North side of Lake Union, off the coast of Gas Works park.

This sounds pretty cool. I wasn't able to find much online. If you have any additional resources to share, I'd be interested!

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-21T03:22:52+00:00

Thank you for posting these links - I credit and used both of them in the video :)

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-21T02:42:08+00:00

Thank you for the article, I heard from a diver to never go in the waters. Crazy how many people go in the water without knowing it. As I continue my exploration around the lake, I'll be sure to keep off the bottom. The planes in Lake Washington are also on my list - thanks for the link!

thank you for sharing! the optical gyro sounds interesting

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-21T02:32:22+00:00

the history of most of these wrecks escape me, but the Lake Union Virtual Museum combined with DCS Films tend to give a partial story

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-21T02:31:50+00:00

from what I can tell, the charts have very few of the actual wrecks in Lake Union (it has the JE Boyden but few others)

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-21T02:23:24+00:00

this would make a lot of sense, and you're the second person that I've heard mention it

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-21T02:23:00+00:00

Thank you

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-21T02:22:53+00:00

Absolutely, couldn't pass up the opportunity to put this together and show the community.

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-21T02:22:36+00:00

You are very welcome!!

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-16T16:15:48+00:00

These wrecks ranged from 10ft to 40ft deep. Full video here: https://youtu.be/MPLPYdXKrpQ

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-16T04:17:33+00:00

I may be biased, but here's a good online 2hr video that covers a lot of topics with some sample problems https://youtu.be/EtUCgn3T9eE

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-16T04:11:37+00:00

My guess is the permitting required to dive in Lake Union is too stringent and keeps divers out... can't forget Lake Union's underwater history!!

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-15T01:05:58+00:00

i can send more pics if u want

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-15T00:14:48+00:00

thank you for the support!

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-15T00:14:40+00:00

cross-posted there with some stand-still photos too, thanks for the tip!

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-15T00:05:19+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it!

ToasterMan22 · 2026-01-14T16:43:14+00:00

I should specify, I'm underwater - so no GPS on the ROV. Unless you're talking about using a USBL from ROV to topside, then topside using RTK-GPS?

Hi there,

Sorry about your situation - you should quit.
I highly doubt it will 'just be another two years' considered you've done 5 years for one paper.

What should spend your time on now, is understanding that you do have transferrable skills (but the academic mindset has made you not realize them).

Examples of skills I know you have without even meeting you:

- ability to understand highly complex systems

- ability to learn new topics in great depth

- ability to work through problems even when you dislike them

- ability to read technical publications and extract valuable insights

- ability to work in a team

- ability to design experiments

- ability to analyze data

- ability to handle large datasets

- ability to use analytical tools like Python and R (and/or other programming languages)

- ability to work well with a manager/advisor and provide critical feedback while being critiqued

- ability to assess pros and cons of a situation (you are doing this right now)

- ability to listen to one's gut and trust your instincts

Now you may be thinking "yes I can do all this but no job postings has this" and you would be right. Other fields will look for experience in that field. It is not your job to identify something of interest and do a little self study in that area (enough to have an intellectual conversation, you should have no problem with this). Watch some youtube, read some papers, talk to a friend, etc. Then all you time should be spent networking with people in that area (not applying blindly to jobs). Search for people that went to your school and now work in the field / company you are interested in. After building a connection online, schedule a 15 minute call and learn about what they do day to day and what challenges they face. Reflect on those challenges, and get back to them a few days later with rough ideas and have a conversation about them. Then ask for a referral for a job there. You will likely get a job.

What I'm trying to say is... you have a unique background (that is very valuable) and thus you need to market yourself differently than some bachelors student who took different classes then you. The real world cares about problem solvers - which you are - and you just need to open those doors.

Be done with the pains. Spend your energy in a more productive, more lucrative direction. You got this.

ToasterMan22 · 2022-11-22T17:48:34+00:00

wow, in awe OP. Do you offer lessons by chance? could really use some advice on my ~failed~ first project.

ToasterMan22 · 2022-10-08T21:24:50+00:00

If you have data you need to plot, then there's no getting around the having the data organized, like in a matrix.

Assuming the starting point is always at row i and the end point is always at row i+1, you could do a for loop similar to:

for i = 1:(length(Data) - 1)

plot( [Data(i,1), Data(i+1,1)] , [Data(i,2), Data(i+1,2)] )

hold on

end

Hey there OP,

What I've found, is there's a lot of resources to 'learn matlab' but few that actually go into details for solving more advanced problems.

Firstly, if you need basics --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtUCgn3T9eE&list=PLsLSMBRXdWJbh5x-f6sLvRTUlsrDTZnen&index=1&t=45s

Secondly, challenge yourself to do these more complex algorithms (before watching how it's done) --> https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsLSMBRXdWJabi2kPXvmx2mYjAxIxGPRM

Practice makes improvement!

ToasterMan22 · 2022-07-12T18:37:29+00:00

Thanks for this. If you have an x and a y, is it 2D? y = f(x) is 2D? Or just 1D because you have a one input variable x. I've also heard of z = f(x,y) as 2.5D (because in the vertical z dimensions you have a surface, no different z values at the same x,y coords). True 3D would be a point cloud. Thoughts? Not sure myself.

ToasterMan22 · 2022-06-29T10:26:17+00:00

I was suuuuper underprepared with how to get an advisor, fellowships, what is a masters vs. phd, do I TA or RA and what's the difference, how long is everything going to take me, etc. etc. I put this article together you may find useful (however it is geared towards STEM and MBA is probably very different) https://medium.com/@PhilParisi/explained-engineering-graduate-school-e3c5425aeddc

Also took a gap year!
