I know no one likes it when other people do it… But I do enjoy this feeling.

Moved the big speakers outside tonight to enjoy bLiNd’s listening party for his latest album.

Like everyone on YouTube, Georg Rock-Smi’s latest videos have been going full political rather than mere jabs at the state of our world wrapped in topics of hollywood and pop culture, and I appreaciate it. This video excellently highlights the relationship between human suffering and not being able to keep up with the Jones’. Food for thought which has left me hungry for more.

Well… I can’t not recommend making wine out of Gatorade. Would be nice with some strawberries… actually that’s probably the Gatorade flavour that I used. I can’t remember for sure though.

I just found out about iontophoresis and it sounds like something I could benefit from. I was contemplating buying a $500 machine which Facebook thought I needed, but a quick google brought me to some research about how to DIY it. Awesome. It looks like I have all the parts I need, but none of the papers went into any kind of description of how to hook things up, and I wasn’t 100% certain that I was following the wires correctly from the photos. They just say “attach the wires”, and I’m like: “Wait… just positive on one tub, negative to the other?” After much hesitation, and some experimentation: Yes. So my set up is currently a 12v 5a DC power supply and some hook up wire going into two plastic tubs with water, and I can feel that it’s working.

I wasn’t sure at first because I was using a 2.5v supply. I could feel an itchy sensation where the water surface met my skin, but not below that. I think it’s due to my softwater, and because I’m using plastic tubs instead of steel.

Anyway, there’s some reassurance that DIY Iontophoresis is as stupid simple as it looks. Now in four weeks I should know whether or not it works for me.

I’m very skeptical of the bandwagon that gets pushed along the “bit perfect” trail, and I appreciate the irony of these perfection seekers flat out decimating modern games to fit their nostalgia tastes. That being said, I think it’s still a super intriquing concept. There are such cool things to see when somebody shows you what to look for.

Digital Foundry also did a great video from a developers perspective. I like the potential this gives me to say it’s the game developer’s problem if my low-midrange pc can’t handle the graphics. “Just give me the downscaled, smoother frames! That’s easier for you, isn’t it?”
