There is a hilarious quote from Aphyr in Hexing the technical interview:
Vidrun, born of the sea-wind through the spruce
Vidrun, green-tinged offshoot of my bough, joy and burden of my life
Vidrun, fierce and clever, may our clan’s wisdom be yours:

I am reading The Brain User’s Handbook: A Neuroscience-inspired Guide to Peace of Mind which has this awesome image I want to share:
Over here one of my viewers asked “Why is the audio speed so weird?” The answer is that I was speeding up the video in an attempt to make the content more “lively” and so viewers could get through 6 minutes worth of content in only 4 minutes. However I have come to understand that others don’t think this is a good idea, so I have canceled the various videos I had queued for release, and I will remake them without the speed ups. I won’t be redoing any of the videos I have already released though, so that history will stand. :)
