Ceaseless Student

I’m doing my OSS is the history of analog circuit design. So I’ve been studying the history of translinear circuits and the history of log-domain filters to date. Until this week, it was all just reading, but I just put up an article on Wikipedia that I really, really like. I was originally just planning to add or expand the history section of the circuit classes I studied (which I’ll do for, say, op-amps), but as it turns out, translinear circuits and log-domain filters don’t have articles yet. Or didn’t. Now, translinear circuits have a sweet article and the one for log-domain filters is likely to be coming to a free encyclopedia near you.

In short. My OSS feels much more real now that I’ve done something. It feels extra real b/c it looks like a pro wiki article what with citations left and right etc.
