommendation.
National Center for Science Education
Had enough of religious zealots' attempts to corrupt science education in the US? Then join these guys. Especially if you're a scientist named Steve...
Helsinki
University
of Technology
Finland's major technical university, a hotbed of research in millimeter-wave technology. While you're here, check out the Radio Laboratory.
University College, Dublin, Microwave Engineering
University of Aveiro, Portugal
Chalmers
Institute:
Microwave Engineering
Three of the world's top research groups in nonlinear circuit analysis and device modeling.
Not to be confused with West Philadelphia High. They brag a lot about academics, but the cold reality is that all the best cheese-steak and hoagie shops have disappeared. And, do you suppose that the Moore School will ever stop bragging about the Eniac and get a life?
Not to be confused with Westwood High School. A pity; they lost all their good students and faculty when Santa Monica displaced Westwood as the Place to Go on Saturday nights.
The National Radio Astronomy Observatory. Come in and check out the "far-out" astronomical stuff.
A first-class technical university. Also the home of the Eastman School of Music and the Eastman Wind Ensemble.
It's not just for little green men anymore. Or even little green women. This is real research, regardless of what you might have assumed.
This is a really cool idea: letting volunteers use idle computer time (like, on your home computer) to crunch SETI data. Wanna look for ET? Stop in. The data you process might be what we're all looking for.
The oldest licensed high-school noncommercial FM station in the US. Bet you didn't know such things existed. I did. I worked there in the 60s.
Los
Angeles Area
Consultants' Network
Resources for engineering consultants in the Los Angeles area.
Orange
County Consultants'
Network
Resources for electrical engineering consultants in the Orange County (S. California) area.
National directory of consultants in electrical engineering. This is part of the IEEE, but you'd never know it from the regular IEEE web site.
Los Angeles
Times' Small-Business Site
Small-business calendar and columns by Paul & Sarah Edwards, home-based business gurus.
Transgressing the Boundaries:
Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics
of Quantum Gravity
The full text of the famous hoax article by Alan Sokal submitted to the "prestigious" cultural-studies journal, Social Text. I enjoyed this incident more than anything that's happened in the last few years. Did you know that Alan Sokal, with his father Nathan, is a co-inventor of the Class-E amplifier?
The latest incarnation of what used to be the Journal of Irreproducible Results. Be sure to check out the Ig Nobel Prizes.
An award given to anyone who improves the gene pool by killing himself in the stupidest way possible. Many of these stories are obviously urban legends, but some have a ring of truth. There are a huge number of "immitator" web sites, some of which are pretty good, too, which you can find through any of the usual search engines.
Are you sick of emails advertising get-rich-quick schemes, quack medicine, and pornographic web sites? Here's what to do about it.
Sphere Research's Sliderule Universe
See what real men used for engineering calculations back in the dark ages. While you're at it, go to our Goodies page and download a digital sliderule of your own!
Like to watch those tiny dots gliding across the night sky? This site will tell you which satellites are visible from any point on the earth, and where and when they are in the sky.
The Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. For unabashed rationalists only.
Lots of slick stuff about NASA interplanetary missions.
See what's shakin' in S. Cal.
USGS: Earthquake
Activity in N. California
Not to be outdone by us southerners, N. Cal. has earthquakes, too. Did you know that?
While we're on the subject of disasters, we'll make sure that folks outside of California are not left out.
This is what a science museum should be. If you enter this place and emerge less than four hours later, you have no soul.
Another example of a great science museum. This is the high-budget variety, but nobody's perfect.
Wanna make ball lightning with parts from an old microwave oven? Here's how to do it.
What would a high-tech site be without a link to the Dilbert web page? I don't want to think about it.
Celebrate your nerdhood! We geeks rule the world!
Lots of useful information on GPS, including a great description of how it all works.
Nolo publishes a series of wonderful self-help legal books. Even if you don't want to do your own legal work, the insight their books provide is invaluable. (They no longer have their lawyer-joke archive on the web site. You gotta buy it. Bummer!)
Trigonometry and Calculus Problems of the Week
You have to be a real geekoid to go for this one.
Find just about anyone who has an email address, web URL, or even a phone. But remember: they can find you!
You have to be a little careful of downloaded software these days. The virus danger has always been present, of course, but now, many pieces of "free" software include spyware as well. Things from Netlib and the Engineers Club, and software in source code form, is invariably safe. (Who gives a damn what websites engineers are viewing, anyway?) Screen savers and file-sharing services are probably the main sources of spyware.
Engineers'
Club Shareware Library
A large collection of engineering shareware and demo software. Not only electrical engineering.
A library of heavy-duty mathematical stuff.
A huge collection of shareware.
Lots more shareware.
Touted by PC Magazine as a top shareware site. Of course, it's run by Ziff-Davis, who publishes PC. Oh, well...
Originally The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software, but now pretty much everything.
Another big collection of software.
We at NLT have always been concerned about good health. Therefore, we include these links to valuable information on the basics of human nutrition.
As Benjamin Franklin said, beer is proof that God loves us. This site is devoted to nature's most perfect food. It's not just for breakfast anymore!
The staple diet of college students, computer geeks, and even microwave engineers. It's not just for breakfast anymore!
One of the essential minerals for human survival. Especially in the aerospace industry. It is breakfast!
The Exploratorium Chocolate Page
I've read that 30% of the US population are committed chocaholics. An incredible statistic! How could they have underestimated this so severely?
Incredible as it may seem, all but one of these sites has disappeared. It must be a conspiracy to squelch dissent and questioning of the status quo! It's time we rose up in arms to stop this sort of thing!
All you conspiracy theorists should find this interesting and persuasive.
Ban the
Dangerous
Chemical, DHMO!
Incredibly, the government still allows this substance to enter the food supply, and to be dumped into the environment with no controls whatsoever! However, in the interest of balance, be sure to see the site set up by the Friends of Hydrogen Hydroxide. Be sure to check out The Scortched Earth Party, who is behind the Friends of HOH site.
Does George
W. Bush Look Like a Chimpanzee?
This is a really important issue, I know. Almost as important as determining which has the higher IQ.
Probably not, but I do think he looks like a chimpanzee. Apparently there are lots of web sites by addled fundamentalists who seriously believe this.
Is floccinaucinihilipilification
the longest word in
the English language? Maybe, but probably not.
Well, OK. Now you know.
Oh, so that's how you get a Pultzer for commentary!
