So you know how NVidia's cool new hardware feature is monitors with "G-sync?" One which requires a special chip in the monitor and an NVidia GPU to improve the appearance of choppy framerate?

Yeah, AMD is laughing their asses off now. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7641/amd-demonstrates-freesync-free-gsync-alternative-at-ces-2014
Turns out, most monitors already support that without the special hardware, and all AMD GPUs already have driver support for it. They've named it in a tongue-in-cheek manner: "Free-Sync."

Also, earlier today, NVidia announced their new Tegra K1 chipset, which looks pretty nifty. It's a mobile device chipset with hardware comparable to that of the XBox360 and the PS3. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7622/nvidia-tegra-k1

Also, a presentation of a massive, curved monitor, in which Michael Bay's teleprompter dies, he gets super-nervous, and walks off stage after about 4 lines: http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/6/5281542/watch-michael-bay-melt-down-onstage-at-ces

I finally installed my video card driver last night, because I had no idea it hadn't gotten done.

Holy.  Shit.

Holy.  Shit.

My god. It's full of graphics!

Which card? It can make a substantial difference (obviously.)

This one :I

This one :I

Yeah, that's a pretty big difference. I use this, myself. Basically the same card, just a different manufacturer. Skyrim @ 60+ FPS, yo.

Went skiing with family, and got back safely before the BRUTAL COLD OF COLDNESS set in.

I may or may not have convinced my parents to get a shiba inu for their next family dog. They've shown interest in finding a local adoption center or a breeder or something. Even my dad sounds cool with it, and he's been a hardcore labrador retriever fan for years.

Much wow. Very happeh. It'd be even better if I weren't inevitably going to college or moving out in the next couple years.

A week or two of Minecrafting has transitioned my brain over from "I'm going to play vidja games and be depressed" to "Minecraft is making my brain bored, I need to do something; time to watch huge quantities of video lectures online." Time to devour some maths. :3

Woo, 3 month mood-cycles. Seriously, I think 80% of my learning happens during this part of each roughly 3 month time period.

Edit: :O Why did my calculus professors never explain things as well as these KhanAcademy lectures. These topics are super useful and relevant to my major, and I don't think we even went over partial derivatives or gradients! I've even implemented things from papers using these topics; but never actually seen the math behind them. >_>

Good times, that. I should watch more math lectures. I've never come away from one disappointed.

Shiba's are expert level dogs. I hope you guys are prepared.

Is that normal?  I seem to go through a similar pattern.

So doge. Much challenge. Many task.

Kinda cool like how all the people who played Nintendo games as a kid grew up and made cool stuff based on those very games. The amount of effort people spend recapturing their childhood happiness is outstanding.

Over time, I've come to believe the secret to happiness is creation. I have never seen anyone happier than when they're immersed in their own creations. Why do you think kids seem so happy and carefree? To them, the entire world has limitless possibilities. Over time, as our brains mature, the world seems to shrink around us. The best way to recapture that feeling of infinite possibility is production.

Found ASoIaF fanfic!
It's good!
